Jet2 are doing fine with their gradual expansion southwards. They will not enter the risky Long Haul market for the foreseeable.
Laker Airways expanded too fast and was destroyed by BA in particular all those years ago.
Get all your bricks in place before reaching too far!.

They could get into long haul by selling long haul holidays using other airlines. Potentially a lot less riskier.

 

[Ray Finkle]

There was an interview with (I think it was) Steve Heapy who said they wouldn't totally rule out long haul but if they do decide to go down that route it wouldn't be anytime soon.

If, and it's a huge IF, it does happen then I can see it being centred around Jet2 Holidays with the likes of Orlando, Cancun, Dominican Republic and Jamaica. I wouldn't expect anything soon though, especially with the state of the world at the moment.

I think we'll continue to see increases in the European holiday market and hopefully there will be scope for the likes of Kavala, Samos, La Palma, Porto Santo, Varna, more in Italy, Cape Verde, Tunisia etc to be added to the network. Maybe one or two surprises too, I mean who saw Jerez coming?

I didn’t mention anything dramatic mate.

Long haul is dramatic for Jet2.
Remember, airlines are still recovering from the worldwide pandemic.

 

[gulftraveller]

I wonder whether there will be much expansion in 2025. Predictions are that people will continue to tighten their belts. Already we are seeing cries of anguish from Spanish and Greek tourism authorities, Turkey likewise, over empty hotel rooms. Anti tourism protests do not help.

 

[tompo]

I totally agree with Gulftraveller. I recently cancelled a particular hotel in Istanbul in preference for one in a slightly better location. During our travels over the last few decadesI I have done this numerous times. However, for the first time ever, the hotel management wrote to me asking for the rationale of my decision and almost pleading to restore the booking. To me, this smacks of desperation and it does not look particularly positive in the short term. In my view, consolidation appears the safest option for airlines operating on the slimmest of margins.

Measured calculated expansion based on winning customers and gaining a loyal customer base which could include travel agents over 20 years in my opinion is not risky. Knowing that many travel agents are asking Jet2 to go long haul.

Nice to see Jerez go up to 2x weekly and I think this is the first time that we've seen Barcelona up to 4x weekly.

I'm sure there will be changes between now and 2026.

 

[rollo]

Suggested on another forum by someone who is also on F4A and very much in the know on these things S26 will see Jet2 add 2 additional based bringing them up to 18 units.

Birmingham is going to need more stands in 2026 surely if all the growth continues at the moment in 2026 we might have 18 LS aircraft ,11 or 12 BY ,10 FR and EZY 5 aircraft plus the night stopping from LH,KL and AF

 

[rollo]

Never mind more stands a working escalator or two would be nice.

Seven could be about right. Word is there could be as many as nine but I'd definitely be happy with seven.
