Jet2 has declined to comment on concerns raised by pilots’ union Balpa over flight crew rostering.
The association raised the subject publicly in a statement issued on Friday.
But when approached for a response to the union’s claims, a spokesperson for the budget airline and tour operating group said the company would not be commenting.
Balpa last year called on conciliation service Acas to “break the deadlock” with the company which runs the UK’s third largest airline operating from 10 UK airports.

However, the union voiced “frustration” over attempts to advance industrial relations and offers to provide its expertise “to help the company develop its rostering practices”.
Balpa insisted that it “stands ready” to engage with the company to create “positive and meaningful industrial relations on all aspects of flying”.
It added: “We have the company’s and our members’ best interests at heart and, in advance of calling on Acas to intervene yet again, the pilots’ union asks Jet2 for greater co-operation.”
Balpa’s national officer Terry Brandon said: “Jet2 continues to repeat history by being obstinate in its approach to industrial relations, whilst our members call for improvements to the way their working hours are rostered for duty.
“We are completely baffled by Jet2’s lack of positive and meaningful engagement when we are considered social partners with most, if not all, other airlines in the UK.
“Each year the company comes up with a ‘Lifestyle’ initiative without proper trade union consultation and we know that it could be significantly improved upon if Jet2 would work in partnership with Balpa’s own experts.
“Yes, an airline requires dedicated and flexible pilots, but they also require proper collective agreements to support them especially with a busy summer season ahead when everyone will be working to the maximum.”
Jet2holidays overtook Tui to become the UK’s largest tour operator in February by raising its Atol licence for 2023 to carry 5.8 million passengers.
Staff working for Jet2.com and Jet2holidays were due to receive a 9% pay rise in April on top of an 8% increase, £1,000 bonus and five days’ extra holiday in 2022.
Parent company Jet2 has forecast making an annual profit of almost £400 million for the year to March 31 with full financial results due to be issued on July 6.
The group has firm orders with Airbus for 98 new generation A320/A321neo aircraft which could extend up to as many as 146.
