Jet2 returns to Bergen after 15 years

Jet2 flights and Jet2holidays city breaks to Bergen are due to start today (Thursday) with departures from Manchester and Newcastle airports.

The Norwegian city will also be served by new flights from Leeds Bradford and Birmingham from May.

The spring flights programme will be the first time the company has operated to the gateway to the fjords in more than 15 years.

Package holidays to Bergen are part of the operator’s growing ‘Discover More’ range “designed to cater to holidaymakers’ sense of adventure,” which includes non-family bookings, couples and solo travellers.

Turkey, Iceland, Christmas markets, Croatian cruises and a number of  city break destinations are also included.

Chief executive Steve Heapy said: “We are delighted to see our new programme of flights and city breaks to Bergen start operating from Manchester airport and Newcastle International airport. We also look forward to seeing our first flights depart from Leeds Bradford airport and Birmingham airport in the coming weeks. 

“The addition of flights and packages to this jaw-dropping destination for spring ’24 gives customers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the beauty of the fjords. 

“Bergen is a stunning and vibrant city with something around every corner, and we expect this new programme to be extremely popular.”

Fjord Norway chief executive Stein Ove Rolland added: “We are experiencing a steadily increasing interest among Brits who seek to experience the iconic Norwegian fjord landscape. 

“With refreshing nature experiences and strong contrasts, and a region rich in culture, history and cities with small town charm, Fjord Norway has become an attractive destination for British people. 

“Jet2 has now made it very easy to travel directly to Bergen, right in the heart of the Norwegian fjords.”
