The further strengthening of partnerships with the British tourism market, as well as the strengthening of tourist bookings from Great Britain, were the main subject of the “Jet2 Destination Partnerships” workshop, organized in Leeds by the Jet2 group, with the participation of the GNTO Service of the United Kingdom & Ireland.
In this year’s flight schedule, Jet2.com has increased by 17,000 the availability of seats to popular Greek destinations, such as Rhodes, Corfu, Crete and Kos, while adding three new destinations (Poros, Aegina, Leros) and eight new air routes from the airports of Bournemouth, Luton and Bristol, from which an exclusive flight to Kalamata also departs.
During the event, the Head of the Greek National Tourism Organisation UK & Ireland Service, Eleni Skarveli, underlined the importance of participating in initiatives to strengthen professional synergies that strengthen Greece’s position in the international competitive environment and expressed her satisfaction with the inclusion of Samos in Jet2’s program for the next tourist season. At the same time, together with the Deputy Head of the same service, Angela Tzifa, they had meetings with key decision makers of the British tourist market, to whom they presented the diversity of the Greek tourist product, as well as the Greek positions on sustainability, the extension of the tourist season and sustainable tourism development.
The meeting was attended by more than 40 partners of national and local tourist organisations, as well as high-ranking executives of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays. The program included presentations and a series of thematic panels to strengthen cooperation and encourage dialogue around key industry issues, such as sustainability and reactions against tourism, British market trends, the extension of the tourist season and the optimal use of joint advertising programs.
320 flights to 14 Greek airports each week
The Jet2 group has established itself in the British market as a reliable choice for offering flight work and holiday packages, offering services directly to its wide clientele, but also through partnerships with well-known Online Travel Agencies (loveholidays, On the beach, Expedia, etc.) and specialized smaller t.os.
Every year, it transports hundreds of thousands of British travelers to Greek islands and mainland destinations in Greece, operating a total of 320 weekly flights to 14 Greek airports (Athens, Corfu, Chania, Heraklion, Kefalonia, Thessaloniki, Kos, Kalamata, Lesvos, Preveza, Rhodes, Skiathos, Santorini and Zakynthos).
At the same time, it offers over 1,500 hotels in 22 Greek destinations, of which 125 are new accommodations for the summer of 2025.
