Capacity has been boosted to 17 destinations including Antalya, Bodrum, Dubrovnik, Alicante, Ibiza, Majorca and Larnaca, with new flights added in March, April and May timed with the start of spring and the Easter holidays.

Extra capacity has been added from 10 of Jet2’s UK bases – Belfast International, Birmingham, Bristol, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Manchester, Newcastle and Stansted.

Jet2 said “strong demand” for flights and package holidays had seen the Tivat, Girona and Izmir schedules started early. Flights will now start operating from the end of March to Girona and Izmir and from the beginning of April to Tivat.

Steve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “As the UK’s largest tour operator, we are continuing to react quickly to the demand we are seeing by adding on even more capacity for summer 24.

“Customers and independent travel agents have been flocking to book holidays for the early summer season, so we are delighted to be offering even more choice and flexibility to 17 sun destinations and giving holidaymakers many opportunities to get away on our award-winning flights and holidays.

“By extending the season to Tivat, Girona and Izmir, as well as adding additional services to a host of destinations for the early summer season, we are giving customers exactly what they want – an early slice of summer sun, and we know just how much they will be jumping at the chance to get away and grab this.”
