Popular airline announces six new destinations from major Scottish airport

JET2 have announced six new destinations from Glasgow Airport in a bid to give Scottish holidaymakers more choice for a winter getaway. 

As part of its winter 2026/2027 city break programme, the popular airliner has unveiled six new destinations across Europe. 

The destinations, which went on sale on Wednesday for the winter months of 2026 and 2027, include Berlin, Budapest, Krakow, Prague, Rome, and Vienna.

Jet2 said it will offer twice-weekly services to Rome, Krakow, and Prague and will also operate a mini-series of dedicated Christmas market trips to Berlin, Budapest, and Vienna.

Two weekly services will operate to Berlin, Budapest, and Vienna during the winter period, giving Jet2 customers the chance to visit some of the most “dazzling Christmas markets” Europe has to offer. 

Chris Tibbett, aero director at AGS Airports, who owns Glasgow Airport, welcomed the six new routes as he said they will give Scottish holidaymakers more choice over winter.

He said: “This announcement marks another exciting milestone in our long-standing partnership with Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks.

“The addition of six fantastic city break destinations, including dedicated Christmas market trips, gives Scottish travellers even more choice and flexibility when planning their winter getaways.

“We’re proud to support this expansion and look forward to welcoming thousands of passengers through Glasgow Airport as they set off to explore some of Europe’s most iconic cities next winter.”

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said the new routes have been announced due to the growing demand for Christmas getaways.

He said: “We are delighted to be putting our Winter 2026/2027 city break programme on sale from Glasgow Airport with a fantastic choice of flights to popular winter destinations.

“Whether it is a magical city break or winter wonderland escape, we are offering something for everyone, and customers need look no further when it comes to getting away next winter.

“With local holidaymakers continuing to look to get away on their well-deserved holidays, particularly during the long Scottish winter, we are stepping in to meet that demand by providing lots of choice and flexibility to some of the most popular city and Christmas market destinations.”
