Jet2 adds 10,000 early summer seats across five UK airports

Jet2 and Jet2holidays has raised early season capacity by a further 10,000 seats just weeks after expanding its summer programme.

More flights and holidays have been added to the Canary Islands, the Balearics, Cyprus, Portugal and mainland Spain from five UK airports.

Extra services have been laid on to Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Larnaca, Majorca, Tenerife, Faro and Malaga between March and May in response to customer demand for early summer sun.

The extra capacity is being deployed from Birmingham, East Midlands, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford and Stansted airports.

This announcement follows Jet2holidays becoming the UK’s largest tour operator, after increasing its Atol licence for the year by more than 500,000 to 5.8 million passengers.

Chief executive Steve Heapy said: “Over the last few weeks, we have expanded our programmes for this summer to a number of popular destinations. 

“As the UK’s largest tour operator, we are continuing to react quickly to the demand we are seeing by adding on even more capacity, meaning this year we will operate our biggest ever summer programme. 

“We are seeing customers and independent travel agents flocking to book holidays for the early summer season and are delighted to be offering more choice and flexibility when it comes to booking award-winning flights and holidays.”
