easyJet UK country manager Ali Gayward said: “We are delighted to be celebrating the launch of our new services from London Gatwick to Kittilä and Rovaniemi, further strengthening our UK network and providing more opportunity for our customers in the south of England to book a festive getaway just in time for Christmas.”

Gatwick head of aviation development Stephanie Wear said: “We are delighted to welcome two easyJet routes back to Gatwick, connecting the south-east with Kittila and Rovaniemi in Finland once again.

“This is particularly exciting for families wishing to visit Lapland and Santa Claus Village or for those looking to view the spectacular Northern Lights or try out a new ski resort.”
