The brand-new flying programme means two weekly services on Monday and Friday. The second route is exclusive with no other airline flying from London Stansted to La Palma. Jet2 will begin two weekly services with flights taking off on Mondays and Fridays which will begin on October 26, 2026. CEO Steve Heapy said: 'We are delighted to be expanding our presence across the Canary Islands from London Stansted and Manchester Airports by adding this brand-new gateway to our portfolio, appealing to holidaymakers looking to explore the island's natural beauty. He added: 'After experiencing consistent demand from holidaymakers wanting to escape to the Canary Islands throughout the year, we are confident that these new flights and holidays will prove popular with customers. 'We are already looking forward to taking customers to La Palma for the first time on their well-deserved holidays from April 2026 and beyond.' Jet2 now flies to five destinations across the Canary Islands, from 2026.

The Canary Island with red sand beaches and natural pools 5 5 Prior to the 2021 volcanic eruption on La Palma, the island received around 250,000 visitors per year. The numbers of holiday makers significantly decreased after that, but have slowly been rising. In 2024, La Palma recorded 120,000 visitors to the island - a fraction of the seven million visiting Tenerife. La Palma has dramatic cliffs, forests and beautiful beaches, which is why it is becoming popular with Brits. The average temperature in La Palma, Canary Islands, typically ranges from 16C to 27C throughout the year making it a popular winter sun spot. On the lesser-known place on island is the Caldera de Taburiente a volcanic crater almost five miles wide, created by an eruption three million years ago. Santa Cruz de la Palma is the capital and port with cobbled streets, lined with 15th-century buildings with flower-filled balconies. You can also do stargazing and visit the beaches which are not golden, but have volcanic black sands instead. Bajamar is a long and wide beach in the capital, while Los Cancajos has calm waters and is a popular spot for families. In the north is Charco Azul, a natural seawater pool enclosed by volcanic rocks and waterfalls. Plus, one man who has visited 100 countries reveals why he always goes back to these Spanish islands. And the pretty Spanish fishing village that has fewer crowds named best Canary Islands resort by Brits. 5

Heathrow eyes £2bn profit despite National Insurance hit
Heathrow has lifted profit forecasts after a stronger than expected bounce in travel demand and despite higher costs arising from the recent National Insurance hike. The British Airways hub, which is Europe's busiest airport, said it now expects to post adjusted earnings before nasties of £1.98billion for this year, up from £1.95billion in December. However, the airport's latest profit outlook would mark a 3 per cent decline year-on-year, owing to higher operating costs. It said it faced ongoing cost pressures from security requirements, 'additional service mitigations', and rising contractual costs from National Insurance. Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced last autumn that employers' National Insurance contributions would go up in early April from 13.8 per cent on annual wages above £9,100 to 15 per cent on salaries exceeding £5,000. Many prominent businesses have complained that the tax increase, together with the higher minimum wage and less generous business rates relief, will lead to job cuts and lower profits. The airport also continues to expect total passenger numbers of 84.2 million this year, compared to 83.9 million in 2024, due to elevated leisure demand and greater long-haul flying than initially predicted. A total of 32.6 million people travelled through Heathrow in the first five months of 2025, supported by growth from Latin America, the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific markets. Heathrow's cargo tonnage also rose by 16 per cent, as increased volumes from North America ahead of the introduction of recent tariffs offset declines in Europe. The airport claimed to be the most punctual hub airport in Europe during the period, with 98.4 per cent of regulated queue times in Central Search Areas coming in under five minutes. Thomas Woldbye, chief executive of Heathrow, said: 'As the UK's hub, delivering for our customers and the country is what matters. 'We are on track for another strong year with the best punctuality amongst the major hubs in Europe, over £1billion of investment to improve the airport and growing passenger numbers despite macroeconomic uncertainty. 'We are doing it all with an airport charge that, on a like-for-like basis, is aligned with our European competitors.' Heathrow briefly closed on 21 March after suffering a power outage when a nearby electrical substation caught fire. Around 270,000 journeys were affected by the shutdown. A review of the incident by former Transport Secretary Ruth Kelly said the airport 'made the right decisions in exceptionally difficult circumstances.' Heathrow has agreed to implement all 28 recommendations made by Kelly's report.
