Jet2 unveils five new destinations including three Greek islands

Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have added three Greek islands to their programme in response to strong demand for the destination.

National sales manager Simon Marshall revealed Poros, Aegina and Leros are now available to book for summer 2025 at the sister companies’ annual conference, taking place this year in Paphos, Cyprus.

The three islands are joined by Palermo, Sicily for summer 2026 – becoming the tenth Italian airport served by Jet2 – and Jet2CityBreaks adding Tallinn to its Christmas Markets programme for winter 25/26.

Customers can reach Poros and Aegina via flights to Athens airport from Manchester, Birmingham and Stansted, with ferry and private transfers included in a Jet2holidays booking.

Leros is accessible via Kos airport which customers can fly to from nine UK bases next summer: Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, East Midlands, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle International and Stansted.

Customers travelling on a Jet2holidays booking to Leros will have ferry and shuttle transfers included.

Addressing delegates at Jet2holidays’ tenth annual conference for independent travel agents, Marshall said continued demand for Greek holidays had led to the expansion.

Flights and packages to Palermo meanwhile will be available throughout summer ’26 from Manchester, with two weekly services on Tuesday and Friday; Birmingham, with weekly Wednesday services; and Newcastle International, with a weekly Tuesday service.

Flights to Tallinn for winter 25/26 will run from Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh, in response to the increasing number of customers looking to visit Europe’s Christmas markets.

Jet2CityBreaks will operate two weekly trips from each of the three airports from late-November until the week before Christmas.

Marshall said: “The launch of five brand-new destinations is fantastic news for independent travel agents and comes on the back of demand for our award-winning holidays no matter what time of the year it is.

“It is great to be spending time with independent travel agencies at our annual VIP conference and, in the spirit of our partnership approach, to be telling them first-hand that they can now offer their customers even more summer sunshine and Christmas markets magic.

“Greece and Italy continue to be summer favourites so we are adding even more choice thanks to the introduction of Poros, Aegina, Leros and Palermo, and the addition of magical Tallinn expands our Christmas Markets programme even further for next winter.”
