ARCHIVED - Jet2 adds more flights from UK to popular Spanish hotspots
Extra services will link Britain with Spain and the Islands this summer
Budget airline Jet2 is offering UK travellers even more choice by chartering several new flights to popular holiday hotspots in mainland Spain and the Canary Islands for the upcoming summer season.
The new routes will operate from Belfast International, Edinburgh, Newcastle, East Midlands and Glasgow Airports.
CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays Steve Heapy revealed: “After the removal of all travel restrictions, international travel is looking like it did before the pandemic. This return to normal has led to customer confidence bouncing back strongly, with holidaymakers jumping at the chance to get away.
“As such, we are seeing enormous growth for all seasons, with Summer 22 proving to be one of the most popular times for a holiday. In response to that, we have added additional capacity to a range of sunshine destinations, providing customers and independent travel agents with even more choice and flexibility”.
The increased demand has already been felt in Spain over Easter, with more than 3,000 passengers grounded in Madrid’s airport due to huge delays caused by staff shortages; despite this, airlines are still expecting a bumper summer season and have scheduled 212 million seats this year.
“We are pleased to be offering a huge programme for Summer 22, with capacity being bigger than it was in Summer 19, and we are now expanding this even further,” Mr Heapy added.
Recent polling from Jet2 has shown that customer confidence is at its highest point since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, and that 70% of the people surveyed are confident about going on holiday this summer.
The additional flights will operate from the UK to Alicante, Lanzarote, Mallorca and Tenerife.
