Jet2 says ‘this summer is on’ as it reiterates confidence in jet fuel supplies

Jet2 has reported “positive” updates about fuel supply, supporting its plans to operate its flying programme as normal this summer. 

It follows company’s latest dialogue with fuel suppliers, who have reported increased production and additional imports from areas unaffected by the Middle East conflict. 

In a statement, the company said: “These positive developments mean that Jet2 is continuing to look forward to taking customers on their well-deserved holidays this summer.

“Today’s update follows a report issued just last week which saw Jet2 top a UK resilience ranking as the best protected UK airline against elevated fuel costs.

“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.”

The company has also pledged that customers will continue to benefit from “flexibility and swift refunds in the unlikely event of any flight or holiday cancellations”.

Steve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2, said: “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.”
