Jet2.com’s Expansion in Leeds Bradford

Jet2.com is significantly expanding its presence at Leeds Bradford Airport, building on the momentum created by easyJet’s withdrawal and strong regional demand.

Here’s a clear, detailed roundup of what’s happening, based entirely on the latest verified sources.

Jet2 is preparing its biggest-ever programme from Leeds Bradford Airport for Summer 2027, adding new destinations, extending seasonal routes, and increasing aircraft capacity.

Six New Destinations for 2027

Jet2 will launch six new routes, strengthening Yorkshire’s connectivity to popular holiday markets: Hurghada (Egypt) – Sharm el Sheikh (Egypt) – Enfidha–Hammamet (Tunisia) – Preveza (Greece) – Santorini (Greece) – Tivat (Montenegro)

These additions reflect Jet2’s confidence in sustained demand from Yorkshire travellers and local travel agents.

Why Jet2 Is Expanding

The closure of easyJet’s Leeds Bradford base (announced for January 2027) has created a strategic opening. Jet2 is moving quickly to fill the gap, reinforcing its position as Yorkshire’s leading airline.

Jet2 has operated from Leeds Bradford since 2003 and now offers 65 destinations, supported by strong regional loyalty and demand.
