Jet2 launch Tunisia from Birmingham Airport for Summer 2027
UK consumer champion Jet2 has given local customers and independent travel agents plenty to cheer about, after announcing the launch of flights and holidays to Tunisia from Birmingham Airport for Summer 2027.
The UK’s largest tour operator and third largest airline will operate two weekly services (Wednesdays and Saturdays) to the North African hotspot from 1st May to 30th October 2027.
Today’s announcement comes in response to demand from customers and independent travel agents across the region and means they have plenty of choice when it comes to taking off to a sun-soaked destination that offers culture, cuisine, history, beaches and fantastic value for money.
The exciting new addition means that customers travelling to Tunisia with Jet2holidays can now choose from a range of 3 to 5-star hotels situated in the resorts of Port el Kantaoui, Skanes, Mahdia, Sousse, Yasmine Hammamet and Hammamet.
From Hammamet’s magical medina to Sousse’s palm‑lined ramparts, the country brims with colour and character. Holidaymakers can wander Roman amphitheatres, sip mint tea beside blue‑and‑white cliffside houses or watch fishermen haul in the day’s catch along Mahdia’s quiet coast. Out in the south, salt flats shimmer like glass and desert villages appear out of nowhere. As well as offering golden beaches, Tunisia offers more than just a beach break as it is a place where every corner has a story.
Today’s announcement means that Jet2 will operate to 68 destinations in Summer 27 from Birmingham Airport, with 6 new destinations including Tunisia, [JP1] Bergerac, Hurghada, Jersey, Kavala (Thassos) and Sharm el Sheikh.
As well as experiencing the delights of Tunisia, customers can also choose award-winning holidays and flights, whether that is a package holiday with Jet2holidays, or a leisure flight with Jet2.com. Each of the brands have been recognised as a Which? Recommended Provider for providing industry-leading levels of customer service and customer experience.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2, said: “We are thrilled to be giving customers and independent travel agents even more choice from Birmingham Airport thanks to the launch of Tunisia as our latest new addition. With year-round sunshine, rich culture and fantastic sunshine, Tunisia has something for everyone and we know how immensely popular it will be.”
He added: “This latest expansion demonstrates the strength of our growing business, and it comes on the back of customers and independent travel agents choosing to travel with us time and time again. Our award-winning proposition clearly continues to delight holidaymakers, and we look forward to welcoming even more customers onboard thanks to the launch of this new destination, taking the number of destinations we have on sale from Birmingham Airport in Summer 27 to 68.”
Matthew Hazelwood, Chief Commercial Officer at Birmingham Airport said: “Tunisia remains a popular destination from Birmingham Airport, and we are delighted that Jet2.com is providing customers with even more choice and flexibility from their local airport on this route. In just over three hours from Birmingham Airport, holidaymakers can discover a diverse and beautiful landscape, from national parks and Mediterranean beaches to the Sahara Desert and the Atlas Mountains.
