The operator now predicts a pre-tax profit of £510-£525 million for the 12 months to 31 March 2024 compared with a previous estimate of £480-£520 million.
In a trading statement, Jet2 said it was optimistic about the current winter season. “Against a 20.5% increase in on sale seat capacity, winter 2023/24 forward bookings have performed well, with passenger sectors booked currently up by 17% and average pricing for both flight-only and package holiday products robust.
"The mix of higher margin per passenger package holiday customers is slightly ahead of last winter at approximately 60%, which is particularly pleasing given the resurgence of city breaks in this period.”
