Flights will operate weekly until 7th October 2027.

The route is one of two new and exclusive destinations being introduced by Jet2 from Leeds Bradford Airport for Summer 2027, alongside Preveza on Greece’s west coast.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2, said:

"With two stunning, brand-new routes being announced today, our Summer 2027 programme gives holidaymakers exactly what they want – more choice and flexibility.

"We look forward to taking customers on their well-deserved holidays and showcasing our award-winning customer service to them as they head off to these new destinations.”

Declan Maguire, Aviation Director at Leeds Bradford Airport, added:

Expanding our route network with Jet2 to include Preveza and Santorini for Summer 2027 gives Yorkshire even more choice when planning the perfect getaway.

:From the scenic coastline of Preveza to the iconic appeal of Santorini, these additions bring something new and exciting to Leeds Bradford Airport’s portfolio.

"Variety really is the spice of life, and this network development is all about giving Yorkshire greater choice, flexibility and inspiration for their next trip.”
