We have
responded to demand from customers looking to enjoy some Greek sunshine in late
summer, by adding more flights and holidays to Zante, Crete (Heraklion),
Rhodes and Kefalonia, extending the Summer 21 season and
providing customers with more choice.

With customers
looking to get away for their much-needed holidays, today’s announcement gives
them even more choice in the late summer period, thanks to the addition of
almost 80 flights in October and November.
The addition of
these new flights, as well as an expanded choice of 2-5 star hotels and great
deals, means that we have moved quickly to provide customers with more
opportunity to grab a slice of the summer sun.
The new flights
added today are as follows:
Zante – 34 new flights introduced,
with extra flying from Birmingham, East Midlands, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Manchester,
Newcastle and London Stansted. As well as extending the season until the end of
October for the first time, we have a wider selection of hotels and resorts on
sale in Zante than ever before.
Rhodes – 20 new flights introduced,
with extra flying Edinburgh, Glasgow, Birmingham, East Midlands, Leeds
Bradford, Manchester, Newcastle and London Stansted. As a result, we are extending
the summer season in Rhodes to mid-November.
Crete
(Heraklion)
– almost 20 new flights introduced, with extra flying from Edinburgh, Glasgow,
Birmingham, East Midlands, Leeds Bradford, Manchester, Newcastle and London
Stansted. This means we are extending the summer season in Heraklion to 9th
November.
Kefalonia - extra flying from Glasgow,
Birmingham, East Midlands, Leeds Bradford and Manchester means that we are
extending the summer season in Kefalonia to mid-October.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays
said: “There continues to be enormous pent-up demand from British
holidaymakers, who want nothing more than to get away to the sunshine and enjoy
their well-deserved holidays. As always, we listen to what customers want and
react accordingly, so that we can provide them with the holiday choices that
they want. Extending the summer season to Greece means we are doing exactly
that; giving customers more opportunity to get away and enjoy a much-needed
holiday. As a result of the assurance that customers get from our award-winning
flights and ATOL protected package holidays, we will be continuing to respond
to the demand so that when travel restarts, we can take customers from our
rainy islands to their favourite holiday hotspots.”
Emy Anagnostopoulou, Director GNTO UK Office, said: “We are extremely
excited to hear that Jet2.com and Jet2holidays will be extending
their summer season to Greece in response to customer demand. We would like to
thank everyone at Jet2.com and Jet2holidays for
believing in Greece as an inspirational destination as well as for their
continuous support and we are sure that their customers will enjoy their
holidays to Crete, Rhodes, Zante and Kefalonia. The unbelievable summer
weather, even in October and November, and these additional flights will help
their customers explore the breath-taking scenery and the delicious gastronomy
of these four flagship islands.”
