Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “We are very excited to announce London Luton Airport as our 13th UK airport base today, further expanding our footprint and bringing our award-winning holidays and flights to even more customers. Customers and independent travel agents have been asking us to open at London Luton Airport for many years now, so we know how enormously popular this announcement will be.
“We have seen time and time again how popular our product is when we bring it to new customers, and we look forward to delivering our VIP customer service to holidaymakers from our newest airport base.” He added: “This latest expansion reflects our strategy to be the UK’s leading and best leisure travel business and it underlines the confidence we have in our leisure travel product offering.
“As well as signalling great news for holidaymakers, today is also a major boost for the local economy as our significant investment includes the creation of over 125 jobs initially. We are looking forward to our first day of flying, when we can begin delighting customers with our flights and holidays, just like we do with millions of other customers across the UK every single year.”
The size and scale of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays’ Summer programme for 2026 represents the companies’ largest Summer programme to date. It is also the earliest ever that the airline and tour operator have gone on sale with their full Summer programme and the early release comes in response to strong demand from UK holidaymakers wanting to book ahead and get a date in the diary now.

Luton Airport , I believe that’s in England and near London , Why do they down south need another flight to Mallorca? Have they not enough? We in Scotland do not have one flight from end of October to end of February beginning of March , yet hundreds of thousands of people go to Mallorca from Scotland and a very high percentage of second home owners in Mallorca are Scots , but we are forgotten in the winter. And on top of that , in Spring, Summer and Autumn the flights are much more costly than flights from English airport, they can be as much as double the price of our friends in England . So Jet2 ,EasyJet and Ryanair please don’t treat us as second class citizens, Fred Graham . Port de Soller
As an Easyjet user, from 1996, more than 190 flights, can not understand why Easyjet have in winter made all flights to Palma at times when public transport (trains & buses) can not be used, either in UK or here in Mallorca. No wonder Jet2 have entered the Luton arena, however, the 0830 flight is still not eco-friendly for using public transport from north of Luton. EMR have collard the St P to Luton Parkway with the "Express", but there is a wide market from Yorkshire to London on their line to be captured if the budget airlines opened their eyes.
