Jet2 announces expanded winter sun programme from Newcastle International Airport

With continued demand for Winter Sun from local holidaymakers, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have today put an expanded Winter Sun programme on sale from Newcastle International Airport for Winter 23/24, including a new winter route to Malta.

With 12 popular Winter Sun destinations going on sale from Newcastle Airport, the “unrivalled” programme includes a brand-new route for Winter 23/24 to Malta, with a service departing weekly. Jet2.com and Jet2holidays are also offering more choice to Antalya from Newcastle Airport too, with up to three weekly services departing in Winter 23/24.

The companies have expanded their offering when it comes to the Canary Islands (Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura), with up to 22 weekly departures to the Canaries from Newcastle Airport next winter. In addition, services will operate to Spain (Malaga and Alicante), Majorca (Palma), Portugal (Faro and Madeira) and Cyprus (Paphos).

Jet2.com and Jet2holidays are offering nearly 50 flights per week to these destinations from Newcastle Airport with multiple weekly, daily and even multiple daily services available during winter from early-November through to the end of April.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, commented: “We are seeing strong demand from customers in the North East wanting to escape the long British winter by booking their Winter 23/24 holiday nice and early. In response to this demand, we are stepping in by putting our Winter Sun programme on sale from Newcastle Airport.

“With more customers than ever wanting to give themselves something to look forward to next year, we have no doubt that these hotspots will be extremely popular with both customers and independent travel agents in the region.”

Nick Jones, chief executive of Newcastle International Airport, added: “Jet2.com and Jet2holidays’ increased winter 2023/24 schedule demonstrates the airline’s ongoing commitment to the region and confidence in the North East’s largest airport.

“This announcement recognises strong demand for travel in the region and the extension of Jet2.com’s Malta service into November and March/April is a welcome addition, providing the North East with even more choice into the winter season.”
