EasyJet says is claiming to be the first low-cost airline to offer a door-to-door luggage collection and delivery service.
Initially, the pick-up service is available for passengers travelling between London Gatwick and Geneva.
The airline has partnered with baggage collection and delivery company Airportr following research that showed 40% of easyJet customers would be interested in having their bags picked up.
The airline will initially offer three services for customers travelling between Gatwick and Geneva, allowing them to choose to have their bags collected from their home or office and delivered to the airport, or pay for the full door-to-door delivery service. Prices start from £37.
EasyJet Chief Commercial Officer Sophie Dekkers said: “We are always looking at how we can innovate with the products and services we offer to ensure we are providing more of the choices our customers want, so we are excited to be introducing Airportr’s services initially from London Gatwick and Geneva, to help make travel even easier for our customers, whether they are flying for business or leisure.”
Airportr CEO Randel Darby added: “As an airline, easyJet is committed to getting their customers through the airport faster, whilst delivering the best experience when travelling with baggage. We’re delighted that Airportr can support easyJet on this mission, with bag-free travel now possible to, through and from airports.”
