Jet2 PLC

Jet2 reports an 8.8% passenger increase for summer 2026 and a 7.6% capacity expansion versus the prior year, along with higher load factors. For winter 2026/27 the airline plans capacity up 8%, with growth focused on London Gatwick. The board announced a planned stock market switch from AIM to the Main Market, which could enable possible FTSE inclusion; operating metrics, a share buyback and positive analyst consensus support the share price. » More on de.investing.com

Jet2 said summer bookings are up 7.1% year-on-year and average load factor has risen 1.2 percentage points, with strongest rebounds in Turkey, Cyprus, the eastern Greek islands, Bulgaria and parts of north Africa. CEO Steve Heapy attributed the recovery to customers delaying purchases during the Middle East conflict and now returning to book holidays. The company noted some EU border-control delays at continental airports but said no Jet2 flights left passengers behind. » More on theguardian.com

Jet2 called for a UK-wide database to prevent disruptive passengers from flying with other carriers after an Antalya–London flight diverted to Sofia when two passengers became unruly. The airline has banned the pair for life, said it will seek to recover costs, and emphasized a zero-tolerance policy. Airlines face rising operational and financial disruption from such incidents, which can force costly diversions and schedule knock-on effects. » More on travel.yahoo.com
