Jet2.com and Jet2holidays has reported "encouraging" business for summer 2022, with packages making up a higher proportion of bookings to date, but warned sales for the coming winter are still lagging behind on-sale capacity.

New routes include Rome, Malta, Chambery and Prague

Ahead of the company’s AGM, executive chair Philip Meeson revealed the airline and operator was operating to 32 green and amber list destinations, a programme amounting to around 55% of pre-Covid summer 2019 capacity.


Meeson said owing to the government’s three-weekly traffic light reviews, customers were booking "significantly closer" to departure, but stressed Jet2 was being rewarded for its nimbleness.


"Despite the limited booking visibility, pleasingly, we have generated positive financial contribution from the flying to date, supported by our quick to market, flexible operating model."
