Jet2 is launching 5 brand-new routes from East Midlands Airport in 2026, ranging from Mediterranean islands to an African city.
The low-cost airline has also added extra flights and holidays for Jersey, with new Saturday services through to October, providing customers a route to the Channel Islands following the collapse of Blue Islands.
Four of the five new routes will be launching this summer, with one starting during the 2026/27 winter season.
East Midlands Airport’s Customer Services and Planning Director Mike Grimes said: “We are so looking forward to summer 2026 – it’s going to be great to welcome SunExpress for the first time and to be able to offer new destinations to our customers.
“We’re always looking at ways to improve the choice and experience for customers and these new routes, along with ongoing improvements in the terminal, mean that summer 2026 is shaping up to be a great one for everyone who chooses East Midlands for an effortless start to their holidays.”
