Jet2 plc is optimistic about summer 2024

The airline and operator has 98 new Airbus A320 and A321 neo-family aircraft on firm order, and options on another 48, which chief executive Steve Heapy has previously indicated he expects the firm to exercise in full to achieve its growth ambitions and to drive fleet renewal.


Deliveries are due in the period through to 2031. Jet2 placed an initial order with CFM back in March 2022 for engines to power up to 75 of these aircraft, 63 of which are firm orders. Its first Leap-powered aircraft entered service last month.


Jet2 on Monday (19 June) confirmed it had selected CFM to supply engines for another 71 aircraft, 35 of which are firm orders.
