Jet2 has today reported positive updates about fuel supply, supporting its plans to operate its flying programme as normal this summer.
This comes on the back of the company’s latest dialogue with fuel suppliers, who have reported increased production and additional imports from areas unaffected by the Middle East conflict.
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. Put simply, the price at which customers book with Jet2 is the price they will pay. In an industry-leading move, Jet2 removed the surcharge provision across all flights and holidays, even though it has never been applied.
The company has also reaffirmed its reputation as a consumer champion by pledging that customers will continue to benefit from flexibility and swift refunds in the unlikely event of any flight or holiday cancellations. Throughout the Covid pandemic, Jet2 earned widespread praise for the way it refunded customers quickly and efficiently, unlike many other companies in the industry, and has today confirmed that it will continue to follow its guiding principle of putting customers first.
Steve Heapy, CEO 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.”
He added: “This confidence, on top of the incredible 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. Everything is geared up and ready for a busy summer and we look forward to welcoming everybody onboard and creating fantastic memories with Jet2.”
