Jet2 adds 15,000 seats for spring and Easter

More flights and holidays to six destinations have been added by Jet2 and Jet2holidays in response to “sustained demand” for spring and Easter breaks.

An extra 15,000 seats to mainland Spain, the Canary islands, Balearics and the Algarve in Portugal have been added, representing more than 80 new flights.

Alicante, Malaga, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Majorca and Faro feature.

The extra capacity has been added from Belfast International, Bristol, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Manchester, Newcastle and Stansted.

The expansion follows capacity increases to Tenerife between February and May, as well as more flights and holidays going on sale to Majorca, Ibiza, Santorini and Sardinia for the summer.

Chief executive Steve Heapy said: “We are seeing sustained demand right across the board, with customer confidence bouncing back strongly as international travel starts to look like normal again.

“After the uncertainty of the past two years, it is very clear that customers want to book through a trusted package holiday provider rather than take their chances with a company that has let them down.

“In response to that, we are seeing strong demand and we are responding to that quickly by adding more capacity where necessary, providing customers and independent travel agents with even more choice and flexibility.

“Spring and Easter are looking like extremely popular times to escape, and we anticipate there will be a huge getaway to the sun which is why we are adding more capacity to these fantastic destinations in Spain, the Canaries, the Balearics and Portugal.”
