JET2 is cutting two routes from East Midlands from its summer programme.
The airline will no longer fly to a beach region in Spain and a popular Croatian city on the Dalmatian Coast.
Jet2 has confirmed it is scrapping two routes from East Midlands Airport – to Costa de Almería and Split.
Jet2 said: “As a successful business, we are constantly reviewing our flying programme in response to demand. While this gives us the ability to add more award-winning flights and holidays, we may also very occasionally withdraw flights.
“Following a recent review of our flying programme from East Midlands Airport, we are making some adjustments and have taken the decision to withdraw services to Costa de Almería and Split for summer 2026.”
The route between the airport and Costa de Almería had been in operation for over five years.
The region in Spain is known for being less touristy than the likes of the Costa del Sol and Costa Brava.
The region has wild beaches, desert-like landscapes and even mountains.
One popular spot is Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park which is known for its beautiful golden beaches and coves.
For anyone who still wants to explore Costa de Almería, easyJet still flies to Almería from Liverpool, London Gatwick and Bristol.
The other axed route is to Split which is the second-largest city of Croatia after the capital Zagreb.
Popular spots include the Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site featuring the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, and the Riva promenade.
The best beaches in Split include Bačvice Beach for its proximity and sandy shore, Kasjuni Beach for its clear waters and upscale amenities, and Žnjan Beach for its popularity and family-friendly atmosphere.
During summer 2026, there will be direct flights to Split operated by Wizz Air, easyJet and British Airways from London airports, Bristol and Manchester.
The airline has also pushed back its East Midlands to Agadir service until next winter.
The journey will commence in winter 2026 with the first flight departing on October 15 – one-way flights as little as £76.
At the moment, flights are scheduled up until March 18, 2027.
Jet2 is also restarting flights to a Brit-loved holiday destination for the first time in more than a decade.
It will start flights to two destinations in Egypt, after scrapping routes back in 2011.
The Egyptian Cabinet Presidency has reported that there will be seven weekly flights to both Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada with Jet2 from 2027.
Plus, Jet2 will launch first ever flights from major UK airport with 29 new ‘sunshine’ routes.
And hear from one man who visits Spain at least 8 times a year – how to avoid the common tourist mistakes that cost you money.
