Jet2.com has opened an operational base at Tenerife South Airport which it hopes will expand its flight programme to the Canary Islands this winter.
The airline has added over 200,000 departing seats from across nine of its UK bases this winter, in direct response to huge demand from British holidaymakers wanting to visit Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria.
To support this expanded Canary Islands operation, the airline has now opened an operational base at Tenerife South Airport, which it says will enable the airline to have a spare aircraft and replacement crew on permanent standby.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: “We are the UK’s leading operator to the Canary Islands, and we continue to demonstrate our confidence and commitment by adding more flights and holidays to the Islands.
"The opening of this operational base at Tenerife South Airport underlines our commitment to the Canary Islands and will play a key role in supporting our expansion, whilst also ensuring that we continue to deliver our award-winning customer experience.”
