Jet2 expands flights from Bristol to Turkey after 'surging' popularity

Jet2 have brought forward the start of their Summer 2023 season of travel, expanding flights from Bristol Airport to Turkey. This means passengers will be able to fly to Turkey for a spring getaway, as flights will become available in 2023 much sooner than usual.

Bristol Airport has been chosen as one of six bases to offer multiple weekly flights to Dalaman earlier than summer 2023. They will now commence from Bristol Airport on the 17 th March.

Travellers will be able to greet the mountains and sea of Turkey sooner than before. Various resorts are on sale with Jet2 Holidays including Olu Deniz, Marmaris, Iclemer and Dalyan.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays , said: “Dalaman and Izmir are both enormously popular with customers and independent travel agents, and there is huge demand for both destinations and not just during the peak summer season. We have experienced a remarkable period of growth in Turkey on the back of this sustained demand, and we have continued to demonstrate our commitment to Turkey by working alongside the Turkish government, hoteliers and our partners to bring more UK holidaymakers to this wonderful country.

"By extending the Summer '23 season to Dalaman and Izmir, we are continuing to demonstrate that commitment and we know just how popular these additional services will be.” Three bases will be offering extended flights to Izmir: Birmingham, Manchester and London Stansted.

Arzu Kahraman Yilmaz, Counsellor of The Turkish Culture and Information Office, said: “With both Dalaman and Izmir witnessing a surge in travellers for both short and long breaks throughout the year, the extended routes from the regional airports in the UK to these iconic hotspots will make travel to Türkiye ever more easy.”
