The three departure points are added to those from Jet2’s other seven bases announced last week.

Steve Heapy, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays chief executive, said: “Feedback from our independent travel agent partners has been telling us for some time that customers are wanting to book in advance, as this gives them the opportunity to lock in their price now. 

“As always, we have listened and responded accordingly by putting our largest ever Summer 24 Sun programme on sale now.”

Jet2 claims more than 15 million seats on sale for 2024, with 346 routes.

There are nine brand-new routes, including Stansted to Bourgas – for Bulgarian coastal resorts – and Stansted to Tivat in Montenegro, both twice-weekly.

Stansted and Birmingham will offer 42 destinations with a peak of around 200 flights a week. Manchester will offer 45 destinations and 300 flights a week.

Other additions for summer 2024 include Bristol to Izmir, Bourgas, Naples and Costa de Almeria, plus East Midlands to Chania and Naples, and Newcastle to Chania. 
 
Heapy added a cities programme would be confirmed “very soon”.
