Jet2 Will Launch Tunisia Flights From 5 UK Airports

Airline Jet2 will run flights to Tunisia in North Africa starting next year, their site reads.

The destination, with 1,000+ kilometres of sandy Mediterranean beaches and historic ruins, is perfect for Bond fans, beach lovers, and history buffs alike.

Even those who don’t usually go in for historical tours will want to see its UNESCO World Heritage Site, Carthage, founded in 9BC.

Jet2 said they introduced the new rules because of “demand from customers and independent travel agents.”

It will mean people “have plenty of choice when it comes to taking off to a sun-soaked destination that offers culture, cuisine, history, beaches and fantastic value for money,” they added.

Here’s when and where new UK routes will come:

They’ll start in summer, 2027.

Some routes will begin on May 1, 2027, while others will start on May 2 and May 7.

They’ll fly to Enfidha–Hammamet International Airport in Tunisia.

1. Birmingham Airport – every Wednesday and Saturday from 1 May 2027 to 30 October 2027.
2. East Midlands Airport – every Saturday from 1 May 2027 to 30 October 2027.
3. Leeds Bradford Airport – every Saturday from 1 May 2027 to 30 October 2027.
4. Manchester Airport – every Tuesday and Friday from 7 May 2027 to 29 October 2027.
5. London Stansted Airport – every Wednesday and Sunday from 2 May 2027 to 31 October.

Fakhri Khalisi, acting UK director at the Tunisian National Tourist Office, said in response to the new routes: “We are delighted to welcome the launch of Jet2’s holiday and flight programmes to Tunisia starting in summer 2027.

“This announcement represents a significant milestone in our efforts to strengthen Tunisia’s position as a leading Mediterranean destination and reflects the growing confidence of major travel operators in our tourism offering.”

Tunisia saw a record-breaking number of UK tourists last year.

They have also had a 119% increase in visitiors from British and Northern Irish shores since 2019, Travel Weekly reported.
