Jet2 confirms new flights from Manchester Airport

Jet2 has announced four new routes that will be launched from Manchester Airport next year, which it claims will make it the biggest scheduled leisure airline based at the hub.

The carrier will launch flights to Split and Dubrovnik in Croatia, Reus in Spain and Prague in the Czech Republic.

Launching between April 1st and May 25th, the new services will bring the total number of routes provided by Jet2 from Manchester Airport to 28.

Extra aircraft will be based at the gateway in the north-west, meaning 140,000 additional seats will be available to travellers over the summer period.

Philip Meeson, chief executive of Jet2, said: "Next summer will see us fly up to 140,000 extra passengers to fantastic destinations across Europe and northern Africa, ensuring that people living in and around the region have an unprecedented choice of holiday destinations.

"We have carefully planned our schedule and flight times to suit our passengers' needs, giving them the option to take short breaks or longer holidays of seven, ten or 14 days."

The airline also confirmed recently that it will be launching new flights to Faro and Dubrovnik from Edinburgh Airport next summer.
