Demand review sees Jet2 cut Jersey-Manchester service

Friday 10 June 2022

Jet2 has withdrawn several of its Jersey services following a review of demand.

All flights between Jersey and Manchester have been cancelled from the end of the month onwards, and the airline has cut the number of flights from Jersey to Birmingham and London Stansted.

A spokesperson explained: “As a successful business that is quick to respond to demand, we continually review our flying programme and will make adjustments where required. This gives us the ability to add flights and holidays in response to demand, and very occasionally we may withdraw flights too.

“Following this latest review, we have taken the decision to withdraw some services to Jersey from Birmingham, London Stansted and Manchester Airports.”

They said cancellations were not due to staff shortages, adding: “We took action to recruit well ahead of the bounce back and as such we have a very visible uniformed presence (referred to as the Red Team) in our UK airports as well as in our main overseas airports and in resorts.

“This team are on hand, making an enormous difference in terms of assisting and guiding our customers through their journey with us.”

They said all affected customers would be contacted and receive a full refund.

Other routes are still operating.
