Extra Jet2 Tenerife flights from Leeds Bradford Airport as families rush to book holidays after Covid rule changes

Jet2 is launching the highest number of flights ever offered to Tenerife from Leeds Bradford Airport.

As families finally look to travelling abroad for some holiday fun once more, the airline is experiencing high demand from those wanting to enjoy some sunshine.

Spain has recently dropped its vaccine requirement for UK teens and now allows them to enter the country with a negative PCR test, completed 72 hours prior to travel.

Jet2 is already the UK's leading operator for trips to the Canaries and with their latest news, likely to become even more popular with their extra capacity to the popular holiday destination.

From March 6 to April 17, Leeds Bradford Airport will see additional Sunday services meaning that two daily services will jet off to Tenerife on that day.

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 Leeds Bradford 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 Leeds Bradford 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.”

Vincent Hodder, CEO at Leeds Bradford Airport, said: “It’s fantastic to welcome more flights for popular connections such as Tenerife.

!These destinations are strong family favourites for a reason and we’re sure today’s announcement will be welcome news for many people ahead of the Easter holiday period.

!We look forward to welcoming more passengers back through our doors in 2022 and beyond.”
