Edinburgh Jet2 holidaymakers have the option to travel to new European destinations in 2025.

The popular budget airline has announced two new popular locations for summer and winter passengers during 2025/26.

The flights will include breaks to Leros in Greece and Tallinn in Estonia following demand from customers.

Passengers will be able to reach the Greek island via Kos Airport, with two weekly services departing from Edinburgh Airport in Summer 25.

For those looking to experience more European Christmas markets, two weekly trips will depart from Edinburgh Airport to Tallinn every Thursday and Sunday between November 27 and December 21 2025. The new flight is an exclusive route from Edinburgh Airport to Jet2.com.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: “The launch of two brand-new destinations from Edinburgh Airport is fantastic news for our customers and it comes in direct response to the demand for our award-winning holidays at all times of the year.

"Greece continues to be a summer sunshine favourite, so we are adding even more choice thanks to the introduction of Leros, and the addition of magical Tallinn expands our Christmas Markets programme even further for next winter. We know these brilliant destinations will be very popular with customers and independent travel agents.”

Kate Sherry, Chief Commercial Officer (Aero) at Edinburgh Airport said: "More destinations for our passengers mean even more choice, and it’s fantastic to see Jet2.com and Jet2holidays adding these exciting new routes from Edinburgh.

"Soak up the sun on the serene Greek island of Leros, or embrace the wonder of a snowy Christmas in Tallinn. With such great options, why choose? Make one your summer escape and the other your winter wonderland!"
