EastJet Holidays launched to the trade in August and the operator’s chief executive Garry Wilson said: “I have been absolutely delighted by the support the trade has given us. The number of bookings has been way over the expectations me or the team had.”
Wilson, speaking at TTG’s Putting Travel Back on the Map virtual seminar (part of London Travel Week), added he would “do everything to continue to support the trade”. Although he admitted offering agents price parity with direct booking was not possible due to the operator’s “low margins”.
