Jet2.com and Jet2holidays has signalled an end to its UK expansion plans with the opening of a new base at Bournemouth airport next summer – its 12th – and played down any prospect of launching flights from Gatwick.
Jet2 flights from Bournemouth will get under way on 4 February 2025 instead of 1 April 2025
Chief executive Steve Heapy told TTG on Tuesday (26 March) the south coast airport filled a gap for the airline and operator that was now closed.
"If you look at our route network, a gap is certainly the south coast – we have Bristol in the south-west and Stansted in the east and there is a big catchment [around Bournemouth]."
