A West Yorkshire-based leisure airline and package holidays business is set to expand its operations from Leeds-Bradford Airport next year with the launch of new services.

Jet2 and Jet2holidays will launch three new destinations for summer 2015: Antalya in Turkey, Malta and the Greek Island of Kefalonia – the first service from Yorkshire to the destination.

Jet2 will operate twice weekly flights to Antalya and weekly flights to Kefalonia and Malta from next May.

More than 35,000 extra seats will be available to the trio of resorts. In total Jet2 will offer 1.3 million seats from its base at Leeds-Bradford from where it will operate 48 routes from 2015.

Flights to Antalya will operate on Mondays and Thursdays, to Kefalonia on Wednesdays and Malta on Saturdays.
