Airline said the new flights were added due to strong demand from customers

Low-cost airline Jet2 has announced extra flights to Spanish hotspots Majorca and Tenerife from Edinburgh Airport.

Jet2 also announced extra services to Majorca and Tenerife from Belfast, Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester and Newcastle between March and May.

Jet2 announced extra routes to Majorca and Tenerife in response to 'strong demand from customers'.

CEO Steve Heapy said: “As the UK’s leading tour operator and airline to Majorca and Tenerife, we are always quick to react to the demand from customers and independent travel agents.

“The early summer season is proving to be enormously popular in both destinations and we are very pleased to be offering even more choice and flexibility as a result of today’s announcement.

“Our Summer 23 programme is looking extremely popular and today’s expansion shows that this popularity applies right across the summer season, not just during the peak holiday period.”
