Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, the British airline and tour operator, have announced their 2026 summer program, which includes a major expansion with over 450 routes and 18.6 million seats. The program will feature over 700,000 additional seats for the 2026 summer season.
The company will operate flights and holidays from 12 UK airports (Belfast International, Bournemouth, Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, East Midlands, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool John Lennon, Manchester, Newcastle, and Stansted) to 57 sun and city destinations, including Turkey.
Jet2 CEO Steve Heapy said that their 2026 summer program will be their largest yet. He emphasized that customers want to book early to secure their vacations and guarantee the best hotel, room, and date options. To meet this demand, Jet2 launched its biggest summer program ever, offering more seats and routes, giving holidaymakers more choice and flexibility than ever before.
Key destinations for the 2026 summer program include the Canary Islands, Balearic Islands, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Cyprus, Croatia, Montenegro, Malta, Bulgaria, France, Morocco, Jersey, Austria, and Portugal.
To support this program, the company expanded its operations at Bournemouth, East Midlands, Manchester, and Newcastle International Airports, adding extra planes. Additionally, new, more fuel-efficient Airbus A321neo planes will be introduced at London Stansted and Glasgow airports, reducing fuel consumption by 20% and noise levels by 50%. While this marks their biggest summer program yet, Heapy hinted at even more exciting news for 2026 to come.
