Jet2 launches new routes from Manchester airport

Manchester Airport

Jet2.com has today launched three new city and short break destinations – Bergerac, Jersey and Vienna – from Manchester airport for summer next year.

The additional flights means more than 1.5 million seats will be available for local travellers, the airline’s biggest ever programme. Jet2’s flights to Vienna from Manchester are the only direct service from the North of the UK. The three times weekly summer service will begin operating on May 2, 2014 with prices starting from £40 per person, including taxes.

Summer short break lovers can also take their pick from the picturesque French market town of Bergerac – the only direct service available from the region – or the beautiful Channel Island, Jersey, with flights starting from £31 per person, including taxes.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: “We are seeing a growing number of local customers supplementing their main summer holiday with a series of shorter weekend trips, so it made sense to further expand our city and short break offering from the North West with this fantastic trio of destinations.

“We’re really excited about next summer, which is going to be our biggest yet at Manchester Airport. Our continued growth clearly demonstrates our ongoing commitment to providing local customers an unrivalled choice of great value flights and holidays to the top European destinations.”
