EasyJet is looking for a Merseyside individual to be the face of a new route from Liverpool John Lennon Airport to the Isle of Man.

According to the carrier, it will commence daily flights between the two locations on May 21st.

To promote the new route the company is looking for individuals with the first or second name Douglas, in honour of the Isle of Man's capital city of the same name.

EasyJet passengers will choose from five candidates at Liverpool John Lennon Airport on the flight launch day and the victor will win a weekend for two on the island.

Ali Gayward, EasyJet commercial manager, commented: "I would urge anyone with the name Douglas on their passport to apply for the chance to become the face of our new route."

She added that finalists will also have the chance to win a year's worth of free flights to the island, known for "its miles of sandy beaches, breathtaking scenery and relaxed way of life".

EasyJet served a total of almost four million passengers last month (March), the company recently revealed.
