Jet2.com and Jet2holidays will operate four repatriation flights from the island on Monday evening (24 July) – two to Leeds Bradford, and one each to Manchester and Birmingham, with capacity for just short of 800 people.
This is in addition to the more than 50 flights it is scheduled to operate between Rhodes and the UK this week. The carrier has cancelled all holidays due to depart to Rhodes up to and on Sunday (30 July), with all outbound flights in this time set to operate empty.
