Jet2 want more focused flying programme

26.07.08

The boss of Leeds Bradford Airport based budget airline Jet2 said that it needs a ‘more focused’ flying programme to help it combat the current challenging economic climate. However, Philip Meeson, chief executive of Jet2s parent - Dart Group - has pledged to continue to invest in both the airline and its holiday arm Jet2holidays.

Mr Meeson said: ‘The key to success in the scheduled low-cost travel market will increasingly be load factor, as the industry tackles both higher fuel prices and the proposed introduction of an aircraft departure tax to replace the current per passenger based Air Passenger Duty.'

‘With our fuel requirements fully hedged for the current year and with a more focused flying programme, we are well placed to improve financial performance in this financial year.’
