New flights launched to Canaries

The Canary Islands could be in line for a property market boost as low-cost airlines announce new flights from the UK.

Budget carrier easyJet has revealed that three new services will fly to the archipelago from early next month, with both the north and south of England gaining extra flights.

A Liverpool to Fuerteventura service will begin on November 2nd and flights to Lanzarote will start from the same location the next day.

On November 4th, a new service will commence to Fuerteventura from London Stansted.

Such routes are among 22 new winter schedule services revealed by the airline, which may suggest that locations in places like the Spanish islands are likely to see more tourism and property trading as economic conditions improve.

The boost from easyJet follows the launch last week of new flights from Monarch.

It is now running an extra two flights a week to Gran Canaria from Birmingham, London Gatwick and Manchester, as well as routes to Fuerteventura from Birmingham, London Gatwick, London Luton and Manchester.
