Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have today unveiled their biggest ever Winter Sun programme, with flights and holidays going on sale for Winter 25/26 from across all 12 of their UK airport bases.

The exciting programme includes Jet2.com and Jet2holidays’ first ever Winter Sun programme from brand-new UK airport base, Bournemouth Airport, as well as a significant expansion of their new Morocco programme.

The leading leisure airline and UK’s largest tour operator have put 14 Winter Sun destinations on sale in total, representing over 4.2 million seats and a capacity increase of over 5% when compared to Winter 24/25, making it their bigger Winter Sun programme ever.

This includes the companies’ first ever Winter Sun programme from their newest UK airport base, Bournemouth Airport, with nine sunshine destinations on sale for Winter 25/26. This follows a phenomenal response to the launch of flights and holidays from the airport back in March.

In total, this programme will see Jet2.com and Jet2holidays operate almost 150 winter sun routes from across their 12 UK bases in Winter 25/26. In addition to the new Marrakech route, the programme also includes a new Winter route from Belfast International Airport to Palma.
