Jet2 reports record passenger numbers and revenue as it expands into Gatwick
Package holiday firm Jet2 said it achieved record passenger numbers and revenue over the last financial year, as it delivered results in line with market expectations.
It said its expansion into London Gatwick underlined its profitable growth strategy and it also announced a £250m share buyback programme.
In the year ended 31 March 2026, revenue increased by 4 per cent to £7,482.1m and passenger numbers increased 5 per cent to 20.83m.
Steve Heapy, Jet2 plc chief executive officer, commented: "The 2026 financial year was another period of strong progress for Jet2. We took more customers on holiday than ever before, delivered record revenue and achieved a resilient operating profit performance even after absorbing Gatwick start-up investment and wider industry cost pressures.
“Jet2 is a business with strong fundamentals, an attractive and differentiated product proposition and a trusted brand built on consistently high standards of customer service. These strengths, which sit at the heart of our People, Service, Profits philosophy, give me confidence in the group's ability to deliver sustainable long-term profitable growth as customers continue to choose Jet2 for their hard-earned holidays.”
