Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have boosted capacity to Turkey for early summer 2023 from seven UK bases.

The additional services to Antalya and Dalaman are available between March and June from Belfast International, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Manchester and London Stansted airports.

The airline and operator said the expansion would mean the company would operate up to 186 weekly flights to Turkey from 10 bases this summer.

The newly-announced services include:

  • Additional Monday services to Antalya from Belfast International between March 27 and April 24.
  • Additional Wednesday services to Antalya from Birmingham from March 29 to April 26.
  • Additional Tuesday services to Antalya from Edinburgh from March 28 to April 25.
  • Additional Monday services to Antalya from Glasgow from March 27 to April 24 and additional Tuesday services to Dalaman from April 4 to April 25, plus extra Wednesday services to Dalaman between May 24 and June 14.
  • Additional Monday services to Antalya from Leeds Bradford from April 10 to April 24, with extra Wednesday services from May 5 to May 24. Extra Tuesday services will also operate to Dalaman from the airport between May 16 and May 23.
  • Additional Thursday services to Antalya from April 6 to May 18 and extra Dalaman services between May 2 and May 23 from Stansted.
  • Additional Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday services to Antalya from Manchester from March 31 to May 24, meaning nine weekly services in April, 11 in early May and 13 by late May.

Chief executive Steve Heapy said: “Just weeks after being recognised as a Which? Recommended Provider, we are delighted to be announcing even more award-winning flights and holidays to Turkey for customers and independent travel agents to choose from.

“As the UK’s leading airline and tour operator to Turkey, we are experiencing strong demand from customers looking to enjoy some early Turkish sun and take advantage of the fantastic value the destination offers. As always, we have been quick to respond by adding extra capacity to Antalya and Dalaman from seven of our UK bases.

“This expansion further strengthens our commitment to the destination and comes as a result of us working with our industry and hotel partners in Turkey.”

Arzu Kahraman Yilmaz, counsellor of the Turkish Culture and Information Office in the UK, said: “Through our partnership with Jet2.com and Jet2holidays and the new flights they are offering, more UK visitors will be able to experience destinations across Türkiye in 2023.

“Our summer destinations offer many historical, gastronomic and cultural travel options, all as part of a relaxing summer holiday. We look forward to welcoming more Jet2.com and Jet2holidays guests from across the UK in the months ahead.”
