Jet2 celebrates one year of flights from Liverpool John Lennon Airport

Jet2.com and Jet2holidays marked the first anniversary of operating award-winning flights and holidays from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA) this morning, by putting colleagues and customers at the heart of the celebrations.

The award-winning airline and tour operator marked exactly one year since the start of operations at Liverpool John Lennon Airport, by hosting a range of celebrations which included surprising random lucky customers with a pair of return flights from the airport. They included Paula and Billy Lane from Kirkby, who were surprised with free flights as they prepared to check-in this morning.

Jet2.com and Jet2holidays will operate to 23 destinations in Summer 25 from LJLA. This is an expanded programme which includes three brand-new destinations (Malaga, Malta and Reus) to meet the continued demand from customers and independent travel agents across the North West and North Wales.

This demand means that Jet2 will increase capacity at Liverpool John Lennon Airport by 28% this summer compared to last summer. An additional Boeing 737-800 aircraft will come into operation, meaning a fleet of five-based aircraft at the airport base for Summer 25.

Paul Winfield, Director of Aviation for LJLA commented:

“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.”

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.”
