Jet2 has secured a £300 million credit facility and repaid an earlier loan following the pandemic.

Steve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said the 2023 October half-term period is proving to be an "extremely popular time” for families to take a holiday

The carrier will deploy an extra aircraft at the base to support the expansion

Jet2 now has a £300 million fund to tap into, an increase from its previous £100 million pot, following a deal with four banks.

The brand’s board has meanwhile agreed its financial position is such that it can repay a £150 million loan not due until September 2023.

Jet2 PLC’s executive chair Philip Meeson said the £300 million revolving credit facility “reflects the considerable growth of the Jet2 business and will also provide the Group with additional financial flexibility for the future”.
