Jet2.com and Jet2holidays is poised to beef up Faro flight capacity following huge demand for its soon-to-relaunch Algarve programme in the hours following the government’s decision to finally lift restrictions on travel to Portugal.
The airline and operator confirmed late on Thursday (20 August) "multiple weekly" services to Faro would restart on Monday (24 August) from its nine UK bases, with Portugal due to be added to the UK’s travel corridor list during the early hours of Saturday morning (22 August).
The Foreign Office has also granted mainland Portugal an exemption from its global no-travel advisory. It had previously only exempted Portugal’s Madeira and Azores archipelagos.
