Need to know: Jet2 confirms summer flights will run as normal after securing fuel supply deals
- Jet2 has confirmed all summer flights will operate as normal after securing improved fuel supply deals. The news will be welcomed by many passengers after reports of a possible ‘jet fuel shortage’ across Europe.
- The budget airline announced today that fuel suppliers have increased production and additional imports are arriving from regions unaffected by Middle East conflicts. This follows negotiations that saw Jet2 ranked as the UK’s best-protected airline against rising fuel costs.
- The carrier has pledged no additional charges will be added to existing bookings despite rising costs. Jet2 was among the first UK airlines to guarantee this protection for customers.
- CEO Steve Heapy 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.”
- The airline has also reaffirmed its commitment to swift refunds and flexibility for any cancellations. During Covid, Jet2 earned praise for its efficient customer refund process compared to industry rivals.
- The positive fuel news comes after Jet2 was recognised as Europe’s second most fuel-efficient carrier in a major aviation emissions study.
