STANSTED Airport's latest carrier has already made plans to increase its capacity from the airport by a third.

Jet2.com and Jet2holidays launched its first flights from the airport in April but has now announced its summer 2018 programme, which includes 1million seats to 30 different destinations.

New destinations include Bodrum in Turkey, Halkidiki in Greece and Verona is Italy.

Andrew Cowan, Stansted Airport CEO, said: “Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have already proved to be incredibly popular since launching from London Stansted for the first time last month.

"Their latest announcement about a significant increase in services for Summer 18 is fantastic news for Stansted and a clear demonstration of the strength of demand that exists for passengers from right across the East of England and London to fly to these exciting destinations from their local airport.”
