Five year celebrations for Jet2
18.04.10
Jet2, the budget airline that welcomed its 20 millionth passenger on a Manchester flight last week, is to celebrate a landmark fifth year at the airport. It plans to expand it operations and promises 'substantial growth' at its second biggest base after its home hub at Leeds Bradford.
In 2010 the airline will operate 10 new routes from Manchester Airport, the tenth and newest being Salzburg, which went on sale this week. There will be two new aircraft based at the hub, 200 flights per week, one million passengers over the year and capacity increase of 27% on last year.
The airline is now Manchester’s biggest leisure budget airline, offering more scheduled leisure destinations than any other. Ian Doubtfire, Managing Director of Jet2, said: ‘It has been a tough couple of years, but we have continued to go from strength to strength. This year is very important for us at Manchester and marks another milestone in our history.'
