Jet2 expands Tunisia programme from Birmingham in response to strong customer demand from early bookers
Jet2 has today announced the expansion of its programme to Tunisia from Birmingham Airport, with additional seats going on sale in response to strong demand from early bookers for holidays in the early and late-winter season to the recently launched destination.
Following the successful introduction of flights and holidays to, Tunisia for Summer 2027, the award-winning airline and UK’s largest tour operator has moved to operate longer seasons beyond summer, giving customers and independent travel agents across the Midlands even more opportunities to enjoy the North African sunshine hotspot.
The extended programme means flights from Birmingham Airport to Enfidha-Hammamet International Airport will continue beyond the end of the Summer 2027 season, operating right through to 27th November 2027, before resuming from 12th February 2028 and operating throughout Summer 28. Services will operate a twice-weekly service (Wednesdays and Saturdays), providing customers with plenty of choice and flexibility when booking a winter sunshine getaway. Previously, flights had been scheduled to operate until 30th October 2027.
As a result of the expansion, holidaymakers across the Midlands now have even more choice when it comes to escaping the colder months and enjoying some winter sun. It also gives families more opportunities to enjoy Tunisia during popular school holiday periods, including the October and February half-term breaks.
Since announcing the new destination back in June, holidays to Tunisia have proven extremely popular with customers looking to experience the destination's golden beaches, year-round sunshine, rich culture and fascinating history. Tunisia offers holidaymakers the chance to explore ancient Roman ruins, bustling medinas and spectacular desert scenery. Customers can choose from a range of popular resorts including Hammamet, Yasmine Hammamet, Port el Kantaoui, Sousse, Skanes and Mahdia, each offering their own mix of authentic charm and beautiful coastline views.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2, said: "The response to the launch of Tunisia for Summer 2027 has been fantastic. With plenty of demand from customers and independent travel agents looking to book early and looking to book Tunisia for some winter sunshine, we are delighted to be extending our programme from Birmingham Airport."
"This expansion gives customers across the Midlands even more opportunities to enjoy everything that Tunisia has to offer, whilst enjoying our industry-leading customer service. We know there is enormous appetite for this destination, and we are pleased to be responding by offering customers greater choice and flexibility when planning their holidays."
Matthew Hazelwood, Chief Commercial Officer at Birmingham Airport, said: "We are thrilled to be working with Jet2 to extend this programme, giving even more families and holidaymakers the opportunity to enjoy everything Tunisia has to offer throughout the winter months. It is encouraging to see the destination thriving as a popular winter sun hotspot among our customers.
“The additional flights provide a great opportunity for families to enjoy a well-earned break during the school half-term holidays, with excellent value on offer. We look forward to helping passengers begin their journey and enjoy a memorable getaway to this stunning destination."
