Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have announced their plan to recommence flights by 17 June.

The airline operator has said that this decision will be kept under “constant review” in line with the Government’s guidance when it comes to travel during the coronavirus pandemic.

The news comes after the FCO announced on the weekend that it would be extending its advice against all overseas travel from up to 15 April to indefinitely.

In a statement, Jet2holidays said: “In view of the ongoing uncertainty caused by the covid-19 pandemic, we have taken the decision to recommence our flights and holidays programme on June 17th.

“We are keeping this decision under constant review, in line with guidance from Governments and the relevant authorities.

“Customers who were due to travel before this date do not need to contact us. We are proactively contacting customers in departure date order to discuss their options, one of which is rebooking their holiday to a later date.

“We know just how important holidays are to our customers, and how much they give customers something to look forward to, particularly during difficult times such as these.

“We recognise that these unprecedented events have had a huge impact on our customers, and we would like to thank them for their loyalty, understanding and patience.

Although these are difficult times for everyone, the sun will come out again. When it does, our award-winning teams will be there to take customers on holiday – a well-deserved package holiday they can trust – once again.”

Last week, Jet2 donated thousands of snack boxes after flights were grounded to help charities support the elderly and the homeless in Greater Manchester and Yorkshire.
