The history of Jet2.com

Jet2.com has an illustrious history that spans over 30 years, with our roots lying in the commercial aircraft company Channel Express (Air Services).

Our name change to the much snappier Jet2.com occurred just a few months before our first leisure flight in February 2003. We launched from Leeds Bradford Airport, flying daily to and from Amsterdam. Things really took off for us from here – we carried 360,000 happy passengers in that first year. By September 2004, Jet2.com had carried 1 million passengers and we surpassed 20 million passengers in October 2010. In 2012, we carried over 4.7 million customers – our highest ever total. And everything’s still looking up for Jet2.com now!

Did you know that Jet2.com’s parent company, Dart Group PLC, has a prestigious legacy that stretches back more than 40 years? You can discover all about the riveting Dart Group History right here!
