Jet2 Egypt: Airline launches new flights to Hurghada and Sharm-El-Sheikh from UK airports including Birmingham, Stansted and Manchester
Jet2 has announced new flights to two popular destinations in Egypt from UK airports.
From February 2027, the award-winning tour operator and airline will operate year-round to two hugely popular sunshine destinations in Egypt – Hurghada and Sharm-El-Sheikh – a move that will be warmly welcomed by holidaymakers. To mark this exciting news, Jet2 has also unveiled details of a special launch promotion on all Jet2holidays to Egypt, offering £100 off per person on all holidays on sale to Egypt.
This means that as well as being able to experience all that the destination has to offer with the award-winning tour operator, holidaymakers can also enjoy a getaway to the sunshine favourite for much less. Jet2 will operate to Hurghada from six UK airports: Birmingham, East Midlands, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, London Stansted and Manchester.
It will operate to Sharm-El-Sheikh from Birmingham, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Leeds Bradford,London Stansted and Manchester. This means there will be 18 weekly flights on sale and over 4,000 arriving seats per week.
Four of these routes are exclusive to Jet2 - Leeds Bradford to Hurghada, London Stansted to Hurghada, Edinburgh to Sharm-El-Sheikh and Leeds Bradford to Sharm-El-Sheikh. It comes in response to years of demand from customers looking to book award-winning holidays to Egypt, where holidaymakers can enjoy year-round sunshine and beautiful beaches.
Located on Africa’s north-eastern corner, beyond Egypt’s fascinating ancient history and luxury resorts, holidaymakers will find golden beaches along the Red Sea, ideal for snorkelling or simply soaking up those rays. Egyptian hospitality is also second to none, with friendly locals and delicious cuisine waiting at every turn. Whether it is culture, relaxation, or a bit of both, an Egypt getaway promises warmth, wonder and endless holiday memories.
