Steve Heapy, Chief Executive of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “We’re thrilled to be the only airline in the region to give East Midlands’ travellers access to these two Eastern European gems direct from their doorstep. Our great value flights will save local passengers time and money by removing the need to travel to other UK airports. We’ve made both these routes available following huge customer demand so are very confident they will be a great success – I’d encourage people looking for an exciting city break this winter to book now to avoid disappointment!”

Stephen Turner, Aviation Director M.A.G. said: “Budapest and Prague are both real highlights when it comes to European city breaks, offering holidaymakers fantastic cultural hot spots to explore, night life to enjoy and awesome scenery to be amazed by. Jet2.com's brand new routes direct from East Midlands Airport are an important addition to our destination map that we anticipate are going to be hugely popular additions to the services currently available from the region.”
