Jet2’s bookings are growing in line with its 41% summer 2017 seat capacity increase, its parent company said today.
Philip Meeson, executive chairman of the Dart Group, told investors that despite airline ticket yields being lower than summer 2016, overall the Board expects the group to meet current market expectations of profit for the full year ending March 31.
“Demand for our higher margin package holiday products remains strong and holiday customer numbers as a proportion of total departing customers have increased slightly,” he said.
“It is particularly encouraging to report that our new London Stansted and Birmingham Airport operating bases are already proving popular, with over 1.3m passengers booked to fly with Jet2.com this summer, of which close to 50% have chosen a package holiday with Jet2holidays.”
He said the group would provide a further trading update when it releases its interim results on November 16.
