Announcements

Jet2.com and Jet2holidays has added more flights and holidays to Greece and Turkey for Summer 20 on the back of demand from customers looking to enjoy some Greek and Turkish sunshine.

We are giving customers even more choice and flexibility to visit Turkey and Greece this summer, thanks to over 30,000 new seats on sale, additional flights and larger aircraft which have been added this week. 

Customers are flocking to Turkey in their droves, and we have responded quickly to this demand by adding capacity to Antalya, Dalaman and Bodrum. This increases our total capacity to Turkey (Dalaman, Antalya, Izmir and Bodrum) this summer.

With nine destinations on sale to Greece (Corfu, Crete (Chania), Crete (Heraklion), Kefalonia, Skiathos, Kos, Preveza, Rhodes, and Zante), customers have plenty of choice when it comes to getting the best of this fantastic country this summer. With capacity added to Corfu, Crete (Heraklion), Rhodes, Kos and Zante, this again gives customers even more choice and flexibility and comes in direct response to demand.

We are working with governments and tourist boards to attract holidaymakers on the back of this increase in demand, and today’s announcement is a huge boost to both countries.

We have looked after customers during the Covid-19 pandemic, and are committed to giving the same VIP service for customers heading to Greece and Turkey this summer. 

Whether it is VIP customer service, friendly flight times and a generous 22kg baggage allowance through a flight-only booking with Jet2.com, or that very same VIP customer service, in-resort Customer Helpers, transfers, thousands of free child places and ATOL protection with Jet2holidays, customers can also be assured that they are in the very best hands when they do travel.

We have recently been named the winner of five awards in the 2020 Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice® Awards for Airlines. For the third year in a row, we feature in the Top 10 Airlines in the World category, appearing 5th in the list. 

In addition, we were awarded the Best Airline – UK and Best Low-Cost Airline – Europe for the fourth year in a row, as well as Best Economy Class – Europe for the third consecutive year. Jet2.com was also recognised as the Best Airline – Europe, demonstrating how popular we are with customers.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “We are seeing a real spike in demand for holidays and flights to Turkey and Greece, and as usual we have been quick to respond to what our customers want. With more seats and holidays on sale to these fantastic destinations, along with some fabulous deals, there’s no better time to escape the gloom of the UK and reach the turquoise seas and stunning beaches of Turkey and Greece. We have been demonstrating our commitment to Turkey and Greece over recent years, as seen through our continued growth, and we are working with governments and tourist boards to strengthen and develop that commitment. We would like to say thank you to them for their continued support.”
