JET2.com and Jet2holidays have responded to demand from customers looking to enjoy some Greek sunshine in late summer, by adding more flights and holidays to Zante, Crete (Heraklion), Rhodes and Kefalonia from Leeds Bradford Airport, extending the Summer 2021 season.

The leisure airline and package holiday specialist has stepped quickly in to meet demand from local holidaymakers by adding new flights in October and November.

With customers looking to get away for their much-needed holidays this summer, this announcement gives them even more choice in the late summer period.

The addition of these new flights, as well as an expanded choice of two to five star hotels and great deals, means that Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have moved quickly to provide customers with the chance for summer sunshine.

The new flights added today are as follows:

• Zante – extra flying from Leeds Bradford means the season is extended until the end of October for the first time. Jet2holidays also has a wider selection of hotels and resorts on sale in Zante than ever before.

• Rhodes – extra flying from Leeds Bradford means Jet2.com and Jet2holidays are extending the summer season in Rhodes to mid-November.

• Crete (Heraklion) – extra flying from Leeds Bradford means Jet2.com and Jet2holidays are extending the summer season in Heraklion to November 8.

• Kefalonia - extra flying from Leeds Bradford means Jet2.com and Jet2holidays are extending the summer season in Kefalonia to mid-October.

Jet2holidays is responding to demand for the assurance that its ATOL protected package holidays provide; in particular confirming that customers will be refunded quickly if their holiday is affected by travel restrictions.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “There continues to be enormous pent-up demand from local holidaymakers, who want nothing more than to get away to the sunshine and enjoy their well-deserved holidays.

“As always, we listen to what customers want and react accordingly, so that we can provide them with the holiday choices that they want.

“Extending the summer season to Greece means we are doing exactly that; giving customers more opportunity to get away and enjoy a much-needed holiday.

“As a result of the assurance that customers get from our award-winning flights and ATOL protected package holidays, we will be continuing to respond to the demand so that when travel restarts, we can take customers from Leeds Bradford Airport to their favourite holiday hotspots.”
