Airport officials described the 10-year deal as a 'major coup'. Jet2 will initially base one Boeing 757 aircraft at the East Midlands, making nine flights each week to seven destinations, with further investment and growth planned over the next 3 years.
East Midland's managing director, Penny Coates, said: ‘We've been talking to Jet2 for some time. They have some great destinations and are a really good brand. This is a positive indicator for the future, and puts East Midlands Airport in a strong position as we continue to expand and develop our route network.’
