The airline and operator is offering some 4.2 million seats across 14 winter sun destinations in total – an increase of more than 5% compared with its 2024/25 winter programme, making it its biggest winter sun launch ever.
Bournemouth, which will in spring 2025 become Jet2’s 12th UK base, will have up to 15 weekly flights to nine winter sun destinations spanning the Canaries, the Balearics and mainland Spain, plus Antalya, Faro and Madeira.
Brand new routes include Belfast International’s first flights to Palma and a new Newcastle-Marrakech link, which comes as part of a significant expansion of Jet2’s Morocco programme which will launch this coming winter.
For winter 2025/26, Jet2 will put on additional flights to Agadir from Bristol, Glasgow and Leeds Bradford airports. In total, the 2025/26 programme will see Jet2 operate almost 150 winter sun routes from its 12 UK bases, running to upwards of 550 weekly flights during peak periods.
Jet2 claims to be the first major operator to put winter 2025/26 on sale, stressing that the early launch came in response to demand from holidaymakers keen to lock in a winter sun break at the earliest opportunity.
"As well as providing the opportunity to book early, the size and scale of the programme [is] offering customers and independent travel agents more seats, choice and flexibility than ever before," said Jet2.
Further launches – including its 2025/26 ski, city breaks, Discover More and Iceland programmes – will follow over the coming months. Jet2 says its 2025/26 winter sun golf programme is also its largest-ever.
Steve Heapy, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays chief executive, said: "Our winter 2025/26 programme represents our biggest winter sun programme ever, and we are very excited to be putting 14 sunshine destinations on sale from our 12 UK airport bases.
"This exciting programme includes our first ever winter sun programme from our brand-new base at Bournemouth airport, as well as a significant expansion of our popular Morocco programme in just our second year operating to the Moroccan sunshine."
Heapy continued: "By launching our winter sun programme nice and early for 2025/26, we are giving holidaymakers the chance to book ahead and lock in their getaway while spreading the cost.
"With more people than ever wanting to swap the cold and rain of the UK in winter for some sunshine, we are expecting this new programme to sell quickly with customers and independent travel agents.
"We are confident our winter sun 2025/26 programme will be a fantastic hit with sunseekers, holidaymakers and golfers, and we cannot wait to unveil more details of our winter programme for 2025/26 very soon."
