Edinburgh Airport welcomes new Jet2 flights in time for May Day bank holiday

With travel restrictions ending and international travel returning to normal, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have added extra flights to holiday hotspots for Edinburgh Airport customers.

As travel restriction ease around Europe - and now being non existence in the UK - many will be booking flights and packing their bags ready to soak up some sunshine.

Jet2 have added new flights from Majorca and Dalaman from Edinburgh Airport in time for those wanting to jet off for the May Day bank holiday.

The additional services from Edinburgh to Dalaman will take off on April 26, while extra flights to Majorca will operate on April 28.

Since travel restrictions started to be eased at the beginning of the year, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have experienced strong and sustained demand. This demand has been boosted even further in recent weeks, following the removal of the passenger location form, and testing for unvaccinated customers.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “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 from Edinburgh Airport, providing customers and independent travel agents in the region with even more choice and flexibility. 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.

He added: “As our operation scales up, we are anticipating a busy and successful year ahead, flying lots of happy customers on our award-winning flights and holidays. Customers are looking to make the most of jetting away on their well-deserved holidays once again, and we are confident that these extra flights will prove a hit.”
