Steve Heapy, Chief Executive Officer, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: “This is by far our biggest winter programme to date.
"The number of North East people jetting away for some much-needed winter sunshine means we are seeing spectacular growth, and we now have over 130,000 winter sun seats to popular holiday hotspots such as Alicante, the Canary Islands and the Algarve.
“It isn’t just the sunshine that is driving growth, as our ski and city break destinations are on the up too. As a result we are adding a brand new winter route Grenoble. When you combine this with the success of our other winter destinations then it puts us in a very strong position to enjoy our most successful winter yet.”
