New summer holiday routes launched out of North West airports

New holiday routes will launch from Liverpool John Lennon Airport and Manchester Airport next summer.

Jet2holidays will offer breaks on the Costa de la Luz, through Faro Airport, from early May next year to the end of October 2025, for Liverpool, and to November, for Manchester.

A second route to Jerez Airport, in Spain, will also be on offer at Manchester.

The Costa de la Luz route will open up access to the stunning region via Faro Airport for the first time.

The expansion by the holiday operator comes on the back of strong demand from local holidaymakers looking to get away next summer.

From Faro Airport, it is a short drive across the Portuguese border into Spain where holidaymakers will now be able to choose from a range of hotels that have gone on sale with Jet2holidays across the four resorts of Punta Umbria​, Isla Canela​, Isla Cristina​ and El Rompido​.

The Costa de la Luz, also known as the ‘Coast of Light’, is a stunning spot on the south-western coast of Spain, making it the perfect choice for a sun-kissed holiday.

Known for its golden sandy beaches, it stretches along the Atlantic from Tarifa to the Portuguese border.

The diverse region is made up of tranquil seaside towns and vibrant cultural experiences, as well as natural parks, historic cities such as Cadiz and Huelva, and top notch golf courses.

Jerez is an exclusive route to Jet2 from Manchester Airport, with weekly Saturday services operating from May 3, to November 1, 2025.

Holidaymakers will be able to explore the Costa de la Luz region and the resorts of Cadiz, Novo Sancti Petri, Conil de la Frontera, Costa Ballena, El Puerto de Santa Maria ​and Zahara de los Atunes from Jerez Airport.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “As a result of this launch, customers can easily reach this stunning region and Spain’s best beaches via Faro Airport.

“This latest expansion comes on the back of strong demand from customers and independent travel agents looking to book with us out of Liverpool John Lennon Airport.

“Thanks to the launch of this brand new destination, we look forward to welcoming even more holidaymakers onboard and showcasing all the reasons why we continue to delight customers.”

“As a result of this launch, customers can reach this stunning region and Spain’s best beaches from Jerez Airport, which becomes our newest Spanish Airport, as well as from Faro Airport, too. We are incredibly excited about this new destination, and we are confident that it will prove extremely popular with our customers

Stephen Turner, Chief Commercial Officer at Manchester Airport, said: “We connect holidaymakers in the North with an unrivalled range of destinations, so it’s great to see Jet2.com adding Jerez to its already extensive route network from Manchester.

“The Costa de la Luz region has so much to offer visitors and we’re sure it will prove very popular with our passengers.”
