Jet2 adds more Newcastle flights and holiday options to busy 2024 summer programme

Holidaymakers will find more choice than ever when it comes to planning a trip abroad as Jet2 is adding more flights and holidays from Newcastle airport.

While many people have yet to take this summer's break, the travel company has announced it is already looking ahead to next, with big plans to expand its holiday programme with extra options available to seven sunshine destinations. Jet-setters keen to book ahead for spring and Easter will find more Jet2 flights and holidays available from Newcastle Airport in response to what the company says has been strong demand from North East customers.

The airline and tour operator has added services to sunny destinations in mainland Spain; Turkey; the Canary Islands; Croatia; Greece and the Balearics. Its summer season will be starting earlier, actually in spring, for Girona, in Spain's northern Catalonia area, and Izmir on Turkey's Aegean coast, with flights being available for the first time from March 31 from Newcastle, in good time for the Easter holidays.

There also will be extra capacity for spring to the likes of Reus in Spain as well as Dubrovnik, Ibiza, Rhodes and Tenerife. Jet2 says more holidaymakers are proving keen to book or travel earlier in the season so the new flights added for March and April - for the first time - and in May aim to cater for those people as well as covering the Easter break.

Steve Heapy, chief executive officer of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said the company reacts quickly to demand and added: "Customers and independent travel agents in the region have been flocking to book holidays for the early summer season, so we are delighted to be offering even more choice and flexibility.

"By adding additional services during peak times such as the Easter holidays, we are giving customers exactly what they want - an early slice of summer sun.” The extra Jet2 flights and holidays include:

  • Rhodes - Saturday service added on April 13
  • Tenerife - additional Friday service on April 26
