On 9th April 2003, the first Jet2.com flight landed in Majorca (Palma) from Leeds Bradford Airport and over two decades later the leading leisure airline is celebrating 20 years of operating award-winning flights to Majorca (Palma).

Since 2003, when Jet2.com operated just one route to Majorca (Palma), the company has enjoyed tremendous growth, both through Jet2.com and tour operator Jet2holidays, with nine million customers having travelled to the destination.

Today, the companies operate to Majorca (Palma) from all ten of their UK bases (Belfast International, Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, East Midlands, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Manchester, Newcastle International and London Stansted) with ten routes on sale, and over 1.3 million seats on sale this summer.

In addition, Jet2holidays has over 300 hotels and more than 180 villas on sale in Majorca, as well as a team of over 400 colleagues employed for Summer 23.

This coming summer represents Jet2.com and Jet2holidays’ biggest ever summer programme to Majorca, with up to 146 weekly flights arriving from the UK during peak periods. This offers customers and independent travel agents unrivalled choice and flexibility when it comes to booking and travelling on award-winning flights and ATOL package holidays to Majorca (Palma) this summer. As well as flights with Jet2.com and package holidays with Jet2holidays, customers can travel on Jet2CityBreaks packages to Palma.

On top of operating to Majorca (Palma), Jet2.com and Jet2holidays is also operating award-winning flights and package holidays to Ibiza and Menorca for Summer 23 from all ten of their UK bases.

As well as booking and travelling on award-winning flights and ATOL protected package holidays to Majorca (Palma), customers can experience and enjoy the company’s VIP customer service which has seen Jet2.com and Jet2holidays win high-profile accolades, such as Which? Recommended Provider and TripAdvisor’s Best Airline – UK and Top 10 Airlines of the World.

This VIP customer service includes friendly low fares, great flight times and a generous 22kg baggage (plus 10kg hand baggage) allowance through a flight-only booking with Jet2.com. Holidaymakers booking through the UK’s largest tour operator, Jet2holidays, receive that very same VIP customer service and flights through Jet2.com, as well as in-resort Customer Helpers, 24/7 customer helpline, transfers, free child places and ATOL protection, all for a low £60 per person booking deposit.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: “This year marks 20 years since we started operating to Majorca, when we had just one route on sale. Today, we operate an enormous programme with unrivalled frequency to Majorca from the UK, and we have flown millions of customers to this magnificent destination. Such growth and success over the last two decades would not be possible without the fantastic partnerships we have in Majorca, and I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to hoteliers, airports, tourist boards and all our partners. As we continue to grow and take more customers to Majorca on our award-winning flights and holidays, we will continue to put that partnership approach at the very heart of everything that we do and bring even more happy holidaymakers to the destination.”

Mallorca Tourism Minister Mr. Andreu Serra added: “We congratulate Jet2.com on 20 years of flying to Majorca, as a key partner in the success of British tourism to the island. We look forward to many more years of collaboration.”
