Jet2 registers busiest-ever weekend with more than 800 flights and no cancellations

For the second month in succession, Jet2.com was the only UK airline not to cancel any flights, it said. The leisure carrier did not axe a single service during August - one of the busiest months of the year for holiday flights.

Flight data published by travel intelligence company OAG revealed Jet2.com was the only UK airline to operate its full programme during the peak summer months of July and August. The weekend of July 23-24 was the airline's busiest weekend ever when it operated more than 800 flights.

Jet2holidays has also recently launched a brand-new campaign called ‘Holiday Saving Experts’. The campaign sees the award-winning tour operator supporting customers with a huge range of advice and tips from different colleagues from across the whole business on how to make their money go further.

Steve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “This exhaustive data published by OAG shows that Jet2.com is the only UK airline not to cancel a single flight during the peak summer months of July and August. It is proof that we are the airline that customers and independent travel agents can trust.

"This summer has been incredibly busy, but because we prepared well in advance for the start of the season, it has meant that we have continued to fly millions of happy holidaymakers to and from their destinations as planned. Thanks to our dedicated teams, who are continuing to work tirelessly to provide the best customer service in the industry, we have once again outperformed other UK airlines and operated every single flight during the peak summer season.”
