More than half of capacity provided by low-cost carrier Jet2.com for this summer is already sold.
The figure emerged today in a brief trading statement by parent company Dart Group which described overall forward booking levels as “encouraging”.
“This is supported by the successful expansion of Jet2holidays and its sales of great value package holidays,” the company said.
Dart, which also runs a distribution and logistics business, said: “The group believes that pre-tax profitability for the year ended 31 March 2014 will be in line with current market expectations.
“Cash flow generation from operations remains healthy, and during the period the group has continued to invest for future growth.
“The group intends to further develop and grow its businesses and expects continued profit growth for the year ending 31 March 2015.”
