Jet2 announce THREE new destinations from Leeds Bradford Airport for summer 2019

Budget airline Jet2 will operate three brand-new routes from Leeds Bradford next year.

Earlier this month the Leeds-based carrier announced it was introducing summer flights to its winter destination Krakow and adding extra flights on its most popular routes such as Alicante, Malaga and the Canary Islands. A new aircraft will also be joining the LBA fleet.

Now they have confirmed that they will fly to Bourgas in Bulgaria, Chania in Crete and Izmir in Turkey for the first time from summer 2019.

Jet2 now flies to 49 airports from Leeds Bradford.

Jet2's CEO Steve Heapy said:

“The addition of flights to Bourgas means we will operate to Bulgaria for the first time, and with resorts such as Sunny Beach on sale, we are expecting it be hugely popular with local holidaymakers. Greece continues to attract holidaymakers in huge numbers, and this new route Chania in Crete opens up the north west of this beautiful island. Finally, Turkey continues to see huge demand, so we are opening up more resorts on the west coast of this fantastic country, by adding flights and holidays to Izmir.
