Edinburgh Airport gets extra Jet2 flights to Tenerife after Spain relaxes entry rules

Jet2.com and Jet2 Holidays have announced they are adding more flights to a popular holiday hotspot.

Extra flights will be jetting off from Edinburgh Airport to Tenerife as Spain's entry requirements relax for teens.

Those looking for warmer weather and brighter skies now have more choice after as Jet2 reports a strong demand from holidaymakers and have added extra flights in March.

This comes after the Spanish Government eased the entry requirements for those aged between 12-17.

Until Monday February 14, all British travellers aged 12 and over was only allowed entry to Spain if they provided a Covid vaccine certificate proving they had two doses.

But now teens can provide a negative PCR test.

Anyone 18 and over need to show proof of vaccination and if it's been over 270 days since the last dose, a booster jab is required for entry into Spain.

Jet2 have announced that from March 15 and April 12, 2022, there will be two additional Tuesday services from Edinburgh Airport to Tenerife.

This will come just in time for Easter holidays.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “With Spain scrapping vaccination certification rules for 12-17 year olds and international travel starting to return to normal, families are really jumping at the chance to enjoy a much-needed holiday in Tenerife, and we have seen an increase in bookings.

"As such, our Winter Sun programme from Edinburgh Airport is looking busy across the board, with Tenerife in particular proving to be an extremely popular choice of holiday destination.

“In response to that demand, we have added an even greater choice of flights for the Easter holidays and winter to Tenerife from Edinburgh Airport, giving customers and independent travel agents even more opportunity to enjoy a break away.

"With customers missing out for two years, we are confident that these extra flights will sell exceptionally well very quickly, as customers make the most of being able to enjoy that famous Spanish sunshine once again.”
