Jet2 expands Luton programme for summer 2026

Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have expanded their Luton programme for summer 2026, with five new routes introduced alongside extra capacity elsewhere and an additional aircraft.

The Jet2 brands started operating from the base two weeks ago and will serve 17 destinations this summer using two new Airbus A321neo aircraft.

The expanded 2026 programme, which will feature a third Airbus A321neo, will operate to 22 destinations, including four new Greek routes and a new service to Menorca.

Extra capacity has also been added to Antalya, Fuerteventura, Crete (Heraklion), Majorca, Rhodes and Zante.

The bolstered programme, which represents a capacity increase of 44% compared with summer 2025, offers a total of 620,000 seats and up to 50 weekly flights in peak periods.

Of the five new routes, Preveza and Skiathos will be exclusive to Jet2.

A weekly Sunday service will operate to Preveza from May 24 to November 1, 2026, while a weekly Saturday service will operate to Skiathos from May 23 to October 10, 2026.

Corfu and Kos will each be served by weekly services on a Monday and Thursday from May 21 to October 29, 2026, with Menorca set to have a weekly Tuesday service from May 5 to October 20, 2026, as well as a Friday service from May 22 to October 30, 2026.

In addition to the new routes, the other destinations now on sale for summer 2026 are the Canary Islands (Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura), Spain (Alicante, Girona and Reus), Turkey (Antalya and Dalaman), Greece (Heraklion in Crete, Rhodes and Zante), the Balearic Islands (Ibiza and Majorca), Italy (Verona) and Portugal (Faro and Madeira).

As well as the exclusive routes to Skiathos and Preveza for summer 2026, Jet2 will also exclusively serve Girona and Verona.

Steve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “Since announcing our arrival at Luton, we have been overwhelmed by the feedback from customers and independent travel agents and the demand for our award-winning flights and Atol protected package holidays has been truly excellent.

“With five brand-new routes, additional capacity and an extra aircraft coming into operation, our summer 2026 programme gives holidaymakers exactly what they want – more choice and flexibility.”
