Jet2 has reassured its customers that it will not impose surcharges on flights and holidays this winter despite rising fuel costs.
The UK’s third-largest airline has reiterated its commitment to not charging customers fuel surcharges after booking package holidays or flights.
The renewed commitment for its winter 2026/27 schedule comes as millions of people plan their winter sun, Christmas market and ski breaks.
While the company has never applied surcharges to its bookings, Jet2 was the first UK airline and tour operator to make this commitment earlier this year.
The commitment was first made in May, when Jet2 removed its surcharge provision policy altogether.
The guarantee will also continue to apply to all flights and holidays across all seasons on sale, including summer 2027, winter 2027/28 and summer 2028.
David Hills, chief customer officer at Jet2, said: “Customers work and save hard for their holidays, so they deserve certainty from the moment they book.
“As they plan their getaways this winter and beyond, we are reaffirming our No Fuel Surcharges guarantee and making it clear that the price customers book with Jet2 is the price they will pay, with no fuel surcharge added later.
“That reassurance applies to all customers booking with Jet2, whatever time of year they choose to travel, making now the perfect time to book that well-deserved holiday.”
Jet2’s announcement follows reports that other airlines are making cuts to tackle rising fuel costs, largely driven by the conflict in the Middle East.
Fuel prices have soared since the Iran conflict began in February, with jet fuel costs roughly doubled.
EasyJet is set to cut an additional 700,000 seats from its winter flight schedule to fight the increasing cost of fuel.
EasyJet typically offers around 50 million seats across the winter season, which runs from October to the end of March.
The 700,000 seats are equivalent to around two days’ worth of flying.
Meanwhile, Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary predicted this month that travellers will face the biggest increase in airfares “in history” next year.
Mr O'Leary claimed that, in a matter of months, fewer plane seats will be available because of bankruptcies and takeovers among airlines, and that, together with unhedged positions, fares could rise by as much as 20 per cent.
