The expansion has seen the operator bring forward the start of the season to Porto, Portugal's second largest city, to mid-February 2026 to coincide with the school half-term holidays.

The other existing services being expanded out of Birmingham Airport are Antalya, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Paphos and Tenerife.
Tom Screen, aviation director of Birmingham Airport, said: "We're delighted that Jet2 has directly responded to our customers' needs and expanded its programme for winter 2025/26.
"The new increased services offer even more choice for our customers looking to jet off during the winter period whether that's for a much-needed dose of sunshine or a cultural city break."
Jet2 chief executive Steve Heapy said: "We are seeing continued demand for our award-winning flights and holidays and with winter 2025/26 looking so popular we are in the position to respond with a massively expanded programme from Birmingham Airport.
"As well as extending the season to Porto, we have also put additional capacity on sale to popular winter sun destinations, meaning we are giving customers even more choice and flexibility when it comes to getting away next winter.
"We look forward to taking lots of happy holidaymakers on their well-deserved holidays next winter and showcasing our award-winning credentials."
