Jet2 has announced that they are launching new flights to a coastal African destination from a number of UK airports.
The flights will head to Enfidha in Tunisia, with two flights a week from Birmingham, Manchester and London Stansted from May 1, 2027 to October 31, 2027.

She said: “In May sunshine, the glorious blue sky pops off the glistening white walls of the stunning coastal town of Sidi Bou Said in northern Tunisia.
“All the buildings are decked out in white and blue, providing a gorgeous visual as the perfect sky kisses the crystal clear, calm Mediterranean sea.
“Sidi Bou Said is reminiscent of Santorini and symbolic of the blend of cultures that modern-day Tunisia infuses.”
Other destinations travellers can reach from Enfidha Airport include Port el Kantaoui, Skanes, Mahdia and Sousse.
Jet2 used to fly to Tunisia in 2015 from East Midlands, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Manchester and Newcastle airports but the route was suspended not long after it launched.
Steve Heapy, Jet2 Chief Executive, said: “With year-round sunshine, rich culture and fantastic scenery, Tunisia has something for everyone and we know how immensely popular it will be.
Fakhri Khalsi, Acting UK Director at the Tunisian National Tourist Office, said: “This announcement represents a significant milestone in our efforts to strengthen Tunisia’s position as a leading Mediterranean destination and reflects the growing confidence of major travel operators in our tourism offering.
“As one of the UK’s most respected and influential travel companies, Jet2’s entry into the Tunisian market will provide British travellers with even greater access to our country’s rich cultural heritage, beautiful coastline, authentic experiences, and renowned hospitality.”
