DALLAS — Bradford-based British LCC Jet2 (LS) has announced that starting from April 1, 2025, the airline will fly from London Luton Airport (LTN) to 17 European and Mediterranean holiday destinations for the Summer 2025 season. 

The first Luton-based flight will be to Majorca (PMI), departing on the launch date. 

LTN will become Jet2’s 13th UK Airport base, and the move will add 430,000 seats for sale through the 36 weekly flights. LS will base two of its new Airbus A321neo aircraft at Luton Airport, the first of which was delivered to the airline in May 2023. Over 125 new jobs, including Cabin Crew, Ground Staff, Pilots, and Engineers, will be directly created due to the expansion. Jet2 already operates flights out of London Stansted Airport (STN), where the airline has 16 aircraft based.
