Jet2 to launch Tunisia holidays from five UK airports for Summer 2027

TL;DR — Jet2holidays is adding Tunisia to its Summer 2027 programme with direct flights and packages from five UK airports, reviving one of the strongest source markets Tunisia had before 2015.

After strong customer demand and repeat wins for its Mediterranean short-haul network, Jet2 has confirmed Tunisia — Enfidha-Hammamet and Monastir — as a new destination for Summer 2027. Departures will operate from Manchester, Birmingham, London Stansted, East Midlands and Newcastle, with a mix of 4- and 5-star all-inclusive resorts on sale from mid-2026.

What it means for travellers

For UK holidaymakers, Jet2's entry is a big deal. The airline is consistently ranked among Europe's top leisure carriers for on-time performance, baggage handling and family service — and their all-in-one package model (flight + transfer + hotel + 22kg bag) usually undercuts DIY bookings during peak weeks. Expect competitive lead-in prices for Hammamet, Yasmine Hammamet, Sousse and Mahdia, and a healthy pipeline of 5-star options in Djerba once the summer schedule fills out.

Why it matters for Tunisia

Britain used to be a top-five source market for Tunisian tourism. Its return, together with growth from Poland, Czechia and Germany, points to a broadening of the country's traditional French-and-Italian base. Enfidha-Hammamet (NBE) will be the primary gateway; expect capacity upgrades to the airport's ground handling and passenger facilities ahead of the 2027 season.

If you are UK-based and eyeing 2027, keep an eye on Jet2's early-release fares in Q4 2026 — that is historically when the best all-inclusive value appears.
