You might be thinking: “Summer 2027? That’s ages away. Why announce it now?” Good question, and I have a sneaky theory. Jet2 saw easyJet and Ryanair gobbling up secondary airports, and they said, “Hold my sangria.”
By locking in these routes early, they’re betting that British holidaymakers are desperate for something new. No more Tenerife every year—we’re ready for Sibenik (Croatia) or Pisa (leaning tower, leaning into my wallet).
Also, let’s be real: the 2027 dates let them sell packages before rivals even wake up. It’s a power move, and I respect the audacity.
Jet2 Adds 17 New Routes For Summer 2027 Season - Aviation A2Z
Which UK airports win big?
Birmingham gets the most love this time—eight new routes. That means Brummies can now jet off to Bordeaux, Genoa, Kalamata, Perpignan, Pisa, Santiago, Sibenik, and Girona. I’m genuinely jealous of Birmingham right now.
Manchester isn’t far behind, with six new routes added. You’d think they’d slow down, but nope—they’re adding Chania in Crete (yes, the one with the Venetian harbour) and Lamezia Terme in Calabria (the toe of Italy’s boot).
For those in the North, Leeds Bradford gets Perpignan and Salzburg—perfect for a culture fix without the London prices. And Newcastle gets Girona and Santiago. Geordies, your summer 2027 is sorted.
