An airline and holiday company has announced an expansion of its flight programme to Italy from a Scottish airport.
Jet2.com and Jet2holidays has added flights and holidays for Summer 2024 and Summer 2025 to Sardinia, Sicily and Verona in response to demand for ‘La Dolce Vita’ from holidaymakers across the UK.
The UK’s largest tour operator and third largest airline has added capacity from across eight UK airports - including Edinburgh Airport.
The companies have put more flights and holidays on sale from Edinburgh to Verona in October 2024, April 2025 and October 2025 and from Edinburgh to Sicily in April 2025.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: “Our Italian programme is enjoying strong demand, which comes as no surprise when you consider the stunning beach holiday and city break options that it offers customers and independent travel agents.
"Sicily, Sardinia and Verona are a trio of Italian delights, and today’s announcement represents a significant expansion of all three destinations. Based on the demand we are seeing, we expect these flights and holidays to sell very quickly, as customers look to escape to these magical destinations.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
