Jet2 has announced the launch of their fifth Canary Islands destination, with brand-new flights and holidays to La Palma going on sale.
As a result of last week’s announcement, the UK’s largest tour operator is offering direct flights to La Palma from London Stansted Airport and Manchester Airport. La Palma is an exclusive destination to Jet2 from London Stansted Airport.
The brand-new flying programme means two weekly services (Monday and Friday) will be on sale year-round from Manchester Airport to La Palma, commencing from 3rd April 2026.
Exclusive services will be available from London Stansted Airport, with two weekly services (Monday and Friday) operating from 26th October 2026.
The addition of La Palma means that Jet2 will operate to five Canary Islands destinations from Summer 2026 which comes on the back of continued demand from UK holidaymakers looking to enjoy the year-round sunshine.
As well as going on sale with flights to La Palma, Jet2 has also launched a range of hotels located across the island. A selection of 2-4 star hotels are now available to book across stunning resorts including – Los Cancajos, Puerto Naos and Tazacorte.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2 and Jet2holidays, said: “The launch of La Palma gives holidaymakers and independent travel agents the chance to enjoy everything this incredible island has to offer. We are delighted to be expanding our presence across the Canary Islands from London Stansted and Manchester Airports by adding this brand-new gateway to our portfolio, appealing to holidaymakers looking to explore the island’s natural beauty. Offering customers and independent travel agents even more choice, we are also pleased to be adding a selection of hotels across scenic resorts, available to book now.”
He added: “After experiencing consistent demand from holidaymakers wanting to escape to the Canary Islands throughout the year, we are confident that these new flights and holidays will prove popular with customers looking for an adventure style holiday, paired with knockout scenery. We are already looking forward to taking customers to La Palma for the first time on their well-deserved holidays from April 2026 and beyond.”
Raquel Rebollo, Minister of Tourism of the Cabildo of La Palma, said: “The UK market is one of our priorities to open and attract to La Palma and we are delighted to have achieved this, thanks to great collaboration and hard work with Jet2 and other institutions. One of the main goals of this administration is to open new doors and tap into new markets, such as the UK, and this announcement just shows how much potential there is to grow tourism on our island.”
