Jet2 makes major surcharges announcement ahead of summer

Budget airline Jet2, which has been operating out of Bournemouth Airport since February 2025, has announced today it will not introduce surcharges on any booked flights or holidays to cover cost increases, for example jet fuel, assuring customers that "the price they book is the price they will pay".

The airline and tour operator said it has removed the surcharge provision across all bookings, even though the company has never previously applied it.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2, said: “Holidaymakers should have every right to book their hard-earned break in the sun, without worrying about being hit with additional costs, and they can have that complete assurance when they book a flight or holiday with Jet2.

"As a result of today’s announcement, customers booking with Jet2 know that they are locking in their price without additional cost surprises later and we strongly believe that is the right thing to do by them.

"Ahead of a busy summer this is yet more evidence of why, on top of our incredible holidays and award-winning customer service, nothing beats a Jet2holiday.”
