Jet2 boss Steve Heapy has cautioned against banking on a bumper lates period this summer, warning any such belief is misguided despite the late booking trend.

Heapy isn't convinced there will be a massive lates surge

Heapy confirmed there was a later booking curve this year due mainly to the Iran conflict, with the heatwave and ongoing Fifa World Cup also playing a part.

He added that while there was “still a long way to go”, he did not believe it would be an extraordinary summer when it came to late sales.

“I think people describing it as exceptional is probably getting a little bit carried away," he said on Wednesday (8 July) as Jet2 published its results for the year to the end of March.
