JET2HOLIDAYS has announced a new destination for passengers flying out of Bournemouth after ‘strong demand’ from holidaymakers.

The package holiday company will offer trips to the Costa de la Luz region of Spain, via Faro Airport, throughout summer 2025.

Jet2 was already offering flights to Faro from the airport but has added the new packages to the Spanish coast, a short drive across the Spain-Portugal border from the Algarve airport.

The packages will be on offer from early May to the end of October in 2025.

Since announcing its launch from Bournemouth Airport in March, the airline and holiday company said it had had ‘strong demand’ for its flights and packages.

The Costa de la Luz packages will allow holidaymakers to choose from hotels in the four resorts of Punta Umbria, Isla Canela, Isla Cristina and El Rompido.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be giving customers and independent travel agents the chance to discover an authentic slice of Spain thanks to the launch of Costa de la Luz as a brand-new destination from Bournemouth Airport for summer 25. As a result of this launch, customers can easily reach this stunning region and Spain’s best beaches via Faro Airport.”

He added: “This expansion comes on the back of fantastic demand from customers and independent travel agents looking to experience all the qualities that make us an award-winning airline and tour operator. Thanks to the launch of this brand-new destination, we look forward to welcoming even more holidaymakers onboard from our newest base, and showcasing all the reasons why we delight customers.”

Steve Gill, managing director of Bournemouth Airport, said: "This is another great new addition to our summer 2025 schedule and means holidaymakers have even more choice when booking their summer break in Spain with Jet2holidays from Bournemouth Airport."
