Budget airline easyJet has announced a new twice-weekly service from Southampton to Paris Orly, launching on March 31, 2025.
The new flights will operate on Mondays and Fridays, with fares starting from just £32.99, and easyJet Holidays is even offering package deals incorporating the new route.
The budget airline's latest addition marks its eighth route from Southampton airport.
The Paris Orly service adds to Southampton's growing connectivity, following TUI's recent announcement of its return to the airport after 15 years with flights to Majorca.
The French capital attracts millions of tourists every year
PAEasyJet plans to operate up to 21 departures per week from Southampton during next summer's peak season.
The boost will equate to a 31 per cent increase on journeys from the south coast airport.
The airline has had strong growth at Southampton, having transported more than 173,000 passengers to and from the airport since expanding beyond its seasonal Geneva service twelve months ago.
Aviation director at AGS Airports, Chris Tibbett, said: "Paris is a vital and well-loved destination for the central south region, and we are thrilled to see easyJet launch this direct service from Southampton to Paris Orly.
"With its easy access to the city and nearby attractions like Euro Disney, this will undoubtedly be a popular route.
"This latest addition underlines the strength of easyJet’s operations in Southampton and provides even more opportunities for local travellers."
Notably, British Airways has suspended its flights from Southampton for the upcoming summer.
The airline has not said why it has stopped flights from the southern airport.
