Jet2 celebrates a year of oeprating from Liverpool Airport

Friday saw Jet2 celebrate a year of operating from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL/EGGP), and it did so by awarding free flights to lucky random passengers.

The passengers who got a pair of free return flights included Paula and Billy Lane from Kirkby, who were awarded the prize whilst checking in for their flight.

Paula said: “This has been the absolutely perfect start to my holiday. This is my first time travelling with Jet2 from Liverpool John Lennon Airport and their team were just brilliant, making the morning a real celebration. I cannot wait to book and travel with them again!”

Since launching operations at the airport, Jet2 has seen thousands of passengers fly off, prompting it to launch an expanded second summer season with a total of 23 destinations.

New destinations for Jet2 from Liverpool include Malaga, Malta and Reus

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: “Our first year of operations at Liverpool John Lennon Airport has surpassed all expectations, with the reaction from customers and independent travel agents being nothing short of phenomenal. Our award-winning customer service has had an enormous impact on customers, and the response has enabled us to put more seats and destinations on sale, giving local holidaymakers even more choice.”

He added: “It was fantastic to celebrate our first anniversary this morning and we are looking ahead with enormous confidence at Liverpool John Lennon Airport. Our team of brilliant colleagues continue to deliver the best service in the industry, and I know they are looking forward to a fantastic summer taking customers away on their well-deserved holidays.”

Paul Winfield, Director of Aviation for Liverpool Airport added: “The decision by Jet2.com and Jet2holidays to start operations from Liverpool has been a significant boost for us with hundreds of thousands of passengers choosing to travel with them on flights via Liverpool over the past 12 months, traveling to 23 destinations across seven countries. We expect this year to be even busier and look forward to welcoming more Jet2.com and Jet2holidays customers, all taking advantage of our Faster Easier Friendlier passenger experience combined with Jet2.com and Jet2holidays’ award-winning customer service.”
