Jet2.com and Jet2holidays put expanded Summer programme on sale from London Luton Airport

Just two weeks after their inaugural flight departed from London Luton Airport, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have announced a massively expanded Summer programme for 2026 from their newest base – with five new routes, extra capacity to all regions, and an additional aircraft coming into operation.

For their second summer of operations from London Luton Airport, the leading leisure airline and UK’s largest tour operator have 22 sunshine destinations on sale, including brand-new Corfu, Kos, Preveza (exclusive), Skiathos (exclusive) and Menorca.

This expansion represents a capacity increase of 44% when compared to Summer 25, meaning customers and independent travel agents across London, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire have much more choice and flexibility, with 620,000 seats and up to 50 weekly departing flights during peak periods to choose from.

The announcement comes in direct response to the strong demand from customers and independent travel agents, and Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have invested directly into their operations at London Luton Airport, adding a 3rd based Airbus A321neo aircraft at the airport, to support this expanded programme.

The award-winning airline and tour operator are adding five brand-new routes for next summer, two of them exclusive to Jet2, giving customers and independent travel agents even more choice. Four of the new routes are to popular destinations across Greece, meaning the companies are offering holidaymakers an even greater selection of Greek hotspots to choose from – with seven hotspots across Greece now on sale in total.

The five new routes for Summer 26 from London Luton Airport are as follows:

• Corfu – two weekly services (Monday and Thursday) from 21st May to 29th October 2026.
• Kos – two weekly services (Monday and Thursday) from 21st May to 29th October 2026.
• Preveza (exclusive route) – weekly Sunday services from 24th May to 1st November 2026.
• Skiathos (exclusive route) – weekly Saturday services from 23rd May to 10th October 2026.
• Menorca – two weekly services (Tuesday and Friday) with Tuesday flights available from 5th May to 20th October 2026, and Friday services from 22nd May to 30th October 2026.

In addition to the new routes, the other sunshine destinations going on sale from London Luton Airport for Summer 26 are – Canary Islands (Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura), Spain (Alicante, Girona and Reus), Turkey (Antalya and Dalaman), Greece (Heraklion in Crete, Rhodes and Zante), Balearic Islands (Ibiza and Majorca), Italy (Verona) and Portugal (Faro and Madeira). Jet2 is the only airline to operate to Girona and Verona for Summer 26 and, along with Skiathos and Preveza, it means the companies will fly to four exclusive destinations next summer.

For Summer 26, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have also added extra capacity to Antalya, Fuerteventura, Crete (Heraklion), Majorca, Rhodes and Zante to offer customers a greater choice of duration options.

The announcement comes just two weeks after Jet2.com and Jet2holidays’ first flights departed from London Luton Airport. Following a phenomenal response to the arrival at the companies’ 13th UK airport base, resulting in strong demand for their award-winning flights and Real Package Holidays, the airline and tour operator have moved to provide customers and independent travel agents with even more choice.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “We are delighted to be going on sale with a fantastic Summer 26 programme, meaning we have a massively expanded range of choice for our second year of operations from our newest base, London Luton Airport.
