Weekly Monday services will operate to Bodrum from 6th May to 28th October 2024, meaning holidaymakers can access the southern Aegean coast of Turkey from Belfast International Airport via the airline and tour operator.
Completing the expansion, weekly Thursday flights to Malta will operate from 28th March to 31st October 2024. This gives customers the opportunity to book and travel to this island in the heart of the Mediterranean.
As a result of the addition of Bodrum and Malta, which are both exclusive destinations to Jet2.com and Jet2holidays from Belfast International Airport, the airline and tour operator have over 580,000 seats on sale for Summer 24 from Northern Ireland.
This represents a capacity increase of nearly 30% when compared to Summer 23.
The new additions to the Summer 24 programme mean customers and independent travel agents can choose from 21 sunshine destinations.
On top of these new routes to Bodrum and Malta, customers and independent travel agents can also book a summer break to other popular sunshine destinations in the Canaries, Balearics, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Cyprus, Croatia and Portugal for Summer 24.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “Following the magnificent response from customers across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland to our Summer 24 Sun programme going on sale, we are very pleased to be adding even more sunshine thanks to launch of brand-new Bodrum and Malta. We know these are destinations that our customers will love, and it adds even more choice from Belfast International with our award-winning business.
"We have always said how committed we are to Belfast International Airport, and investing in an additional aircraft demonstrates just how committed we are. As well as being able to book early, we know that customers will be thrilled at the huge choice we are offering when it comes to securing some Summer 24 sunshine, knowing that their price is locked in.”
Uel Hoey, Director of Business Development at Belfast International Airport said: “This is excellent news once again for Northern Ireland travellers with the expansion of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays’ award-winning holiday and flight products from Belfast International Airport.
"The addition of two excellent additional routes to Bodrum on Turkey’s Aegean coast and direct flights to the delights of the Maltese archipelago further enhance the appeal of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays’ overall programme within the market, while also offering greater choice and flexibility.”
Jet2holidays announced yesterday that it is now the UK’s largest tour operator.
