London Luton Airport (LLA) passengers are set to benefit from even greater choice after Jet2.com announced an expanded summer 2026 programme, featuring five new routes and extra capacity to all regions. Jet2 will also introduce a third based Airbus A321neo aircraft to support the expanded programme at the airport. 

The expansion will mean more choice and flexibility for passengers and independent travel agents across London, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire, with 620,000 seats and up to 50 weekly departing flights during peak periods to choose from.  

The five new routes to be introduced for Jet2’s second summer of operations from LLA are: 

- Corfu – two weekly services (Monday and Thursday) from 21st May to 29th October 2026

- Kos – two weekly services (Monday and Thursday) from 21st May to 29th October 2026 

- Preveza (exclusive route) – weekly Sunday services from 24th May to 1st November 2026 

- Skiathos (exclusive route) - weekly Saturday services from 23rd May to 10th October 2026 

- Menorca – two weekly services (Tuesday and Friday) with Tuesday flights available from 5th May to 20th October 2026, and Friday services from 22nd May to 30th October 2026 

In addition to the new routes, the other sunshine destinations now available from LLA for Summer 2026 are - Canary Islands (Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura), Spain (Alicante, Girona and Reus), Turkey (Antalya and Dalaman), Greece (Heraklion in Crete, Rhodes and Zante), Balearic Islands (Ibiza and Majorca), Italy (Verona) and Portugal (Faro and Madeira).  

Jet2 is also the only airline to operate to Girona and Verona for summer 2026 and, along with Skiathos and Preveza, it means the companies will fly to four exclusive destinations next summer.  

Extra capacity will also be added to Antalya, Fuerteventura, Crete (Heraklion), Majorca, Rhodes and Zante to offer customers a greater choice of duration options.  

Today’s announcement comes just two weeks after Jet2.com and Jet2holidays’ first flights departed from LLA, following strong demand from customers and independent travel agents.  

Jonathan Rayner, Chief Commercial Officer of London Luton Airport, said: “The arrival of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays at London Luton Airport has certainly caught the attention of our sun seeking passengers who are already capitalising on the exciting choice of new routes and destinations on our departure boards.
