Jet2

Jet2 is a prominent UK package holiday operator that transports approximately 20 million passengers annually. The company is currently newsworthy due to a significant rebound in summer holiday bookings, which have seen a 7.1% increase compared to the previous year. This surge in demand is attributed, in part, to a fragile ceasefire in the Middle East, contributing to a 1.2 percentage point rise in average load factor. Despite this positive business outlook, Jet2 was also recently involved in an incident where a man died on a flight from Larnaca to Manchester. Greater Manchester Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death, with reports suggesting the man was restrained by passengers. This dual focus highlights Jet2's current relevance in both the travel market's recovery and in addressing serious onboard incidents.
