Jet2 airline route and capacity expansion

Overview

Jet2 has announced several operational expansions centered around its services from London Stansted Airport.

In early September, the airline announced a new weekly flight route from Stansted to La Palma in the Canary Islands, scheduled to begin on November 6. This service aims to meet increased demand for the UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.

Following this, the airline detailed its summer 2027 schedule expansion, which includes adding eight new destinations to bring its total to 55 routes. This growth includes increased connectivity to various Greek destinations, such as Crete, Santorini, and Kefalonia, to support shoulder-season travel. To manage this increased capacity, Jet2 has initiated a recruitment drive for new cabin crew at Stansted Airport.
