The company will operate twice a week from June until the end of the summer. Until mid-June departures will be Mondays and Fridays, and from mid-June it will operate Tuesdays and Fridays. Easyjet reports that the company is considering maintaining the route in winter if it has a positive reception.

The route between Bilbao and Basel will be served by an Airbus A320 aircraft, with capacity for 186 seats.
