Jet2.com announce a host of new flights and holidays from Edinburgh for later this year

Jet2 has added a selection of further flights and holiday packages from Edinburgh Airport.

The travel provider will be allowing passengers to fly to more Greek destinations in October and November 2021, with hopes of regaining business.

Currently, only a very limited number of flights are leaving the airport, as lockdown and travel quarantine restrictions are imposed on anyone coming back into Scotland from abroad.

Under the restrictions, any trip out of a local authority area must be for an essential reason, however there are hopes for a more normal life to resume later this year as vaccinations continue.

Already planning for when the rules are relaxed, Jet2 have said they are looking to "extend the summer 2021 season" to manage demand for post-pandemic trips.

Additional flights from Rhodes and Crete have been added to the schedule, with Glasgow Airport also set for similar increases.

Steve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “There continues to be enormous pent-up demand from holidaymakers in Scotland, who want nothing more than to get away to the sunshine and enjoy their well-deserved holidays.

"As always, we listen to what customers want and react accordingly, so that we can provide them with the holiday choices that they want. Extending the summer season to Greece means we are doing exactly that; giving customers more opportunity to get away and enjoy a much-needed holiday."
