On Monday (November 10, 2025), TUI UK&I announced the launch of new direct service to Kos from Bournemouth, Exeter and London Stansted from summer 2026.  This marks the first time ever that Bournemouth and Exeter have been directly connected to Kos by TUI, opening the island to a new wave of holidaymakers who can now travel from their local airport.  The route between London Stansted and Kos, which last ran in 2019, will operate twice weekly on Mondays and Thursdays.  With average summer temperatures around 27°C (81°F), Kos is ideal for summer sun-chasers looking to soak up some Mediterranean rays.


In Monday’s announcement, TUI UK&I’s 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 3-night escape or a full two-week break. And with pristine beaches, classic tavernas, crystal-clear waters, charming villages, and rich history, it’s easy for Brits to make the most of their holiday in Kos.”
