Jet2 also offers a [[Air charter|charter service]] through its Jet2charters brand.

==History==
===Origins===
Jet2.com Limited is a subsidiary of [[Jet2 plc]], an aviation services group. The airline began operating commercial aircraft in 1983 under the name '''[[Channel Express]]''', when it was purchased by the Dart Group's current Executive Chairman, Philip Meeson. Initially a freight operator, from 2001, the airline also began operating passenger charter services using [[Boeing]] aircraft to international destinations on mainly short and medium-haul routes.

===Formative years===
[[File:Boeing 737-377, Jet2 AN1978375.jpg|thumb|A Jet2.com [[Boeing 737 Classic]] in the former livery in 2011.|alt=]]
In 2002, [[Channel Express]] established the Jet2.com brand from [[Leeds Bradford Airport]]. The re-branded Jet2.com began operating as a leisure airline with its first flight from Leeds Bradford to [[Amsterdam]] on 12 February 2003, which operated a twice-daily rotation with two [[Boeing 737 Classic|Boeing 737–300]] aircraft. During 2003, further scheduled flights were launched to seven European sun and city break destinations.

In 2004, a second base was opened at [[Manchester Airport]] with the airline operating from Terminal 1. The airline also acquired further Boeing 737 and 757 aircraft and opened a base at [[Belfast International Airport]]. In 2005, Jet2.com opened a third base at [[Newcastle International Airport|Newcastle upon Tyne]]. Later that year, the company acquired two [[Boeing 757|Boeing 757–200]] aircraft, enabling it to fly medium-long haul destinations as well as carrying more passengers on popular existing routes. These aircraft helped the company to open two more bases at [[Blackpool Airport|Blackpool]] and [[Edinburgh Airport|Edinburgh]]. In 2006, the company relocated from [[Bournemouth Airport|Bournemouth]] to [[Leeds Bradford Airport|Leeds]] and was renamed Jet2.com Limited.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/b5eb00126cd2a251a7e4256abf67587c/compdetails |title=Companies House – English Company 02739537 |publisher=Wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk |access-date=26 January 2013}}</ref>

=== Expansion ===
In November 2008, Jet2.com changed its slogan from "The North's Low Cost Airline" to "Friendly Low Fares".{{citation needed|date=May 2024}} This preceded the announcement of opening a hub at [[East Midlands Airport]], the first of the airline's hubs outside the North of England and Scotland. The base at East Midlands Airport opened in May 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8226042.stm |title=BBC – New airline routes promise jobs |work=BBC News |date=28 August 2009 |access-date=26 January 2013}}</ref>

During November and December 2008, the airline operated four direct flights from Leeds Bradford to [[Newark Liberty International Airport]] using Boeing 757–200s, with a series of flights also planned from both Leeds Bradford and Newcastle during December 2010. Once again, Jet2.com re-introduced seasonal Christmas flights to [[New York City|New York]] during the 2012 winter season; however, this time, flights would operate from Glasgow, East Midlands and Newcastle, in addition to Leeds. The seasonal flights to New York continued annually until 2019 and ran from five of its UK bases.<ref>{{cite web|title= Jet2 announce Newcastle to New York flights to return for winter 2020|date=24 October 2019 |url=https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/jet2-new-york-newcastle-airport-17139265|access-date=13 June 2023}}</ref> As an effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, the airline cancelled their seasonal trips which they have not returned as of today. Unfortunately, they will most likely never return as the airline has retired all their [[Boeing 757]] aircraft which were formerly used to run those trips, and the non-LR variant of the [[Airbus A321neo]] replacing the Boeing 757 does not have enough range to cover those trips.

In 2010, the airline announced an eighth base at [[Glasgow Airport]] would be opened in April 2011, with an initial nine routes.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jet2.com/News.aspx?id=774 |title=Jet2.com gets hypnotic with Derren Brown |access-date=14 September 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100916175556/http://www.jet2.com/News.aspx?id=774 |archive-date=16 September 2010 }}</ref> The base was opened on 31 March, slightly earlier than scheduled. In January 2011, the airline introduced second-hand [[Boeing 737 Next Generation|Boeing 737–800]] aircraft into its fleet. This provided aircraft larger than its existing 737-300s yet smaller than its 757-200 aircraft.

Jet2.com carried more than 600,000 passengers in its first year of operation and more than nine million passengers during 2017, its highest recorded total.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.caa.co.uk/Data-and-analysis/UK-aviation-market/Airlines/Datasets/UK-Airline-data/2017/Airline-data-annual-reports-2017/|title=Airline data annual reports 2017 {{!}} UK Civil Aviation Authority|website=www.caa.co.uk|access-date=6 February 2019}}</ref>

On 17 September 2016, the airline received its first brand new Boeing 737–800 of the order for thirty made in 2015.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.derbyshiretimes.co.uk/news/jet2-takes-delivery-of-new-aircraft-as-part-of-east-mids-airport-expansion-plans-1-8131972 |title=Jet2 takes delivery of new aircraft as part of East Mids Airport expansion plans |website=Derbyshire Times |publisher=Johnston Publishing Ltd. |date=17 September 2016 |access-date=20 September 2016}}</ref> In November 2016, Jet2.com opened its new maintenance hangar at Manchester Airport. In December 2016, Jet2.com announced that it had ordered a further four Boeing 737–800 aircraft, bringing the total on order to 34.{{citation needed|date=March 2024}} The airline further expanded by opening its eighth and ninth UK bases in March 2017 at [[Birmingham Airport|Birmingham]] and [[London Stansted Airport|London Stansted]] airports, the latter being its first in the southeast of England.<ref>https://www.jet2.com/news/2017/03/Jet2_com_and_Jet2holidays_take_off_at_TWO_NEW_bases#:~:text=Leading%20leisure%20airline%20and%20package,Airport)%20on%20the%20same%20day.</ref> These have since expanded significantly to become the airline's largest UK bases after Manchester.<ref>https://www.jet2.com/news/2024/09/Jet2_com_and_Jet2holidays_launch_biggest_ever_Summer_programme_for_2026</ref>

=== Recent years ===
In 2019, Jet2.com received delivery of its 34th new Boeing 737–800 aircraft, taking its permanent and leased fleet size to more than 100 aircraft.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.travelweekly.co.uk/articles/326102/jet2com-celebrates-delivery-of-100th-aircraft|title=Jet2.com celebrates delivery of 100th aircraft|work=Travel Weekly|date=11 March 2019|access-date=19 March 2019}}</ref> Also, in 2019, Jet2.com carried a record 14.39 million passengers on 82,931 flights. This was an increase of more than 18% on the year before.{{citation needed|date=July 2020}}

Owing to the [[Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on aviation|COVID-19 pandemic's impact on aviation]], Jet2.com announced they were suspending flight operations until at least 15 July 2020. The airline continued to operate repatriation flights for British citizens overseas. On 17 August 2020, Jet2 announced via [[British Airline Pilots' Association|BALPA]] that they would be laying off 102 pilots from various UK bases due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>{{cite web|date=17 August 2020|title=Jet2 is making over 100 pilots redundant at its UK bases|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/jet2-uk-airline-pilots-redundant-jobs-balpa-a9673851.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220608/https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/jet2-uk-airline-pilots-redundant-jobs-balpa-a9673851.html |archive-date=8 June 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|access-date=19 August 2020|website=The Independent}}</ref> On 11 November 2020, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays announced that they would open their tenth United Kingdom base at [[Bristol Airport]] on 1 July 2021, operating to 33 destinations.

In August 2021, Jet2.com announced an order for 36 [[Airbus A321neo]] aircraft, plus 24 options, totalling an order for 60 planes.<ref>{{Cite web |date=10 October 2024 |title=Jet2.com orders 36 A321neos, becoming a new Airbus customer |url=https://www.airbus.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2021-08-jet2com-orders-36-a321neos-becoming-a-new-airbus-customer |access-date=10 October 2024 |website=Airbus}}</ref> Although Jet2 has operated a small number of Airbus jets on lease to cope with summer demand, this is Airbus' first direct order from Jet2, and a clear shift away from the company's traditionally all-[[Boeing]] fleet.{{citation needed|date=March 2024}}

Jet2.com celebrated its 20th birthday on 12 February 2023. On the same day, it was revealed that Jet2holidays had become the UK's largest tour operator with an ATOL license to carry 5.8m passengers, surpassing TUI's 5.3m.<ref name=":1" /> On 16 May 2023, Jet2 announced they were opening their eleventh UK base at [[Liverpool John Lennon Airport]]. In June 2023, Jet2 have announced an expansion to their 2024 summer season, with some destinations being made available from earlier months, and extra capacity for other destinations.

===Fleet development===
In October 2021, Jet2.com announced that they had placed an order with [[Airbus]] to purchase multiple [[Airbus A321neo]] aircraft.<ref>{{cite web |title=Aircraft Order |url=https://otp.tools.investis.com/clients/uk/jet2/rns/regulatory-story.aspx?cid=2613&newsid=1514683}}</ref> In July 2022, Jet2.com further announced that they had expanded their order with Airbus, ordering a total of 60 A321neo aircraft.<ref>{{cite news |title=UK's Jet2 bumps A321neo order to 60 |newspaper=Ch-Aviation |url=https://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/117490-uks-jet2-bumps-a321neo-order-to-60}}</ref> In October 2022, Jet2.com announced an additional order for 35 [[Airbus A320neo]] aircraft;<ref>{{cite web |title=Jet2 Orders 35 Airbus A320neo Aircraft |url=https://www.theaeroguys.com/articles/aviation-updates/jet2-orders-35-airbus-a320neo-aircraft}}</ref> however, in July 2024, this order was converted into the larger A321neo, and later that month, Jet2.com exercised its remaining aircraft options with Airbus taking the total order up to 146 A321neo aircraft. These aircraft are intended to increase the fleet size along with replacing older 737-300 and 757-200 aircraft. In January 2025, the remaining Boeing 757s were phased out of the fleet with Jet2.com being the last UK airline to operate the passenger variant.<ref name="UK's Jet2 retires B757-200 fleet">{{cite web|title=UK's Jet2 retires B757-200 fleet|url=https://www.ch-aviation.com/news/149112-uks-jet2-retires-b757-200-fleet|access-date=9 January 2025|website=ch-aviation.com}}</ref><ref name=investis.com>{{Cite web |title=Aircraft Order |url=https://otp.tools.investis.com/clients/uk/jet2/rns/regulatory-story.aspx?cid=2613&newsid=1503852 |access-date=22 March 2024 |website=otp.tools.investis.com}}</ref>
