New Route to Faro from EasyJet

To mark this new and unique service to Berlin-Schönefeld, Faro Airport and the British airline, who launch their 10th route to/from Faro and simultaneously enter the German market, welcomed the A319, the crew and passengers with a welcome shower of the aircraft upon arrival.

The direct link to Berlin Schönefeld, will operate with 2 weekly flights on Wednesdays and Saturdays (see schedule below) with an A319 aircraft, representing a total supply of 6,552 seats and 42 movements this summer.

For Faro Airport the opening of this route is a very positive sign from the German market, bringing Faro Airport better connected to another airport in the city of Berlin and the Algarve region served by a total of 6 weekly direct links.

For easyJet, which currently flies to major airports, the opening of a route in Faro strengthens its investment in Faro Airport and the Algarve and its strong commitment to take passengers to the heart of cities, saving time and the cost of their journeys.
