Jet2 has signalled it is on course to meet full-year profit expectations as customers have increasingly plumped for package holidays over separate flights this summer.
The Leeds-based airline and package holiday firm said package holidaymakers made up a higher proportion of all departing passengers with sales now only slightly behind pre-Covid levels. Jet2 founder and boss Philip Meeson also said the travel chaos caused by an "inexcusable" lack of preparedness among airport operators and suppliers had "abated significantly".
Mr Meeson, who was previously highly critical of airport operators, said customers were now leaving it later than before to book travel and described winter sales as "satisfactory".
