New destinations for Bristol, Newcastle and East Midlands as Jet2 launches more routes

Jet2 has launched seven new routes from three UK airports.

The budget airline will soon run weekly services from Bristol to Izmir, Bourgas (Bulgaria) and Costa de Almeria, and a twice-weekly service to Naples.

Elsewhere, East Midlands will gain new weekly services to Crete and Naples, while Newcastle airport will benefit from flights to Crete every seven days.

Jet2 has also launched a sale for the summer 2024, for customers who want to book in advance, potentially beating inflation and spreading the cost out over a longer time frame.

The airline is looking to expand its operations with more planes servicing Bristol, East Midlands, Glasgow and Leeds Bradford airports.

In summer 2024 Jet2 plans to run 120 weekly flights to the Canary Islands, 140 weekly services to the Balearic Islands, 100 to 12 Greek destinations every week, and more than 100 weekly flights to Turkey during peak times.

The airline will fly to 30 destinations from Edinburgh, 27 from Glasgow, 39 from Leeds Bradford, and 34 from Newcastle.

Steve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: "In response to demand, we have put a huge summer 24 sun programme on sale nice and early from seven of our UK bases.

"With summer 2024 available to book, we are offering flights and holidays across four seasons, so whether their customers are looking to book ahead or last minute we have independent travel agents covered."

Jet2 is not the only budget airline to be expanding following two very difficult years during the pandemic.

At the end of August Ryanair announced that it would be flying to 21 new destinations.

Holidaymakers departing from UK airports will be able to fly to destinations including Asturias, Catania, Edinburgh, Klagenfurt, Leipzig, and Lapland this winter.
