Jet2’s first flight to Izmir departed East Midlands Airport on the 3rd of May, marking the launch of a brand-new route for Summer 22 from the base.
The airline is operating weekly Tuesday services to the Turkish city from East Midlands Airport this summer from 3rd May until 1st November.
The start of services to this popular sunshine destination comes in response to strong demand from local customers and independent travel agents, said the airline in a statement.
