Airline adds to destination offering

AIRLINE Jet2.com and Jet2holidays has launched two new destinations from Leeds Bradford Airport.

The company has added Costa de Almeria in and Halkidiki in Greece, further expanding its flights and holidays programme for summer 2017.

These additions come on top of an eleventh aircraft, more flights and three more destinations, Costa Brava (Girona), Naples and Berlin, announced last month.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “We said there was more good news to come for Yorkshire customers and here it is.  Our biggest ever summer programme has just got even bigger with the addition of these two brand new destinations.  

“Costa de Almeria is our 14th Spanish destination and seventh in mainland Spain, giving people even more holiday choices to this popular country, and we’re thrilled to be giving our customers the chance to visit the beautiful Halikidiki area.  We’re very excited with these new destinations and I’ve no doubt they will be very popular.”

Tony Hallwood, aviation development director at Leeds Bradford Airport, added:  “As Yorkshire’s gateway airport, Leeds Bradford is pleased that Jet2.com and Jet2holidays are introducing a further two new exciting holiday destinations for summer 2017. Costa Almeria has fantastic beaches and hidden coves whilst Halkidiki offers a relaxing location with some of the best scenery in Greece. In total Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have now introduced five new destinations for summer 2017 offering their widest ever holiday and short break choice from Leeds Bradford.”
