With up to 192 departing weekly flights during peak periods, the programme represents a five per cent capacity growth compared to summer 2027, offering holidaymakers across Yorkshire more choice and flexibility.
The airline is the first to launch summer 2028 getaways, with some holidaymakers already planning their trips.
Customers can now book with a £60 per person deposit and spread the cost through interest-free monthly payments, similar to the options available for other seasons such as summer 2027 and winter 2027/28.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2, said: "We are already hearing from customers asking when they can book for Summer 2028, so we’ve responded by putting the programme on sale nice and early.
“We know our Yorkshire customers work hard for their well-deserved holidays, and this exciting announcement gives them something to look forward to."
He added: "By booking early, customers have the best choice when it comes to where they want to go and when they want to travel.
"Early bookers also get the pick of the best hotels, which are always the first to sell out, as well as the best rooms such as family rooms, interconnecting rooms, and rooms with a sea view, which fill up quickly too.
“With 2028 being a particularly special summer for us as we celebrate 25 years of Jet2, we look forward to showcasing our industry-leading customer service and helping our holidaymakers create unforgettable memories."
