Jet2 delays date for restarting holidays and flights

Jet2 has pushed back the date for when it will restart flights and holidays.

The company had said it was to resume flights and holidays on July 1 .

The company said in a statement last month: "We have said throughout that the sun will shine again and when it does, we will be there to take customers away on their well-deserved holidays."

But in an updated statement today the tour operator said it would not be restarting until July 15.

A spokesperson said: "In view of the ongoing travel restrictions that are in place as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, we have taken the decision to recommence our flights and holidays programme on July 15th.

"The health and safety of our customers and colleagues is our absolute priority, and we are continuing to monitor the situation very closely.

"We know there is a lot of pent-up demand for our award-winning flights and holidays, and we cannot wait to take customers away on their well-deserved holidays again."

Jet2 said that customers who were due to travel before July 15th do not need to contact them as they are "proactively" contacting them to discuss options.

The spokesperson added: "One of which is rebooking their holiday to a later date.

"We know just how important holidays are to our customers, and how much they give customers something to look forward to, particularly after a difficult time such as this.

"If a customer has a booking that is due to depart on or after July 15th, the booking is subject to our normal terms and conditions.

"We are working closely with all relevant authorities to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone enjoying our flights and holidays, and we will be introducing a range of safety measures on our aircraft and transfer vehicles.

"We are also working closely with airport, hotel and tourist board partners to ensure that appropriate health and safety measures are implemented.

"Further details will be announced in due course."

Ryanair plans to operate 40% of its normal schedule from July 1 and Jet2.com is resuming its flying programme on the same date.

British Airways is due to launch “a meaningful return to service” in July.
