Jet2 speaks out on UK airport chaos and says staff shortages are not to blame

Jet2 has issued a defiant message to its customers as UK airports continue to struggle with demand. There have been chaotic scenes in airports such as Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) and other major hubs across the country, with big queues, delays and in some cases, cancellations.

Demand is surging with people able to travel abroad again after the Covid-19 pandemic and it is thought many passengers are making the most of vouchers given during lockdown. Staff shortages seem to be the main reason behind the issues, but Jet2 says none of its cancellations are down to staff shortages.

This week, Jet2 has sent out an email to customers urging them to make the most of a "last chance" bargain on flights. The airline has expanded its operation and is offering more summer and winter flights, with Jet2 keen to capitalise on the demand.
