East Midlands Airport will introduce two new flight routes in May 2025. Jet2 will launch direct flights to Leros, Greece, starting May 2, with departures available every Tuesday and Friday until the end of October. TUI will begin flights to Boa Vista, Cape Verde, on May 3, operating on Wednesdays and Saturdays through October.
The expansion adds to the airport’s growing list of summer destinations, providing more options for travelers seeking warmer climates. Leros, a lesser-known Greek island, is popular for its secluded beaches and historic sites, while Boa Vista offers year-round sunshine and is known for its white-sand beaches and watersports.
The new routes are part of Jet2 and TUI’s broader strategy to expand offerings at regional airports, catering to increasing demand for holiday travel from the Midlands.
