Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “Customers are telling us they want to book ahead and secure that all-important holiday, so they can have the best choice of hotels, rooms and dates. We have responded to the strong demand from holidaymakers wanting to lock in their getaways, by putting our biggest and best summer programme on sale for 2026, earlier than ever before.

“Our summer 26 programme represents a huge expansion with more seats and routes on sale, meaning holidaymakers have never had so much choice and flexibility. In addition to offering customers and independent travel agents a greater selection of flights and holidays to choose from, our enormous summer 26 programme allows them to book in advance and get a date in their diary now.

“To support this unrivalled flying programme, we have expanded our operations at Bournemouth, East Midlands, Manchester and Newcastle International Airports and brought in extra aircraft at these airports, alongside brand-new and more fuel-efficient Airbus A321neo aircraft at London Stansted and Glasgow Airports for the first time, which are over 20 percent more fuel-efficient than older aircraft, and have a lower noise footprint of 50 percent.

“While we may be announcing our biggest summer 26 programme to date, we are not done yet and will be revealing even more good news about our 2026 operations very soon. Our Summer 26 programme promises to be our best yet, and we have every confidence it will be a huge success.”
