Jet2.com Extends Newcastle – Krakow Offering

UK low-fare carrier Jet2.com has confirmed that it will extend its flights between Newcastle and Krakow into the Northern Winter schedules. The airline had originally planned to drop the route at the end of the summer in late October but will now continue to serve the route twice per week until January 2, 2012.

According to official CAA data, Jet2.com carried 2,175 passengers on the route in April and May, its first two months of operation. The region around Krakow attracts more visitors than anywhere else in Poland and is one of Europe's architectural gems, with its attractive churches, palaces and the popular Old Town.

"Krakow is a very popular route from Newcastle so we are delighted to be able to extend the season until after Christmas, so holidaymakers can see the city when it’s transformed into a Winter Wonderland,” said Ian Doubtfire, Managing Director, Jet2.com. “It offers such great variety – from history and culture to a lively nightlife – it really is a destination which appeals to everyone.”
