Jet2.com will be flying to popular the holiday destinations of Corfu and Rhodes this summer from Newcastle International airport.

The two new scheduled services have just gone on sale and the first flights will depart on June 4th to Rhodes and June 20th to Corfu.

The airline expects bookings from both families and couples keen to experience the culture of these islands and young people wanting to sample the summer party scene.

Jet2 chief executive Philip Meeson commented that these new direct, scheduled services are "fantastic news for the north-east" of England.

The new services from Newcastle airport are part of Jet2.com's continued expansion programme in the north.
