First rescue flights getting Brits out of fire-ravaged Rhodes touch down in the UK
Three TUI flights were made overnight while Jet2's first touched down in Leeds late on Sunday.
Jet2, which has announced three more flights going to Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham, said: "We have significantly increased our presence on the island too, with experienced colleagues arriving from other destinations, as well as a dedicated senior team flying from the UK to Rhodes yesterday. "We will be investigating all of that. I think it's important to make the point that virtually all the tour operators and holiday companies have sprung into action in the proper way and I hope that will continue."
