Next year is forecast to be the year when travel finally sheds the pandemic hangover and returns to pre-Covid volumes – and the UK’s three largest operators couldn’t have signalled their intentions more forcibly.

Jet2 has put further distance between itself and Tui

On Monday (2 October), Jet2holidays extended its Atol by more than 850,000 seats to around 6.7 million authorisations, while Tui added another 522,000 to grow its Atol to nearly 5.9 million, rising to nearly 6.2 million with the addition of those authorisations belonging to its Marella Cruises brand.


EasyJet holidays, meanwhile, has added almost one million extra Atol-protected seats, almost doubling the size of its operation from 1.3 million to nearly 2.3 million.
