Days after naming Bournemouth as its 12th UK base, opening next spring, the first flights from its 11th – Liverpool’s John Lennon airport – took off on Thursday morning (28 March).
The inaugural Liverpool flight was to Tenerife followed by a second service to Lanzarote, reflecting demand for the Canary islands over the Easter holidays.
Hundreds of holidaymakers were treated to a VIP experience on Thursday morning, which featured a turn from a Beatles tribute band, where Jet2 gave away a seven-night family holiday and other prizes, including flight vouchers.
