The new routes will operate as follows:

  • Jersey once weekly on Saturdays.
  • Verona once weekly on Wednesdays.

With more than 320,000 seats now available, this marks an increase in capacity of over eight per cent compared to Summer 2026.

Jet2 has now put a total of 22 routes on sale from Bournemouth for Summer 2027, including previously announced additions to Bergen and Reus.

The expansion comes in response to rising demand from customers and independent travel agents aiming to fly from Bournemouth with Jet2.

To celebrate the new Jersey route, Jet2 is offering £60 off Jet2holiday bookings to Jersey.

Steve Gill, managing director of Bournemouth Airport, said: "This is brilliant news for passengers.

"Jet2’s continued investment in Bournemouth is a strong vote of confidence in both the airport and the region we serve.

"The addition of Paris, Jersey and Verona gives our customers even more choice when planning their holidays, while reinforcing Bournemouth’s position as one of the UK's fastest-growing regional airports.

"We look forward to welcoming these new routes next summer."
