The airline said this flight will give “customers the perfect opportunity to explore the sun-soaked island which is known for its crystal-clear waters, historic cities like Valletta, and a vibrant culture.”
In the Highlands, Inverness Airport will see a new twice-weekly service to Birmingham from 30 March 2026, flying on Mondays and Fridays. The route will restore a key link for business and leisure travellers, as well as opening up access to Birmingham Airport’s extensive holiday network.
The network’s growth next year gives travellers in Scotland more options for summer holidays, visiting loved ones or business trips while also enhancing connections from Europe to help boost Scotland’s vital tourism and visitor economy.
The announcement comes as eastJet celebrates its 30th anniversary at Glasgow Airport, marking three decades since its first flight from London Luton arrived in Glasgow on November 10, 1995.
EasyJet is Scotland’s largest airline, serving four Scottish airports – Glasgow, Edinburgh, Inverness and Aberdeen – with over 100 routes to 66 destinations in 22 countries across Europe and North Africa.
Speaking about the new destinations, Kevin Doyle, easyJet UK Country Manager, said: “In our 30th year, we’re as committed as ever to making travel easy and affordable for our customers in Scotland – which is where it all began for easyJet when our first ever flight arrived in Glasgow from London Luton on 10 th November 1995.
“Since then, we’re proud to have grown our network, spanning 66 destinations across 22 countries, offering even more choice and great value.

“These new routes from Glasgow and Inverness not only provide a fantastic range of destinations and more connectivity for our customers in Scotland, they also play an important role in supporting Scotland’s visitor economy and enhancing direct connectivity for European travellers eager to experience all that Scotland has to offer.
“More than eight million people chose to fly with us to and from Scotland over the past year for our choice, value for money and fantastic service, and we can’t wait to welcome more on board!”
While Chris Tibbett, Aero Director at AGS Airports, added: “The addition of these four routes by easyJet is fantastic news for the airport, the city and our passengers. The announcement comes just a matter of weeks after we marked the 30th anniversary of the airline’s first flight to Glasgow and it continues to go from strength-to-strength.
Enhancing our connectivity with major European cities is a key priority, so it’s particularly pleasing to see Lisbon and Pisa added to the over 40 destinations now served by easyJet from Glasgow. Both Sharm El Sheikh and Malta are two hugely popular destinations, and all four routes will provide passengers with even greater choice.”
