New UK-Spain Flight Routes Announced for Winter and Beyond
Spain is set to become even more accessible for UK travellers, with several airlines unveiling new routes that will boost air links between the two countries. From winter escapes to spring and summer holidays, these additions promise greater flexibility and choice for both leisure and business trips.
Starting in October 2025, EasyJet will introduce a seasonal service from Edinburgh to Málaga, alongside new connections for the 2025/26 winter period, including Liverpool to Almería, Edinburgh and Leeds Bradford to Barcelona, and Manchester to Madrid. These additions aim to meet growing demand for Spanish destinations during the colder months.
British Airways City Flyer, part of IAG, is set to launch a new service from London City to Madrid in December 2025, while Ryanair will add a route from London Stansted to Murcia starting November 2025.
Looking ahead, Wizz Air will expand its network in March 2026, introducing five new connections from London Luton Airport to Bilbao, Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, and Seville.
For those planning spring and autumn getaways, Jet2 will begin operating two weekly flights from Manchester to La Palma in April 2026, followed by additional services from London Stansted to La Palma in October 2026. These new flight routes highlight Spain’s continued popularity as a destination and airlines’ commitment to offering more travel options for the upcoming year.
Ahead of travelling to Spain and its islands, visitors should check the requirements of the European Union’s new Entry/Exit System (EES) which is gradually being implemented across the destination:
