Jet2 will initially base two aircraft at Bournemouth, which becomes its 12th UK base, where it will operate up to 27 flights a week to an initial 16 destinations.
However, chief executive Steve Heapy on Tuesday confirmed to TTG that a third aircraft would be stationed at Bournemouth from April 2026, with Agadir launching as a new destination during winter 2025/26. He also hinted Jet2 would launch more new destinations from Bournemouth next summer.
Jet2 had originally intended to launch Bournemouth on 1 April but brought flights forward to 4 February, citing demand from both agents and consumers in the area.
