Earlier this month, Jet2 and Jet2holidays celebrated the arrival of its first brand-new Airbus A321neo aircraft.
Jet2 plc has purchased 98 firm-ordered Airbus A321/A320 neo aircraft, which could eventually extend to 146 aircraft if all options are taken up. With a capacity of 232 passengers, the new Airbus A321neo, the aircraft will enable Jet2 and Jet2holidays to grow more sustainably in line with the demand for leisure travel from the UK.
The new Airbus A321neo aircraft demonstrates Jet2’s commitment to sustainability and its vision to become one of the leading brands in sustainable air travel and package holidays, as they deliver an almost 20 per cent reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions per seat against previous generation single-aisle aircraft models.
Steve Heapy, CEO at Jet2 & Jet2holidays said: “The first of the brand-new Airbus A321 neo aircraft to come into operation this week is a real milestone in the history of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays. As more of these new aircraft come into our fleet, they will play a huge role in supporting our continued growth, whilst providing more choice, comfort and quality than ever before for our customers.”
He added: “As well as ensuring that we continue to deliver our award-winning customer experience, in our view the Airbus A321 neo is one of the most fuel-efficient aircraft in its class. As such, these aircraft are ensuring that we deliver a VIP customer service whilst further reducing emissions per passenger. This makes a very exciting time for Jet2 and Jet2holidays as we welcome the first of the brand-new aircraft into the fleet, and we look forward to welcoming even more customers onboard.”
