East Midlands Airport: Jet2 confirms changes for flights and holidays to Cyprus

With travel returning to normality, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays will recommence their popular programme of flights and package holidays to Cyprus from East Midlands Airport from this week.

A busy flight will depart from East Midlands Airport to Paphos on Sunday February 13, with customers in the region jetting off for some much-needed sunshine on the Mediterranean island.

It marks the start of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays operating weekly Sunday services to the popular holiday destination once again from the base. This increases to two weekly services (Wednesday and Sunday) from March 2.

The resumption of services to Paphos comes after the removal of restrictions for fully vaccinated customers arriving into the UK, which has seen customers flocking to book flights and holidays in their numbers.

There has been strong demand for flights and holidays to Cyprus, with Paphos proving to be a popular choice for holidaymakers looking to get away this February half-term, Easter and during the summer.

With flights and holidays restarting to Larnaca from April 6, Jet2 is anticipating a very busy year ahead.

With its Blue Flag shores, archaeologic treasures, and tasty cuisine, it is not surprising that the laid-back region of Paphos continues to be a firm holiday favourite as the Mediterranean islands suits every type of holidaymaker.

Stretching along Cyprus’ southwest coast, Paphos is in the thick of it with a palm-lined waterfront of busy bars and friendly tavernas.

Holidaymakers have plenty of activities to choose from, including a waterpark, zoo, shopping malls, PGA accredited and award-winning golf courses, and UNESCO-listed historical sites.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “We are delighted to be restarting our award-winning flights and package holidays to Paphos and seeing our flights take off once again from East Midlands Airport to the stunning island of Cyprus.

"Since travel has started to return to normal, we have seen strong demand from customers looking to make the most of being able to enjoy a much-needed getaway in the sunshine, with Paphos proving to be a popular choice of holiday destination from East Midlands Airport.

"We know how much holidaymakers in the region have missed out on being able to enjoy a getaway to Cyprus with Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, so the return of these services are proving popular with customers and independent travel agents.”
