Jet2 axes Manchester to La Palma route after six months

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 12:30 · Archive

Jet2 has ended all flights and holiday bookings to La Palma in the Canary Islands, six months after launching the Manchester route.

Jet2 has cancelled all flights and holiday bookings to La Palma in the Canary Islands. The Manchester to La Palma route, which launched six months ago, will cease on 30 October following a review of the airline's services.

Jet2 was one of only two airlines offering direct flights from Manchester to La Palma, operating twice-weekly services on Mondays and Fridays. The airline had also planned to launch flights to La Palma from London Stansted, but will not now proceed with this.

Customers with bookings after 30 October will be contacted and offered either a full refund or the option to rebook to another destination. A Jet2 spokesman said the airline continually reviews its programme in response to customer demand and occasionally withdraws routes. He apologised to affected customers and said the airline offered 'superb choice' for rebooking holidays to other destinations.

TUI also offered seasonal direct flights from Manchester to La Palma but does not appear to have services available after October. TUI continues to operate weekly flights from London Gatwick to La Palma.
