New services flying to an ‘incredible city’ in Europe will be available to holidaymakers travelling from East Midlands Airport starting next year.
Airline Jet2 has announced the launch of direct services from the Castle Donington airport to Paris, operating twice a week from March 2027 to October 2027.
The announcement was made on Tuesday (April 21), with new services also revealed for customers flying from London Stansted and Manchester Airport.
The new services will operate from March 26 to October 29, and comes after increased demand in flights to the French capital, the airline explained.

“As always, we are giving customers and independent travel agents exactly what they want by launching three brand-new routes to Paris for Summer 2027.
