Easy Jet Applies for Kosovo Route

The low-cost airline plans to connect Prishtina with Geneva for as little as 20 euro a flight.

British budget airline Easy Jet has applied for permission to fly to Kosovo’s international airport. From June next year, the low-cost carrier plans to start flights between Pristina and Geneva, with tickets starting from as little as 20 euro. The firm also has plans to connect Kosovo with other European cities at a later date.

The firm has applied to Pristina International Airport, PIA, for the right to run two flights a week between Geneva and Prishtina from June 19 of next year, PIA spokesman Altin Ahmeti confirmed.

“This company will increase competition in the market and will lower prices because of the cheap services it offers,” Ahmeti told the Prishtina daily Express.

Easy Jet’s closest services to Prishtina are currently Dubrovnik, Croatia, and Thessalonica, Greece.
The airline was founded by entrepreneur Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou in 1995, and he and his family remain major shareholders in easyJet PLC.

Easy Jet currently has flights between 103 cities in 27 countries in Europe and North Africa. It carries more passengers than any other United Kingdom based airline company, operating domestic and international scheduled services on 387 routes.
