Jet2 will launch flights and city breaks to Paris from East Midlands Airport for summer 2027.
The airline and tour operator said the new route will operate twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays, from 26 March to 29 October 2027.
Passengers will be able to book flight-only seats with Jet2.com, city breaks through Jet2CityBreaks, or package holidays through Jet2holidays. The route will also be available for trips to Disneyland Paris and Eurocamp sites in the Paris area.
Jet2 said flight-only bookings include a 22kg baggage allowance and 10kg hand luggage. Package holiday options include flights, accommodation and ATOL protection, with a £60 per person booking deposit.
