- Jet2 will end La Palma flights on 30 October 2026.
- The Manchester route launched on 3 April 2026.
- A planned London Stansted service was cancelled before operating.
- Affected passengers are being offered refunds or alternative packages.
- TUI remains the only British carrier flying direct to La Palma.
Jet2 has confirmed it will end flights to La Palma on 30 October 2026 less than seven months after launching the Manchester route. The airline has also cancelled a planned service from London Stansted that never operated. TUI will remain the only British carrier offering direct flights to the island.
The final service between Manchester Airport and La Palma will depart on 30 October 2026. Planned services from London Stansted Airport scheduled to begin on 6 November 2026 have been cancelled before a single flight could take off. A Jet2 spokesperson noted the difficult decision followed a routine programme review and was driven by a lack of customer demand.
Affected holidaymakers are being contacted directly by Jet2 to arrange full refunds or book alternative holiday packages. The short-lived twice-weekly route first launched on 3 April 2026 intended to be a year-round addition alongside Jet2’s other Canary Island destinations. Following Jet2’s exit TUI remains the sole airline providing direct seasonal flights between Manchester and La Palma.
