Biggest EVER Expansion for Jet2.com and Jet2holidays | Jet2.com
Today, 1 week after the first news, Jet2 have
publicly announced their Biggest EVER expansion programme. The report outlines that only 1 737-800 will be based up there (bringing the total number of aircraft based to 5) - and a busy 738 it will be! The report also outlines that 500,000 seats are on sale for S16, bringing an additional 150,000 passengers through EDI's doors - an increase of 55%. This brings the total available routes Jet2 offer from Edinburgh to 26. It says that over 150 new jobs will be created at the Scottish hub, and that this is the biggest expansion Edinburgh Airport has ever seen since it became a private company.
A Quote taken from EDI's CEO:
"Excitingly we’ll see the introduction of the first service between Edinburgh and Vienna which is a particularly important destination for us to serve. Not only will it offer leisure travellers great choice for city breaks, it opens up further trade and business links between Scotland and this major European hub."
