Jet2.com and Jet2holidays boost capacity to Tenerife

Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have added more flights and holidays to Tenerife as they have seen “strong demand” following the Spanish government’s relaxation of border restrictions.

Last week, Spain announced it would not require child visitors, aged 12 to 17, to be fully vaccinated, starting from February 14.

The extra Jet2 flights will operate from February 25 to May 23 and mean there will be 7,000 additional seats from five UK airports: East Midlands, Edinburgh, Leeds Bradford, Glasgow and Manchester.

Steve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “With Spain scrapping vaccination certification rules for 12 to 17-year-olds and international travel starting to return to normal, families are really jumping at the chance to enjoy a much-needed holiday in Tenerife, and we have seen an increase in bookings.

“With our huge programme on sale to the Canary Islands, our winter sun and summer sun programmes are looking busy across the board, with Tenerife in particular proving to be an extremely popular choice of holiday destination.

“In response to strong demand, we have added an even greater choice of flights to Tenerife for the Easter holidays and during winter and summer, giving customers and independent travel agents even more opportunity to enjoy a break away.”
