Kerry Williams – who was travelling with her friends and their children for a holiday to Fuerteventura – was named as the carrier’s 100 millionth customer on Wednesday (24 August), and to mark the occasion, Williams was given five pairs of free flights at check-in.
 
Other customers travelling were given a VIP customer experience at check-in, which included a red-carpet welcome, a balloon arch, palm trees and beach balls.
 
Since its first flight from Leeds Bradford to Amsterdam in February 2003, Jet2.com now operates to 68 sun, city and ski destinations across Europe, the Mediterranean and Canary Islands from across ten UK bases, compared to just nine when it first launched.

Steve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: "We are delighted to have flown millions of happy customers on our award-winning flights and for our 100 millionth customer to be travelling with us today.

"It is fantastic to have reached this important milestone and to be celebrating this with a special customer experience at check-in."
