Meanwhile, flights to Kalamata in southern Greece are slated to start operating just three days later on May 6, 2024.

One-way fares from the UK start from £106, with flights departing Edinburgh at 2.15pm and landing in Greece at 8.30pm.

Following the announcement, Jet2 boss Steve Heapy said: “Customers are telling us they want to book ahead and secure that all-important holiday to Greece, so we have responded to that demand by putting our biggest ever Greek Summer programme on sale for 2026, earlier than anyone else and earlier than ever before.  

“This Summer 26 programme represents a huge expansion with more seats and routes on sale to Greece, including 110 routes and six new routes.”

In total, 22 brand-new summer routes are scattered throughout the summer 2026 schedule, with Newcastle Airport seeing five new flights.

Dubbed the “best airport” in the UK, Newcastle Airport will now serve 57 destinations thanks to the new Jet2 routes.

Travellers heading to Newcastle Airport will now be able to head off to Agadir and Marrakech in Morocco, Preveza in Greece and the twin Iberian hotspots of Barcelona and Porto.
