A UK airline has expanded its number of flights to a sunny holiday destination from Stansted Airport from early July.

Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, a well-known airline and tour operator, will be offering more flights from Stansted Airport to Kos, Greece.

A new weekly service will be added on Thursdays from July 3 until September 25 due to a demand from its customers and independent travel agents.

According to a spokesman, the airline and tour operator have “added thousands more seats” and it will operate “daily services” to Kos during the summer.

The island of Kos is part of Greece's Dodecanese group, a collection of islands in the south-eastern section of the Aegean Sea.

Ciaran Brannigan, commercial director at Stansted Airport, said: "We’re delighted to see Jet2.com and Jet2holidays expanding their Greek programme from London Stansted for Summer 25.

“Greece continues to be a hugely popular destination for our passengers, and these additional services to Kos will provide even more choice, value and flexibility for those looking to enjoy a sunshine getaway.

“We look forward to continuing our successful partnership with Jet2.com and Jet2holidays and welcoming even more holidaymakers through our doors this summer." 

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: “The continued appeal of Kos as a summer destination means we are adding even more choice for customers and independent travel agents.

“As a leading airline and the UK’s largest tour operator, we know just how much holidaymakers love this Greek destination as a means of soaking up some summer sun.

“We are delighted to be once again stepping in to meet the strong demand.

“Summer 25 will be our biggest ever summer programme to Greece from London Stansted Airport and our unrivalled programme is proving to be incredibly popular with customers and independent travel agents.”
