Signals for Greek tourism in 2027 from major travel agencies and airlines at World Travel Market London 2026 are strongly positive. Jet2, EasyJet, TUI Group and British Airways announced in London more destinations and seats to Greece for next year.
Jet2, one of the largest UK tour operators serving Greece, said its 2027 capacity will rise by 5% and exceed 1.9 million seats. Its plans allow for up to 366 weekly flights and a presence in 28 Greek destinations and 16 airports, with Kavala added. Executives also examined options for more flights in spring and autumn.
EasyJet is adding two UK services for 2027: London Southend–Rhodes and London Luton–Thessaloniki. That follows a 9% increase in the airline’s activity from the British market in 2026, when seven new routes to Greece were added. Tourism Minister Olga Kefalogianni, in London, discussed with EasyJet Holidays management stronger Kalamata connections and themed tourism meant to draw visitors through the year.
TUI Group announced new 2027 connections at its management’s meeting with the minister, with emphasis on Gatwick–Athens and Gatwick–Mytilini. The talks also covered sustainable tourism development and the promotion of local products and gastronomy.
British Airways reported passenger traffic on its network to Greece up 4% in January–August, with total annual traffic up 6%. The airline now keeps connections to 11 Greek destinations that were previously seasonal, and is widening access via Athens to Chios, Paros, Milos, Naxos, Alexandroupoli, Mytilini, Samos, Limnos and Ioannina.
