While passengers today get treated to sausage rolls on their flights, they will have five limited-edition dips to choose from. These are:
Tangy Rarte Tatin – “The comforting taste of caramelised apple and warm cinnamon, with a delicate hint of thyme. A sophisticated patisserie classic. “
Spicy Harissa Ketchup – “Vibrant and exotic, this sweet-and-spicy ketchup blends rich tomato, sweet date, and tangy pomegranate.”
Snappy Sangria – “Bursting with red wine, zesty orange, and tangy cranberry. All the vibrant spirit of Spanish Sangria. “
Saucy Kebab – “Aromatic and authentic, featuring zesty lemon, tangy vinegar, and smoky paprika. A total Turkish delight.”
Garry Wilson, easyJet Holidays CEO, said: “We’re thrilled to be launching a new base in Newcastle, driven by the strong demand for our flights and package holidays in the region. This is a major milestone for us, so partnering with Greggs, a true Geordie icon and one of the city’s most famous exports, felt like the perfect way to celebrate our arrival.
“Offering sausage rolls onboard and out in the streets is our way of thanking the North East as we continue to make travel from their local airport easy and affordable.”
Additionally, free sausage rolls and Destination Dips will be available from Monday 23 to Wednesday 25 in Newcastle City Centre via an easyJet cabin trolley.
Newcastle is easyJet’s 11th UK base opening. It provides over 800,000 seats for customers to choose from when planning trips from Newcastle Airport.
