Jet2.com and Jet2holidays are making headlines with plans to explore mid-haul routes and discussions about the potential reopening of Doncaster Sheffield Airport (DSA). CEO Steve Heapy shared insights during the recent Jet2holidays conference in Paphos, hinting at exciting developments for travelers.
Doncaster Sheffield Airport Reopening: A New Opportunity
Jet2 has confirmed it will meet with officials working to reopen DSA, which has been identified as a potential opportunity for the airline. Doncaster Council recently announced a preferred bidder to operate the airport, targeting Spring 2026 for the resumption of commercial flights.
Heapy expressed optimism about the airport’s future:
“I really do hope for the region that Doncaster works. There have been various attempts to create a viable business there, and it’s not really worked. But with new funding and a capable operator, there’s a chance to make it succeed.”
While Heapy emphasized that discussions alone don’t guarantee Jet2’s involvement, the airline’s commitment to exploring opportunities is clear.

Mid-Haul Routes: Cape Verde and Egypt in the Spotlight
Jet2 is also evaluating potential mid-haul destinations, including Cape Verde and Egypt. These locations, already served by other operators, could expand Jet2’s network. However, logistical challenges, such as pilot hour restrictions, must be addressed.

Jet2’s aircraft are capable of reaching these destinations, and the airline has successfully added new routes like Morocco, Pula, and Porto. Heapy noted:
“We’ve got a list of destinations we’re looking at seriously. There’s a lot to consider, but you’ll see more destinations coming over the next few months.”

Building on Success: New Bases and Capacity Growth
While Jet2 considers new routes, the priority remains increasing capacity to existing destinations and strengthening its newest bases:
- Liverpool: Operational since earlier this year.
- Bournemouth: Launching February 2025.
- Luton: Launching April 2025.
Heapy highlighted the strategic importance of these additions, which complement Jet2’s extensive short-haul network.
