The new service to one of Spain’s top holiday airports, gateway of the Costa del Sol, will be Jet2.com’s 16th route from Edinburgh Airport. Jet2.com flights to Malaga will go on sale today for departures on Wednesdays and Saturdays, starting from 2nd April 2011 – in time for the Easter holidays. Great value package holidays to Malaga can also be booked with Jet2holidays, with prices starting from just £259 for a seven night break, including resort transfers, a generous 22kg luggage allowance and allocated seats, based on two people sharing.

The new route further establishes Jet2.com’s position as Edinburgh’s leading leisure airline, and highlights its commitment to the area following the recent announcement that a record number of passengers flew with the airline from Edinburgh in summer 2010.

Kevin Brown, Managing Director, of Edinburgh Airport, said, “We are delighted  that Jet2.com will be strengthening Edinburgh’s links with Spain. We are working very hard to increase Scotland’s links across Europe by working closely with our airline partners. We welcome Jet2.com’s expansion of its operation and destinations from Edinburgh.”
