TRANSFORMING CITIES | EUROPE Here, a view of Basel cathedral across the river Rhine over 600,000 passengers a year. Today, easyJet alone fl ies more than 2.3 million passengers in and out of the city each year, en route to 29 destinations. “easyJet’s decision to operate from here was the catalyst to this amazing growth in recent years, which has seen Liverpool become probably the UK’s fastest growing airport,” reckons Tudor. easyJet’s surprise TV hit, Airline, also helped put Liverpool airport on the map. The city has benefi ted too, thanks to the ease with which European visitors can now access Liverpool and north-west England. “easyJet has been a key factor in the boom in tourism in recent years,” says Tudor. We f ly to Liverpool from 29 destinations. See our insider guide on page 142 KRAKOW Each month 45,000 passengers fl y to and from Kraków with easyJet. The route’s popularity owes much to the Polish nationals working around Europe and returning home, but also to growing awareness of Kraków as a city break. 66 | TRAVELLER | 15 TH BIRTHDAY ISSUE “Since arriving in 2004, easyJet has had a big impact on Kraków,” explains Kraków Airport chief executive Jan Pamula. “It is an important carrier for those who work in the UK, but we have also experienced signifi cant growth in the number of tourists. British and Irish people account for almost 30% of tourist traffi c in our city.” “For the city of Kraków, low-cost carriers bring visitors and create income for hotels and restaurants. Kraków also has the famous Jagiellonian University – and thanks to exchange programmes the city now welcomes many overseas students.” We f ly to Kraków from nine destinations. See our insider guide on page 140 BASEL EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg, more commonly known as EuroAirport, straddles the French-Swiss border, and passengers leave by separate exits depending on which country they want to visit. The airport faced an uncertain future following the dramatic collapse of Swissair in 2001, but fortunes were revived when easyJet agreed to make Basel its second Swiss base after Geneva in 2004, and it’s now the biggest airline at the airport. The number of overnight stays in Basel has increased by around 50% since 2004 to more than 100,000 a year. And it’s not just the hotels and restaurants that benefi t when easyJet comes to town, according to Daniel Egloff, director of Basel Tourism. “Global companies based in Basel profi t by the extension of fl ight connections when they are hiring – especially when it comes to top managers. Accessibility is one of the most important decision criterions for employees,” says Egloff. “Our city also benefi ts from easyJet’s marketing – when it promotes the fl ight connection, it is also promoting the destination. Affordable air travel has made a strong contribution to the rise in popularity of city breaks and thanks to easyJet, Basel has been able to establish itself in that fi eld, attracting a whole new segment of travellers that couldn’t afford air travel before.” We f ly to Basel from 31 destinations.
