Jet2 puts back its restart date for flights by two weeks

Airline and package holiday operator Jet2 has put back the resumption of flights to 15 July.

The travel firm had previously announced it would aim to restart on 1 July but said today it delay until two weeks later and would contact customers about their bookings.

On the Jet2 website, flights from Edinburgh and Glasgow to most destinations, including the south of Spain, Canaries and Majorca, are not showing as available until mid July.

A Jet2 spokesperson said: "In view of the ongoing travel restrictions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, we have taken the decision to recommence our flights and holidays programme on July 15.

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

General In Your Area Widget Holidaymakers are entitled to a full refund, but can also choose to postpone their trips.

"If you're travelling before this date, unfortunately, your booking will be affected as our flights and holidays won't be operating," the spokesperson added.

"We're contacting all affected customers about their options, including how to amend bookings to a later date, so if you were due to travel before 1 July 2020, we'll be in touch.

"We know just how much a well-deserved getaway means to you and how much it gives you something to look forward to, particularly during difficult times such as these."
