Jet2 Adds 32,000 Seats to Tunisia Flights and Extends Operations into Winter 2028 from Five UK Airports

The British travel group expands its Tunisia programme in response to strong early booking demand, adding nine weeks of flights to support tourism beyond the traditional summer season.

British travel group Jet2 has announced the addition of more than 32,000 seats to its Tunisia flight programme, extending operations until the end of November 2027 before resuming services in February 2028.

The expansion responds to strong early booking demand and strengthens air connectivity between the United Kingdom and Tunisia’s tourism destinations beyond the traditional summer season.

Announced on October 15, 2026, the expansion follows the launch of Jet2’s Summer 2027 Tunisia programme in June, offering flights and package holidays through its tour operator, Jet2holidays.

The programme includes flights to Enfidha–Hammamet International Airport from Birmingham, East Midlands, Leeds Bradford, Manchester and London Stansted.

According to the announced schedule, services will continue until November 30, 2027, before resuming from February 11, 2028, depending on the departure airport, adding nine weeks to the operating season.

Flight frequencies will range from one to two weekly services per airport, with additional seats available for booking through Jet2 and Jet2holidays.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2, said strong early demand from customers and travel agents had encouraged the company to extend its Tunisia programme, providing travellers with more holiday options during autumn and winter.

Jet2holidays offers packages to several Tunisian destinations, including Hammamet, Yasmine Hammamet, Sousse, Monastir, Mahdia and Port El Kantaoui, combining flights with hotel accommodation.

Extending the operating season offers Tunisian hotels an opportunity to attract British visitors beyond the summer peak, particularly in coastal resorts.

However, the additional seats represent capacity offered for sale rather than confirmed passenger numbers. Their actual impact on hotel occupancy and tourism revenues will depend on bookings and flight load factors.
