The expanded programme includes twice-weekly flights from Birmingham on Mondays and Fridays between October 6 and 17. Manchester will see twice-weekly flights on Mondays and Thursdays from October 6 to 16. London Stansted gains additional weekly Saturday flights between October 11 and 18.

These new flights complement the existing 2025 schedule, which begins on May 1, 2025 with five weekly services throughout the summer from the three UK airports.

Pula and the Istrian Coast offer a diverse range of attractions for holidaymakers. Visitors can explore Pula's architectural gems and historic monuments, relax on Blue Flag beaches, and enjoy the city's vibrant nightlife.

The destination caters to history enthusiasts, couples and groups of friends alike.

The Istrian Coast boasts charming promenades and traditional trattorias serving fresh seafood. Its old-world charm provides a picturesque backdrop for memorable holidays, Jet2 stated.

Jet2holidays has expanded its package holiday options in the region. Travellers can choose from a wide selection of villas and hotels, ranging from 3 to 5-star accommodations.

Popular resorts include Porec, Rovinj, Umag, Novigrad, Pula, Medulin, Vrsar, and Rabac, offering a variety of experiences along the stunning Istrian coastline.

CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays Steve Heapy said: "We were incredibly excited to add Pula and the Istrian Coast to our Summer 25 programme, and it is very clear from the response that customers and independent travel agents were just as pleased.

"The demand we are continuing to see means that we have moved quickly to extend the summer season in Pula and the Istrian Coast right through to mid-October, with fantastic villa and hotel options available.

"We are delighted to be expanding our Pula and the Istrian Coast programme already, providing customers and independent travel agents with the choice and flexibility that they are looking for."
