Two new routes and lots more passengers for Jet2
23.11.10
Jet2 is to create 145 jobs at Leeds Bradford next year as it expands its services from its home base. The airline will also increase seating capacity on its 11 planes based at the airport to meet growing demand.
The expansion follows a record summer for the airline this year at Leeds Bradford Airport, where it carries more than 50% of the airport’s passengers. It had a record 1.1m passengers over the summer, serving 41 destinations, with demand for flights to the Algarve, the Balearic Islands and the Spanish Costas exceeding expectations.
The airline is planning to increase its seat capacity at the airport to 1.8m next year. Two new routes will be launched in 2011. Weekly flights to Funchal in Madeira will start in February, and a weekly service to Bodrum in Turkey will start in June. Services to the popular Spanish resorts of Malaga, Alicante, and Palma will include double daily flights during the peak summer months.
