This week, Jet2 has celebrated operating to and from Venice, Italy for two decades marking a milestone achievement.
This article will cover the details surrounding Jet2’s latest achievement of marking 20 years of operations to Venice.
Jet2’s 20 Years at Venice
Back on April 1, 2004, Jet2 operated their first ever flight to Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) from Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA).
Since 2004, over the past 20 years, Jet2 has carried over 1.5 million passengers to Venice, through both Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks.
Today, the airline no longer operates to Venice from Leeds. Instead, the carrier now operates the route from both Birmingham and Manchester.
