New Jet2 Birmingham Airport destinations will be 'music to ears' of travellers

Holiday giant Jet2.com has announced new destinations from Birmingham Airport after strong demand from customers and travel agents. The package holiday provider's new routes will run to sun-soaked destinations, which Jet2 bosses say they hope will be "extremely popular."

One destination is a completely new route and airport and the other is a new destination through an existing route. All the new destinations are part of Jet2's summer 2025 programme, so holidaymakers will have to wait to catch their flights.

However high demand is expected as tickets went on sale today, June 26. Airport bosses said Jet2's new offering will be "music to the ears" of West Midlands travellers.

The first new route is to Jerez in Spain, which will open up the Costa de la Luz region for holidaymakers. The holiday operator has also launched new holiday deals to Costa de la Luz via Faro Airport for its Birmingham Airport summer 2025 schedule.

Travel chiefs said the moves would open up a range of popular resorts on the Andalusian coast including Cadiz, Novo Sancti Petri, Conil de la Frontera, Costa Ballena, El Puerto de Santa Maria and Zahara de los Atunes.

Jerez is an exclusive route to Jet2 from Birmingham Airport, with weekly Friday services operating from May 2 to October 31, 2025.
