Jet2.com and Jet2holidays add Bergerac to Summer 18 Manchester programme

Jet2.com and Jet2holidays has added weekly flights to Bergerac from Manchester Airport for Summer 18, meaning the company will now fly to the airport from two of its UK bases (Leeds Bradford and Manchester).

The introduction of the new route, which commences on May 26th 2018, means that the company will operate to 43 destinations, including three in France, during Summer 18 from Manchester Airport. It comes just weeks after Jet2.com and Jet2holidays announced its biggest ever summer flights and holidays programme from Manchester Airport for Summer 18, with over 2.2 million seats and thousands of 2-5 star hotels on sale, as well as the addition of an Airbus A330 to support its growth.

The addition of flights to Bergerac every Saturday morning adds even more choice for local holidaymakers, providing direct access to the Dordogne region in south-west France. It also provides great access from Bergerac to one of England’s most thriving Northern cities, famed for its art, culture, industry and shopping. This is in addition to weekly Saturday flights that the company already operates between the airport and its Leeds Bradford base.

With the addition of Bergerac, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays will fly to three French destinations from Manchester in Summer 18, including five weekly flights to Nice, opening up the French Riviera, and two weekly flights to Toulouse, otherwise known as La Ville Rose’ (the pink city) because of its stunning pink terracotta architecture.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: “The addition of Bergerac to our Summer 18 programme gives local holidaymakers even more choice from Manchester Airport with 43 sun and city destinations now on sale. We are delighted to be giving direct access to the famous Dordogne region and I am confident that the appeal of this stunning destination, in addition to our award-winning service, will make the route extremely popular.”

Emily James, Head of Marketing and Route Development added; ‘We here at Bergerac are ecstatic about Jet2.com’s decision to open this much-requested route between the Dordogne and Manchester. Jet2.com are an amazing airline to work with great ethics and a natural flair for customer relations. The fact that they won the BEST AIRLINE in the inaugural Travellers’ Choice awards for Airlines in the Best Low-Cost-Airline-Europe category organised by the very influential Tripadvisor group, is only more proof!’
