Jet2 was forced to ground all flights in March due to the coronavirus pandemic, and resumed a number of repatriation flights before stopping all routes.
The company said today that all customers due to travel before July 15 will be contacted, with the option of rebooking their getaway to a later date.
In a statement today the company said: "In view of the ongoing travel restrictions that are in place as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, we have taken the decision to recommence our flights and holidays programme on July 15th."
We will be introducing a range of safety measures on our aircraft and transfer vehicles.

Both Ryanair and British Airways are to resume flights in July, although all dates are likely to change depending on the pandemic.
The UK still advises against all non-essential travel abroad, which isn't likely to be lifted anytime soon.
