Jet2 says ‘this summer is on’ as it restates confidence in jet fuel supply during Middle East war
Holiday firm Jet2 has reassured customers that it plans to operate a normal flying programme this summer as it delivered a “positive update” on fuel supplies despite the conflict in the Middle East.
The company said fuel suppliers have reported increased production and additional imports from areas unaffected by the Middle East conflict.
The statement added: “Jet2 has already confirmed its plans to operate as normal this summer and, on top of that, was the first UK airline and tour operator to reassure customers that it would not introduce surcharges on any booked flights or holidays to cover cost increases, for example jet fuel.”
Steve Heapy, the chief executive of Jet2 said on Wednesday: “We are in regular dialogue with our fuel suppliers, and the current picture is one of increased production and imports, meaning we continue to look ahead with confidence.
"We have already been very clear about our plans to operate our schedule as normal this summer, and our message to holidaymakers is that summer is on.”
“This confidence, on top of the value that our award-winning holidays offer right now, means it is a fantastic time to get that well-deserved holiday locked in, and we know that many people are taking advantage of that right now.
He added: "Everything is geared up and ready for a busy summer and we look forward to welcoming everybody onboard and creating fantastic memories with Jet2.”
