Flight updates from Jet2, Ryanair, and TUI ahead of August 25 travel list review

UK airlines have been forced to adapt during the coronavirus pandemic and international holidays haven’t gone back to normal.

While some airlines have expanded flights in winter, others have been forced to cancel flights.

But they all hold onto hopes that restrictions will be lifted and travel can go back to some sort of normality.

The government is due to review the travel list next Wednesday. Birmingham Live reports that countries like Spain and Pakistan will be heavily looked at.

Here's a rundown of some airlines and what they have recently done regarding flights.

Jet2

Leeds-based airline Jet2 has expanded its number of flights over the winter.

Capacity is raised from Belfast International, Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Newcastle and Stansted.

Additional winter sun destinations going on sale include Malaga, Alicante, Faro, Malta and Majorca.

A clutch of destinations are also being offered from East Midlands airport including the Canary Islands, Madeira, Antalya, Paphos, Malaga, Alicante, Faro and Majorca.

This means the operator has 12 destinations on sale for next winter with up to 320 weekly fights already available.

TUI

TUI has been forced to cancel flights to more than 25 destinations across the world including popular UK holiday spots such as Malta, Sardinia and Sicily.

It comes as uncertainty across holidays continues with the green, amber and red list still in force in England.

The popular airline has been forced to cancel package holidays to Almeria and Girona in Spain have been cancelled until at least October 31.

A spokesperson for TUI said: "We are continually reviewing our holiday programme and cancellations in line with government updates every three weeks".

Ryanair

Ryanair has announced plans to add 11 new routes to its schedule this winter.

The schedule now includes over 2,000 weekly flights to over 400 destinations.

Departures include new trips from Birmingham to Bucharest, Vilnius, Milan Bergamo and Turin, as well as flights from Bournemouth to Budapest and Wrocław.

Bristol will get new connections to Barcelona and Madrid, Cardiff will see new flights to Dublin and London Gatwick will welcome a new Malaga route.
