JET2.com and Jet2holidays have today waved off their first flight to Sicily from Leeds Bradford Airport, after their inaugural flight to the sunning island departed this morning.
The busy flight marks the start of the airline operating weekly Wednesday services to Sicily from Leeds Bradford Airport until October 26.
The start of flights and holidays to Sicily is part of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays’ expanded programme for summer 2022 from Leeds Bradford Airport. Thanks to the addition of this new destination, it means the companies have five Italian destinations on sale this summer from the base (Sicily, Naples, Pisa, Rome and Verona).
Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean and is a well-established destination with UK holidaymakers, offering everything from beach holidays to city breaks.
Package holidays to Sicily with Jet2holidays offer customers and independent travel agents a choice of beach resorts, including Taormina, Taormina Mare, Giardini Naxos, Syracuse, Cefalu and Campofelice Di Roccella.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “We are delighted to wave off our first flight to Sicily from Leeds Bradford Airport today.
“The addition of this stunning Italian island to our Summer 22 programme from Leeds Bradford Airport has proven to be extremely popular with customers and independent travel agents looking for glorious sunshine alongside that authentic Italian experience.”
