Airline hosts Eurovision party in the skies

In a spectacular show of music and unity, sequin-clad Eurovision fans took to the skies with easyJet in a special party flight to Copenhagen.

The flight departed from London Gatwick, sprinkling the skies with sequins and song as it cruised to Copenhagen Airport.

easyJet welcomed Eurovision enthusiasts, from the world’s biggest Eurovision fan club, General Organisation of Eurovision Fans (OAGE), as well as celebrity and influencer mega-fans.

The flight featured dedicated themed baggage drop, fancy dress, and a talent show at 40,000 feet, hosted by Drag Race star Tia Kofi.

easyJet flew 40,000 visitors from across Europe travelling for this year’s contest into Copenhagen airport, which provides quick, direct access to the host city of Malmö, Sweden, where the live semi-final and final events took place.

The airline will operate over 10 per cent more seats to and from Copenhagen compared to the same period last year.

The UK led the ranking of nations whose fans bought tickets for one of the Eurovision live final events, accounting for a fifth of all ticket sales.

Superfan and OAGE member Catherine Donald said: “The flight easyJet laid on for us was the ultimate treat for any Eurovision fan who loves to celebrate, the glitz, glamour and unity of Eurovision.”.

Michael Brown, director of Cabin Services at easyJet, added: "easyJet is proud to be part of the Eurovision phenomenon, providing a glittering platform for fans to start their Eurovision journey.

"Our Super Fan Flight to Copenhagen promises to be a memorable adventure - a high-flying act of its own.

"Our mission is to connect people and cultures together, and we're proud to be the Official Airline of the Eurovision Song Contest who share this passion.”
