Following continued demand from British holidaymakers looking to enjoy some much-needed sunshine, Jet2 has expanded its Summer 26 programme to Greece by adding more capacity to four popular Greek destinations. 

The UK’s favourite airline and tour operator has put nearly 30,000 extra seats on sale to Crete (Chania), Crete (Heraklion), Kos and Santorini for this summer from across four of its UK airport bases. The extra services are available from July to September 2026 from Birmingham, Leeds Bradford, Manchester and London Stansted Airports, and the expansion makes Jet2 the largest operator to Greece from the UK this summer.

With its sunny climates, idyllic islands and culture aplenty, Greece is continuing to enjoy enormous popularity with holidaymakers, and this latest expansion from Jet2 means holidaymakers have even more choice and flexibility when it comes to visiting the sunshine favourite this summer. 

Jet2 will operate to 15 Greek destinations this summer - Athens, Corfu, Crete (Chania), Crete (Heraklion), Thessaloniki (Halkidiki), Kalamata, Kefalonia, Kos, Lesvos (Mytilene), Preveza, Samos (new for Summer 26), Santorini, Skiathos, Rhodes and Zante. 

As a result of this expansion, Summer 26 represents Jet2’s biggest ever programme of flights and holidays to Greece, with over 3.5 million seats on sale for Summer 26 and 131 routes, including 25 new routes. This programme means more than 360 weekly departures to the popular destination from the UK at key periods during the summer, making Jet2 the largest operator to Greece from the UK this summer.
