Jet2 has announced London-Luton Airport as its newest base, with flights set to begin in the summer of 2025. This move will bring two new Airbus A321neo aircraft to the North London airport, creating numerous job opportunities in various sectors. The airline's inaugural season at London-Luton will offer flights to 17 destinations in Europe, the Canary Islands, and the Mediterranean.

"We are very excited to announce London Luton Airport as our 13th UK base airport today, further expanding our footprint and bringing our award-winning holidays and flights to even more customers," stated Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2 and Jet2holidays.

Jet2's expansion to London-Luton Airport signifies a major investment in the region, as noted by Alberto Martin, Chief Executive at the airport. The move is expected to boost the local economy, create job opportunities, and provide an array of new travel options for passengers.

The airline's decision to establish a base at London-Luton follows a series of expansions in the south of England, including operations at Bristol, Bournemouth, and Liverpool airports. With Jet2's current fleet of 123 aircraft, the airline is set to retire its Boeing 757s and introduce new A321neos in the coming years.

London-Luton Airport, the UK's fifth busiest airport, saw over 16.4 million passengers in 2023. The airport's consortium, led by AENA and InfraBridge, is geared up for continued growth and enhanced passenger experiences.

With a strong focus on customer service and expanding their network, Jet2's arrival at London-Luton Airport is set to cater to the diverse travel needs of passengers across the region. Stay tuned for exciting new routes and travel opportunities as Jet2 takes flight from this bustling airport hub in 2025.
