Jet2 announce major expansion
20.11.10
Jet2 has announced that it will launch 26 new routes and increase capacity on a number of existing routes from several UK airports next year. The airline, which carried a record 2.8 million passengers this summer, has already added winter flights to Hurghada, Madeira, Geneva, Chambery, Salzburg and Budapest.
In 2011 it hopes to carry an extra 1 million passengers on new routes, which include flights to the Dordogne Valley (Brive), Bodrum and Krakow. The budget airline will also launch flights from its new hub, Glasgow, from March 2011. In order to launch the new flights, the airline will add four aircraft to its fleet and recruit 600 members of staff.
Philip Meeson, CEO of Jet, said: ‘Despite it being a challenging economic climate, which has seen both airlines and tour operators failing, we have had a very successful 2010 to date. We put this down to our friendly service and the popularity of our convenient flight times, 22kg baggage allowance and allocated seats and points for free flights that reward our loyal customers.’
