Jet2 announced on 15 October 2026 that it is adding more than 32,000 extra seats on its UK-Tunisia routes, extending its Enfidha-Hammamet programme beyond the summer season for the first time and targeting the autumn and February half-term periods.
The airline, which launched its Tunisia operation in June 2026 for Summer 2027, will now fly through to 30 November 2027 before resuming on 11 February 2028. The extension is aimed squarely at British families seeking direct winter sun flights during school holiday windows, both of which have limited direct competition from existing UK carriers on the Tunisia route.
All five UK departure points are included in the extended schedule: Birmingham, East Midlands, Leeds Bradford, Manchester and London Stansted, all operating to Enfidha-Hammamet International Airport. The airport sits roughly 45 minutes from central Hammamet and around 30 minutes from Sousse, making it a practical gateway to the northern and central coast.
What the Extension Means for Travellers
The practical impact is a longer booking window for British travellers, with November 2027 and February 2028 departures now available for sale. Jet2 packages will include holidays as well as flight-only options, which brings Tunisia within reach of the mainstream UK package market during months when only scheduled carriers have previously operated the route.
Tunisia’s coastal resorts remain warm through November, with daytime temperatures of 18-22 degrees on the Hammamet and Sousse coasts and reliable sunshine. For visitors interested in the south of the country, November and December are among the best months to visit Douz and the Sahara edges, where summer heat has fully lifted and crowds are well below peak levels. Our Tunisia in November guide covers what conditions and attractions look like during this period.
The decision to extend into winter reflects a wider pattern in Jet2’s approach to new markets. The airline typically reserves year-round capacity for destinations where repeat bookings justify it, so the extension is a commercial signal that Tunisia’s first summer with Jet2 generated enough forward demand to make the winter viable.
