Just weeks after Jet2 confirmed it was launching flights to the Red Sea from six UK airports, including Edinburgh, easyJet has announced the launch of a new service between the Scottish airport and Sharm El Sheikh.
EasyJet’s first flights from Edinburgh to Sharm will begin on 10 November 2026, with flights and packages now on sale. The fights will operate on Tuesdays throughout next winter.
Jet2’s programme to Sharm and Hurghada starts three months later, in February 2027.
EasyJet UK Country Manager Kevin Doyle said: “It’s great to be able to offer our customers yet another new route and even more choice for a package holiday from Edinburgh with our new service to Sharm El Sheikh, providing Scottish travellers with a convenient, direct connection for those seeking year-round sunshine.
“This is the 12th new route we’ve added to our Edinburgh network this year, and we remain focused on offering even greater connectivity for customers in Scotland, along with fantastic service and great value fares.”
