Jet2.com and Jet2holidays are already expanding their biggest ever summer 2016 programme with the launch today of their brand NEW destination from Newcastle Airport, Girona (Costa Brava).

The addition of this popular summer holiday getaway means people in the North East now have even more Spanish hotspots to choose from for their sunshine break next year, and 35 destinations overall.

With Girona, holidaymakers can take their pick from some of the most popular holiday resorts on the Costa Brava including Lloret de Mar and Tossa de Mar. Flights begin operating in May 2016.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: “We promised next summer is going to be our biggest one yet. We’re now making it even bigger with the launch of this popular Costa Brava destination from Newcastle Airport. Our Spanish routes are some of the most popular so we’re thrilled to be further expanding these with Girona, giving our customers even more new and exciting places to visit.

“This new addition shows our ongoing commitment in giving people the best choice of holiday spots direct from their local airport. I’m confident it will be extremely popular for us next year and beyond.”

David Laws, Chief Executive at Newcastle International Airport said: “Spain is a very popular destination from the North East. I am sure holidaymakers will welcome this new Jet2.com and Jet2holidays service, making it much easier to get from Newcastle to rest and relax on the golden Costa Brava beaches next summer.”
