Jet2 and Jet2holidays raise Leeds Bradford summer 2025 capacity

More than 40,000 extra seats are being added by Jet2.com and Jet2holidays from Leeds Bradford airport for next summer.

The increased capacity will see the group offer a record 1.9 million seats from the Yorkshire airport.

Additional flights and holidays have gone on sale to mainland Spain, Majorca, Portugal, Greece, Bulgaria, and Italy, as well as a 15th aircraft being deployed from Leeds Bradford.

Extra services have been added to Majorca, Reus, Faro, Kefalonia, Zante, Bourgas, Rome and Verona.

The expansion comes just days after Jet2 revealed the start of operations from Luton airport as its 13th UK base for summer 2025 after the introduction of Bournemouth services was brought forward to next February.

Chief executive Steve Heapy said: “The demand from customers and independent travel agents has remained strong since we put an unrivalled programme on sale, so we have once again responded by putting extra flights and holidays on sale and investing in our Leeds Bradford operation.”

Airport aviation development manager Tom Holdsworth added: “The expansion of Jet2’s summer 2025 programme from Leeds Bradford airport is fantastic news for our region. 

“With even more flights and increased flexibility to some of Europe’s most popular destinations, we can provide a memorable summer holiday experience all.”
