Jet2 Launches New Flights to Jersey from Birmingham and Bristol for Summer 2027
Crystal Travel | Travel News | 9 May 2026
Jet2 opens up Jersey to more of the UK with new routes, more flights, and a season that runs deeper into autumn than ever before.
Jet2 Expands Flights for Summer
Jet2 has announced a major expansion of its Jersey programme for Summer 2027, introducing brand-new direct flights from Birmingham and Bristol, boosting capacity from Manchester, and extending the summer season right through to the end of October. For British holidaymakers, it means more choice, better connectivity, and a longer window to visit one of the UK's most loved island destinations.
Brand-New Direct Routes from Birmingham and Bristol
For the first time, Jet2 will fly direct to Jersey from both Birmingham and Bristol airports. This is a significant development for travellers across the Midlands and the South West, who previously had limited direct options when it came to reaching the Channel Islands. Both routes will operate on a multiple-times-weekly basis throughout the summer season, giving customers a healthy range of departure days to choose from when planning their trip.
More Manchester Flights and an Extended Season into October
It is not just new routes making the headlines. Jet2 has also confirmed additional capacity from Manchester Airport, with more weekly services added to meet growing demand from the North West. Importantly, the Manchester route will now run later into the year than before, with the season extended through to the end of October. That gives North West travellers more opportunity to take advantage of quieter, often more affordable late-summer and early-autumn breaks.
Jersey Now Reachable from Six UK Airports
With Birmingham and Bristol joining the network, Jet2 will serve Jersey from six UK airports for Summer 2027, adding to its existing services from East Midlands, Leeds Bradford, Manchester, and Newcastle. The overall capacity compared to last summer is substantially higher, with significantly more seats available and more weekly flights at peak periods. It is a clear sign that demand for Jersey holidays is growing, and that Jet2 is backing the destination in a meaningful way.
Why Jersey Is the Perfect Island Escape
Why Jersey Is Worth the Journey
Jersey is one of those rare destinations that manages to feel both familiar and genuinely special. Sitting just a short flight from the UK mainland, the island offers wide sandy beaches, clear blue waters, historic castles, and a food scene that punches well above its weight. It is compact enough to explore easily over a long weekend, yet diverse enough to reward a full week away. Whether you are travelling as a couple, a family, or a group of friends, there is something for everyone.
Jet2 will be offering holiday packages across a range of accommodation styles and price points, spread across some of the island's most popular areas, including St Helier, St Brelade's Bay, and St Aubin.

With new routes, more flights, and an extended season now confirmed, Summer 2027 is shaping up to be a great year to visit Jersey. Early availability on new routes tends to go quickly, particularly around peak summer dates, so it is worth planning.
