Looks like Jet2 are going to have every little of corner of Greece covered which is great to see. I wonder if they’ll ever take a look at Karpathos? I don’t think a U.K. tour operator has ever flown there but I gather the number of people visiting is increasing. It’s pretty much the last big Greek island left and if anyone can make it work then it would certainly be Jet2.

Karpathos, little known island between Crete and Rhodes. From what I understand, very quiet place to visit. Yes it may be an opportunity, but until another European operator commences holidays there on a regular basis, I can't see Jet2 or even Tui starting there soon.

...and it's a beauty... and have wanted a UK tour operator to fly there since I got into travel in the 80's....alas not. Kythera also, as a Dutch operator used to fly there until covid hit

TUI Nordic & Netherlands, Transavia, Neos, Eurowings and others already serve Karpathos so like you say definitely an opportunity.

Karpathos is beautiful. But the infrastructure is quite limited as holiday islands go. There are few if any night clubs with cheap beer so UK tourists would not flock there. Shame.

Samos is exactly the same, yet Jet2 have ventured there. I've been many times to Samos and the peace and quiet is the reason I have been. Admittedly there are more hotels and apartments I'd imagine on Samos than Karpathos, however this is the same issue in La Palma and probably why BHX hasn't been added yet

Sounds pretty good to me, what's a night club?

Apparently it is what Sir Nick Faldo still uses to play golf!

 

[thunderchild]

Sounds pretty good to me, what's a night club?

Exactly, anywhere with nightclubs is an instant no for me! Just as long as there are a few good restaurants and a nice quiet bar where you can get a decent Mojito then I’m happy!

Anyone surprised jet2 haven’t increased Morocco and added more routes?

 

[Jon Dempsey]

Three new destinations....

Olympus Riviera flying into Thessaloniki

Meganisi flying into Preveza

Palermo added to the City Breaks portfolio

https://www.birminghamairport.co.uk/latest-news/jet2-expands-summer-26-programme-from-birmingham-airport-with-launch-of/

That's Meganisi down The Swanny then!

Anyone surprised jet2 haven’t increased Morocco and added more routes?

No not surprised. Caution is what they do and why they do as well as they do.

Increasing depends on hotels, depends on runway slots and the return. Increasing Morocco may require sacrificing a canary island in winter. Which generates better revenue?

I do know the 321’s are heading down to Morroco this winter from Manchester & Birmingham. The intention to use them out of Stansted too when they get enough (winter 26/27).

First new route for 2027 - although is this a resumption? I can’t remember if they operated Bergerac before or am I getting mixed up with La Rochelle? Either way nice to see some regional France back on offer.

I can’t say for sure but I think Bergerac was on the cards before COVID, and then of course it never materialised

I'm almost positive Jet2 flew BHX-EGC until a year or two ago on a Saturday morning

La Rochelle is no longer a Jet2 destination and Bergerac was dropped. Great to see it back

I would agree. If not, Flybe definitely did.

correct Karl, they operated the route on saturdays in summer 2022 and 2023, maybe they will re-try Jersey now that we have no Blue-Islands, and only Easyjet twice a week?
