EasyJet will launch daily flights from its Bristol base to Milan from April 23 April.

Fares start from £24.99 one way (£42.98 return including tax) and the airline expects to carry 100,000 passengers on this route in the next 12 months.

UK general manager David Osborne said: "Following on from the success of our Bristol to Paris route we are also delighted to announce that this route will increase from one to two flights daily from October."
