Jet2: Holiday firm provides update on move to the Main Market
Jet2 has revealed that it is due to move its listing to the main market of the London Stock Exchange next month.
Jet2, which is a package holiday provider and the UK's third-largest airline, has provided an update on the proposed admission of the company's ordinary shares of 1.25p each to the equity shares category of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange.
The statement added: “Further to the company’s announcement on 3 September 2026, the board of directors of the company now expects that admission will take place and the Ordinary Shares will be cancelled from admission to trading on the AIM market of London Stock Exchange plc at 8.00 a.m. on 8 December 2026.
"The last day of trading of the Ordinary Shares on AIM is therefore expected to be 7 December 2026.”
"The company anticipates inclusion in the next quarterly review of the FTSE 250 Index to be undertaken following admission, although inclusion remains subject to review by FTSE Russell.
“Shareholders should note that the ordinary shares will no longer be traded on AIM with effect from admission and should take their own professional advice regarding the consequences of admission. Canaccord Genuity is acting as sponsor exclusively to the company and no one else in connection with the proposed admission. The company will make further announcements as required in due course.”
In a trading update published in September, Jet2 said summer bookings were higher than last year and it was on track for a stronger winter. The number of passengers booked for summer 2026 travel was up 8.8% compared with last year, Jet2 said at the time. This included growth across both its package holidays and flight-only deals.
In September, Jet2 announced its intention to move its stock market listing from the AIM to the main market.
This move opens the door to a broader range of UK and international institutional investors.
Steve Heapy, Jet2’s chief executive, said the move reflected “the scale of the business we have built, our proven track record of delivery and the opportunities that lie ahead”.
In September, Adam Vettese, a market analyst at Etoro, said the listing move was an “important signal”.
“Jet2 has outgrown AIM in everything except the ticker,” he said.
