We believe it is important to link Birmingham and Nantes, two economic cities, in order to support the development of Nantes and the West of France as a whole.
Operations will begin on 27 June to Nantes airport. Two flights a week will then be operated until 2 September, every Monday and Friday. " The Nantes-Birmingham route is a direct service that we are delighted to add to the 24 destinations already offered from Nantes this summer, which now number 25. "says Reginald Otten, easyJet's Deputy Managing Director for France. " Linking Birmingham and Nantes, two economic cities, seems important to us for supporting the development of the Nantes region and the West Country as a whole. We will continue to develop this destination as we have been doing since 2019, and thus enable the British to discover the Great West, and the people of Nantes to escape for the time of a city break.
