Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have unveiled their largest-ever Summer programme for 2026, with flights and holidays now available to 57 sun and city destinations from all 12 of their UK airport bases.
As the first airline and tour operator to launch their Summer 2026 schedule, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays is offering more seats, routes, and flexibility, supported by an expanded fleet of aircraft, including the environmentally-friendly Airbus A321neo, which is 20 percent more fuel-efficient and 50 percent quieter than older models.
With 18.6 million seats available – an increase of 700,000 over Summer 2025 – the programme spans nearly 450 routes, including 22 new ones. The new routes will take off from airports such as Bournemouth, East Midlands, Edinburgh, and Newcastle. For example, Bournemouth will see new flights to Malaga, Dubrovnik, and Verona, while East Midlands will offer new routes to Agadir, Costa de Almeria, and Split.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: ‘Customers are telling us they want to book ahead and secure that all-important holiday, so they can have the best choice of hotels, rooms and dates. We have responded to the strong demand from holidaymakers wanting to lock in their getaways, by putting our biggest and best Summer programme on sale for 2026, earlier than ever before.
‘Our Summer 26 programme represents a huge expansion with more seats and routes on sale, meaning holidaymakers have never had so much choice and flexibility. As well as offering customers and independent travel agents a greater selection of flights and holidays to choose from, our enormous Summer 26 programme allows them to book in advance and get a date in their diary now.
‘To support this unrivalled flying programme, we have expanded our operations at Bournemouth, East Midlands, Manchester and Newcastle International Airports and brought in extra aircraft at these airports, alongside brand-new and more fuel-efficient Airbus A321neo aircraft at London Stansted and Glasgow Airports for the first time, which are over 20% more fuel-efficient than older aircraft, and have a lower noise footprint of 50%.’
Jet2.com’s expanded fleet will feature 136 aircraft, and further announcements about Summer 2026 are expected soon. In addition to sun destinations, the company will add more leisure city break destinations.
