TUI has announced an exciting expansion to its Greece programme for summer 2026, adding new direct flights to the island of Kos from Bournemouth, Exeter, and London Stansted.
This marks the first time TUI will operate flights to Kos from Bournemouth and Exeter, giving holidaymakers across the South of England easier access to one of Greece’s most loved islands.
More Choice and Flexibility
For the first time since 2019, London Stansted will also see TUI flights returning to Kos, operating twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays. The schedule offers greater flexibility, allowing travellers to choose from short breaks of three or four nights, or longer stays of seven, 10, 11 or 14 nights.
TUI UK & Ireland Managing Director Neil Swanson said:
“These new routes to Kos follow a rise in demand for this picturesque island, which is one of our customers’ favourite Greek destinations.
By launching services from Bournemouth and Exeter for the first time, and reinstating our popular London Stansted route, we’re making it easier than ever for customers across the South of England to enjoy an unforgettable Greek island holiday.
The variety of durations available gives our customers real flexibility in planning their perfect getaway, whether that’s a quick three-night escape or a full two-week break.”
Holidays on Sale Now
Flights and packages for the summer 2026 season are already on sale, including a variety of resorts across Kos to suit all budgets and styles.
Why Kos?
Kos remains one of Greece’s most charming islands, blending golden beaches with traditional villages and a laid-back Mediterranean feel. From family-friendly resorts and ancient ruins to vibrant tavernas and sunset cruises, it’s easy to see why the island is growing in popularity among UK travellers.
With more regional departures, flexible durations and trusted TUI packages, getting to Kos has never been easier.
