Jet2.com and Jet2holidays is celebrating the arrival of the 100th aircraft into its fleet.
The company has just taken delivery of the last of 34 brand new Next Generation 737-800 aircraft from Boeing.
The aircraft, which seats 189 passengers, was handed over to Jet2.com and Jet2holidays at a ceremony at Boeing’s Seattle Delivery Centre in the United States.
The aircraft will be fitted with special finishing touches in the UK, including bespoke seating, before coming into operation in the next few weeks.
Six lucky winners joined the celebrations, after winning a social media competition hosted by Jet2.com and Jet2holidays.
Tyler and Declan Adams from Bishop Auckland, Gareth Brown and Amy Anderson from Edinburgh, and Mark Jones and Nicholas Heyes from Cheshire, were chosen from more than 2,000 entries after submitting a video entry explaining why they deserved to win a place on a once-in-lifetime four-night trip to Seattle.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said operating a fleet on this scale means they can continue to increase capacity, offering holidaymakers more choice and flexibility than ever before when it comes to getting to Europe, the Canary Islands and the Mediterranean.
“As well as continuing to grow, we have never lost our unwavering focus on providing the very best in class when it comes to customer service and customer experience, and our track record of high-profile award wins shows we are getting this right.
“Our brand new aircraft mean we continue to build on this success, providing more comfort in an enhanced cabin interior for customers on their well-deserved holidays,” he added.
