This summer, Leeds based low-cost carrier, Jet2.com is going to begin its services on two new routes to the sun, providing a direct link between Newcastle Airport and the holiday destinations of Rhodes and Corfu.

The first flights to Rhodes will depart on the 4th of June while flights to Corfu will start on 30th of June.
Philip Meeson of Jet2.com said, "The announcement of our new services to Corfu and Rhodes is fantastic news for the North East. Both destinations have lacked direct, scheduled and, importantly, low cost services from Newcastle and we're delighted to be launching them today.
Both are stunningly beautiful islands, hugely popular with holidaymakers from the UK and we expect a huge influx of travellers on our flights and package holiday deals- from families and couples after the captivating culture of the islands, to the thousands of young people looking to sample the summer party spirit".
