Jet2 adds capacity for 2022 amid 'encouraging' bookings

Jet2.com and Jet2holidays has added almost 700 flights to a range of destinations from three airports for summer 2022.

Capacity has been increased from Glasgow, Leeds Bradford and Newcastle, while a range of city break destinations have also been added from the airports.

Jet2 said demand for 2022 holidays has been strong since launching the programme last week.

From Leeds Bradford, additional flights have been added to 15 destinations including Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Malaga, Reus, Costa de Almeria, Palma (Majorca), Ibiza, Faro, Antalya, Dalaman, Kos, Rhodes, Skiathos and Bourgas.

New city break packages from Leeds-Bradford are available in Amsterdam, Barcelona, Budapest, Paris, Rome, Krakow, Nice and Prague.

From Glasgow, capacity has been added to 19 destinations: Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Malaga, Alicante, Reus, Palma (Majorca), Ibiza, Menorca, Faro, Dalaman, Corfu, Crete (Heraklion), Kefalonia, Rhodes, Zante, Paphos and Malta.

Newcastle meanwhile will see extra flights to Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, Malaga, Alicante, Reus, Palma (Majorca), Faro, Antalya, Dalaman, Kos and Rhodes.

Short breaks to Rome, Krakow and Prague will also operate from Newcastle and Glasgow.

Jet2.com and Jet2holidays Chief Executive Steve Heapy said demand for 2022 holidays has illustrated that consumers want something to look forward to.

"We know there is a lot of pent up demand, and since putting our Summer 22 programme on sale we have been very encouraged by the number of bookings coming through from customers and independent travel agents," he said.

"Customers clearly want their all-important holidays to look forward to, so we have responded quickly by adding thousands of additional seats to a range of brilliant hotspots from these three bases."
