Jet2 has changed flight cancellation coronavirus rules for NHS workers

Leeds-based holiday and flight operator Jet2.com has made a promise to all NHS staff bravely working to save people suffering from coronavirus.

The UK is gearing up for the peak of Covid-19, with the number of confirmed cases and deaths expected to increase in the coming days and weeks.

Thousands of NHS nurses and doctors are working tirelessly to save lives.

A holiday is probably the last thing on their minds right now, and with travel restrictions firmly in place no one is going anywhere soon.

However, Jet2.com has promised any NHS employee who has booked a holiday with them for April, May or June, will be able to switch the dates free of charge, as many times as necessary. The offer also extends to emergency service workers who are continuing to carry out essential work.

A spokesman for Jet2.com said: "To thank the brilliant NHS and emergency service workers, who are working tirelessly during this difficult time, Jet2.com has announced it will amend any planned holidays for April, May or June free of charge to ensure they get the holiday they deserve.

"Dates, destination and hotel can be amended as many times as needed all on Jet2.com. NHS staff and emergency service workers just need to contact a Jet2.com adviser and they will do the rest."

It is the latest promise made to the NHS workers, as companies offer all manner of rewards for their incredible work.

Leeds brewery Northern Monk handed out thousands of free beers to NHS workers at the weekend, while supermarkets have started operating key worker hours to allow doctors, nurses and paramedics to skip the queues.
