The move goes further than guidance issued by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office yesterday, which warned Britons against all but essential travel to Madrid, La Rioja and the municipalities of La Bastida, Vitoria and Miranda de Ebro.
The airline, which is is based at nine UK airports, has halted all flights with immediate effect to mainland Spain, as well as the Balearic and Canary Islands, including Majorca, Ibiza, Minorca, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Tenerife, Fuerteventura and also to Malta.
Jet2 planes from the UK to Spain have turned back in mid-air as the airline cancelled all flights to the country due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The dramatic move by the low-cost airline comes after new infections rose sharply in Spain and the government put 60,000 people in four towns on a mandatory lockdown.

I am surprised people use this expensive Flights Company.
I guess Jet2 are trying to sort those affected at this immediate time. I was/am due to travel next Sunday so don’t imagine I or anyone else will hear much until nearer the time.
Can understand Jet 2 doing all this, I travel back to Mallorca with Jet2 next week(or not) and my friend was flying tomorrow, neither of us at this time (2pm in Spain) have been informed of anything...we have seen it online and on TV.....that is poor
And they’ll still moan like when there’s a technical fault with the plane there will be more huffing puffing and tutting than you’ll have ever heard before, all compensation claims c/o the chinaman with 3 b..lls one hung low 🦠🦠
No one to Hold my Hand !!!
