Newcastle to Corfu and Rhodes from Jet2.com

Jet2.com is to start two new routes to the sun this summer, linking up Newcastle Airport with the holiday destinations of Corfu and Rhodes.

Tickets to the Greek islands are on sale from today (April 21), with one-way fares starting from £69.99 and the first flights to Rhodes start on June 4 and to Corfu on June 30.

Jet2.com’s Philip Meeson said: "The announcement of our new services to Corfu and Rhodes is fantastic news for the North East. Both destinations have lacked direct, scheduled and, importantly, low cost services from Newcastle and we’re delighted to be launching them today.

"Both are stunningly beautiful islands, hugely popular with holidaymakers from the UK and we expect a huge influx of travellers on our flights and package holiday deals– from families and couples after the captivating culture of the islands, to the thousands of young people looking to sample the summer party spirit."

Jet2.com offers flights from several UK airports including Leeds Bradford, Manchester, Edinburgh and Belfast.
