Jet2 is seeing the summer late booking trend continue into winter

The airline and operator on Thursday (3 September) said passengers were continuing to book closer to departure "throughout the peak summer period".

Looking ahead to winter, Jet2 said: "Early indications show similar booking trends to summer with passengers still booking closer to departure."

In a trading update, Jet2 said it had seen "sustained demand" since it announced its preliminary full-year results in early July after it put 19.9 million seats on sale, 7.6% more than summer 2025.

Booked-to-date passengers are up by 8.8% year-on-year with Jet2 reporting "growth across both package holiday and flight-only" sales, albeit without providing figures for this growth.
