4th November 2019: Jet2.com and Jet2holidays has once again responded to the extra demand from Northern Ireland holidaymakers by adding even more seats and holidays for Summer 20 in the Canary Islands from Belfast International Airport.

The leading leisure airline and package holiday specialist has demonstrated its commitment to the base by adding 10,000 departing seats to Tenerife and almost 10,000 departing seats to Lanzarote.

This latest expansion means the UK’s leading tour operator to the Canaries has almost130,000 seats on sale to the Canary Islands from Belfast International Airport in Summer 20, an increase of 33% on Summer 19. With 11 weekly flights to the Canary Islands, it means holidaymakers can enjoy more flexibility around how long they choose to holiday for – a move which Jet2holidays pioneered ten years ago so that customers could choose holidays of any length to suit their budgets and needs.
