Jet2 has issued a warning to many passengers who are soon due to fly abroad.
One of the UK’s largest airlines, Jet2 now flies from some 14 airports across the country, including London Gatwick, Manchester, and Birmingham. Jet2 also flies from East Midlands Airport, and passengers due to travel from here over the weekend have been urged to plan wisely ahead of their trips. On Friday morning (April 16) Jet2 issued a new alert ahead of an expected “increase in traffic”.
Jet2 said at 10am on Friday: “We wanted to let you know there may be an increase in traffic over this weekend due to the British Touring Car Championship event at Donington Park on Saturday 18th April 2026 and Sunday 19th April 2026. If you’re affected, please allow extra time for your journey to the airport as we’re operating all our flights as scheduled.
“Please arrive at the airport at least two hours before your departure time. Check-in closes 40 minutes before a flight’s departure time.”
The announcement comes after Jet2 also updated passengers travelling to parts of Spain on Friday. The airline warned there may be some delays on flights to Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Jerez, and La Palma, due to strike action by Spanish Air Traffic Control company Saerco.
All passengers travelling with Jet2 are advised to check the travel information section of its website at least 12 hours before their flight is due to depart.
