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.
And Jet2holidays has also launched a range of hotels located across the island with a selection of 2-4 star accommodation available to book.
These are across stunning resorts like Los Cancajos, Puerto Naos and Tazacorte.

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.
