Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have today announced a significant expansion of their Italian programmes, with thousands of extra seats going on sale to Sardinia, Sicily and Verona across both Summer 24 and 25 in response to demand for ‘La Dolce Vita’ from customers.

The UK’s largest tour operator and third largest airline has added capacity from across eight UK airports, giving customers and independent travel agents even more choice when it comes to reaching this trio of Italian delights.

The expansion means the companies are extending the summer season in response to strong demand, as well as adding flights and holidays during popular periods, such as late Summer 24 and Easter 25.

In response to demand for beach holidays and city breaks to Sicily, as well as its culture, cuisine, dramatic landscapes, mighty Mount Etna and stunning beaches, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have added flights and holidays for Summer 24 and Summer 25.

The companies have extended the Summer 24 season right through to mid-November by adding a number of flights to Sicily from Manchester and London Stansted.

For late Summer 25, additional November flights have also been added to Sicily from Birmingham, Manchester and London Stansted.

With Sardinia offering customers the most authentic of Italian experiences and appearing on many people’s bucket list of must-see European beach destinations, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have added more September, October and November flights for late-Summer 24 from Manchester Airport and more November flights for late-Summer 24 from London Stansted.

In addition, the companies have extended the Summer 25 season to Sardinia by introducing a range of flights from April, perfectly timed for Easter, from Birmingham, Manchester and London Stansted Airports.
