The operator on Tuesday (26 March) confirmed it will no longer sell tickets to venues “which feature cetaceans (orcas, whales and dolphins) for entertainment”. The change will take effect on Wednesday (27 March). Jet2 has, though, told customers all existing bookings will be honoured.

"A key driver of our success is the fact that we continually review every element of our operation, and as part of that process, we encourage and welcome feedback from a range of stakeholders,” said a Jet2 spokesperson.
