Jet2's arrival was the latest significant step in Liverpool John Lennon Airport's growth.
In a press conference on Tuesday (May 16), the airline and holiday company shared the news that it will begin operating flights from Liverpool in March 2024. It will offer 20 routes, seven of which will be new to the airport.
The airline's CEO Steve Heapy said the move had been a long time coming. An announcement video shared on social media by the airport showed a deluge of tweets from people begging Jet2 to come to Liverpool over recent years.
