Jet2 has announced a change to their flights between July and September following high demand from holidaymakers
Jet2 has unveiled a significant change to its schedule ahead of the busy summer getaway period. The budget airline is boosting its flight schedule during July, August and September.
The airline opted to implement this change after experiencing substantial demand from travellers. Jet2 will now provide additional flights to Greece departing from Birmingham Airport this summer.
The company has added extra capacity to Crete and Santorini throughout July to September this year. This development establishes Jet2 as the largest Greek operator from the Midlands airport.
The sun-soaked Greek isles are experiencing tremendous appeal amongst British holidaymakers. Jet2 states its move will grant Brits “even more choice and flexibility” when travelling to the popular destination.
They operate services to 15 Greek locations from Birmingham Airport. These encompass Athens, Corfu, Crete (Chania), Crete (Heraklion), Kalamata, Kefalonia, Kos, Lesvos (Mytilene), Preveza, Rhodes, Samos, Santorini, Skiathos, Thessaloniki (Halkidiki) and Zante, reports the Express.
This means Jet2 is now providing more than 2.5million seats from Birmingham Airport this summer spanning 62 routes.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, commented: “Greece is an enormously popular destination, and it continues to appeal to customers and independent travel agents looking to enjoy some much-needed sunshine.
“As the UK’s favourite airline and tour operator, we know just how much holidaymakers love these Greek destinations, and we are delighted to be once again stepping in to meet demand.
“We have an unrivalled programme on sale to Greece for Summer 26 from Birmingham Airport and are now expanding that to give customers and independent travel agents even more choice and flexibility with the addition of extra flights to Crete (Chania) and Santorini.”
