Jet2 cuts winter capacity amid ‘difficult market’

Airline and tour operator group Jet2 is cutting back its winter flight programme citing a ‘difficult market.’

It also said projected earnings will be at the lower end of forecasts.

It is trimming seat capacity by about 200,000 to 5.6 million for the 2025/26 winter season.

However, this is still an increase on last winter.

It bemoaned a ‘less certain consumer environment’ with the market booking even closer to the departure date than previously estimated.

In the five months through August 2025, flight only traffic was up 17% while package holiday passenger numbers grew just 2%.

The profit warning saw the share price dip at least 13% in early trading.
