“As well as extending the season to Porto, we have also put additional capacity on sale to popular winter sun destinations, meaning we are giving customers even more choice and flexibility when it comes to getting away next winter. Such an expansion would not be possible without customers choosing to travel with us in huge numbers, so I would like to sincerely thank our customers and independent travel agent partners for their continued support.
“We look forward to taking lots of happy holidaymakers on their well-deserved holidays next winter and showcasing our award-winning credentials.”
Tom Screen, aviation director of Birmingham Airport said: “We’re delighted that Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have directly responded to our customer’s needs and expanded their programme for Winter 25/26. The new increased services offer even more choice for our customers looking to jet off during the winter period, whether that’s for a much-needed dose of sunshine or a cultural city break.”
