A spokeswoman for Jet2.com said: "Because of the ongoing uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the current UK government advice, we have taken the difficult decision to suspend flights and holidays to mainland Spain (affecting Alicante, Málaga and Barcelona) for the rest of summer 20.

"We are obviously very disappointed to be making this announcement, as we know how much our customers look forward to their well-deserved holidays in these fantastic destinations."

Jet2 said customers were able to choose a new holiday date with no admin fee, a refund credit note, or a full refund and said it was contacting affected customers.

The statement continued: "To give customers more choice when it comes to booking or rebooking their Summer 2020 holidays, we recently announced hundreds of new flights to in-land destinations, representing almost 100,000 additional seats.

"That demand tells us that customers want to get away for their well-deserved holidays.

"We continue to urge the government to do more to help holidaymakers by implementing a targeted approach to travel advice, instead of the current blanket ban approach.

"We can assure our customers and partners across mainland Spain that we remain completely committed to these fantastic destinations."

The airline's final outbound flights to Croatia for the season will be on September 6.
