Elsewhere, Jet2.com edged out competition from fellow budget airlines such as easyJet and Ryanair to take home the title of Best Short-Haul Airline.

The Travel Weekly Globe Awards are widely acknowledged in the travel industry and recognise the best companies and individuals in a range of sectors as voted for by travel agents.

This year’s awards were based on tens of thousands of votes from frontline travel agents who recognised the suppliers who had done the most to support them during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Head of Trade at Jet2holidays Alan Cross said: “The Travel Weekly Globe Awards celebrate the very best in travel, with this year’s event showcasing the companies that truly care about working with independent travel agents.

"We are honoured to have won four awards and we would like to thank our independent travel agency partners, not only for voting for us, but for their continued support and partnership.

"With travel returning to normal, 2022 is the year that international travel bounces back strongly and our partnership to success approach has never been as important to us. "

He continued: "We are looking ahead with real confidence and our partnership approach continues to be at the heart of everything we do.”
