Despite the demise of Monarch airline, Jet2.com  has boosted capacity for the winter 2018/19, adding 10 new routes and an additional 160,000 seats, from their regional UK bases Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Manchester, Newcastle and Stansted.

Ski flights to seven destinations are now on sale – with increased services to Grenoble and Turin, and from Birmingham and Edinburgh to Salzburg – as well as their frequent services to Geneva, Lyon, Turin, Verona and Barcelona (serving Andorra).

Jet2.com CEO Steve Heapy said: “The announcement of our biggest ever winter programme shows the confidence that we have in our award-winning airline and package holiday offering.

“With Britons continuing to look to get away on their well-deserved holidays, particularly during the long British winter, we are stepping in to meet that demand by putting on more seats to provide more choice and flexibility than ever.”
