Exclusive Spanish route launches from Birmingham Airport following ‘strong demand’

A new Spanish route is launching from Birmingham Airport following “strong demand” from holidaymakers.

Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have added an exclusive route to Jerez Airport in the Costa de la Luz region from next summer.

The tour operator is also launching holidays to the Costa de la Luz via Faro Airport from Birmingham Airport in 2025.

Flights are on sale now with weekly Friday services operation from 2 May to 31 October 2025.

The Costa de la Luz, also known as the ‘Coast of Light’, is located on the south-western coast of Spain, making it a popular choice for a sun-kissed holiday.

In addition to reaching the Costa de la Luz by flying into Jerez, holidaymakers can also access four different resorts across the region via Faro Airport throughout Summer 2025.

Tom Screen, aviation director at Birmingham Airport, said: “This brand-new and exclusive direct route to Jerez from Birmingham Airport will be music to the ears of those wishing to experience the beauty of southern Spain's Andalusia region. 

“Jerez, known for its amazing wine, horses, and flamenco, will now be ever more accessible for those in the West Midlands region and beyond.

 “We are also thrilled to see the launch of holidays to Costa de la Luz from Birmingham, and we’re sure that our customers will be too, as they look forward to their next escape to the beach in summer 2025.”

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be giving customers and independent travel agents the chance to discover an authentic slice of Spain thanks to the launch of Costa de la Luz as a brand-new destination for Summer 25 from Birmingham Airport.

“As a result of this launch, customers can reach this stunning region and Spain’s best beaches from Jerez Airport, which becomes our newest Spanish Airport, as well as from Faro Airport too. We are incredibly excited about this new destination, and we are confident that it will prove extremely popular with our customers.

“This latest expansion comes on the back of strong demand from customers and independent travel agents looking to book with us time and time again on our award-winning flights and holidays out of Birmingham Airport.

“Thanks to the launch of this brand-new destination, we look forward to welcoming even more holidaymakers onboard and showcasing all the reasons why we continue to delight customers.”
