Jet2 offers fuel reassurance to Leeds Bradford holidaymakers
The boss of Jet2 has sought to reassure holidaymakers over jet fuel supply this summer.
Higher fuel costs due to the Iran war has led to concerns that holidays could be cancelled.
But Jet2 chief executive Steve Heapy said today (May 20) fuel suppliers have “reported increased production and additional imports from areas unaffected by the Middle East conflict”.
Me Heapy added:
We are in regular dialogue with our fuel suppliers, and the current picture is one of increased production and imports, meaning we continue to look ahead with confidence.
We have already been very clear about our plans to operate our schedule as normal this summer, and our message to holidaymakers is that summer is on.
The budget airline, which is based at Leeds Bradford Airport, last month confirmed it would not introduce surcharges on any booked flights or holidays to cover cost increases due to the conflict in the Middle East.
Jet2 has also promised customers “flexibility and swift refunds in the unlikely event of any flight or holiday cancellations”.
Mr Heapy added:
Everything is geared up and ready for a busy summer and we look forward to welcoming everybody onboard and creating fantastic memories with Jet2.
