Jet2 respond in fuel surcharge row  
European Airlines | Jet2  
   

Jet2, the budget airline based in Leeds Bradford Airport has introduced fuel surcharges on its flights. This move follows though its boss recently assured that the airline has bought fuel for the next twelve months at attractive rates. This has been reported in the Yorkshire Evening Press. But on the other hand, the airline has responded to criticisms that it has sincerely tried its best to avoid the extra cost by assuring the passengers that it is now up front with passengers regarding the full cost of its flights.

While responding to the claims that the airline is in the danger of busting because of rising fuel costs, Philip Meeson, the chief executive of Jet2 observed, "Jet2 has bought all its fuel for this summer, this coming winter and next summer at attractive rates. Our passengers can rely upon us for many, many years to come. But that hasn't stopped the airline from bringing in a fuel surcharge, which varies depending on the distance of the flight involved."

According to a spokesman for the airline, it appears that the airline has ensured that all the fares advertised on its website and in the press henceforth include all taxes and charges. He too noted that the fuel surcharges had been introduced only recently and that the amount charged varied according to the distance of the flight and hence the amount of fuel used. However, the fact as to why the surcharge had been introduced despite the boss's earlier comments has still not been clarified.

European Airlines | Jet2

Jet2holidays cuts customer deposits to try to increase sales  
European Airlines | Jet2  
   

Jet2holidays has reduced the amount by two-third that the travellers have to give as a deposit, which is from £150 to £50 per booking. The Leeds Bradford Airport installed tour operator – portion of the budget airline Jet2 - is discarding its strategy of questioning customers for second-level deposits closer to the date of departure.

General manager Mandy Round says: 'We understand how expensive Christmas can be for families which can make January booking prohibitively expensive for some. With our new low deposit rate we're allowing families who, in the past, may have missed out on the bargains, the chance to join the January and February rush for holiday bookings'.

'We have removed the complicated process of initial deposits and second-level payments meaning if, for some reason the customer has to cancel, they only lose the single fee of £50. We are also getting rid of the rather odd tactic of requesting second-level deposits prior to departure. This is extremely common within the industry, but we believe this 'loan' from customer to holiday company is unnecessary and out-of-date and we are calling on all tour operators to match our move'.

Jet2 denies controversy about TV ads  
European Airlines | Jet2  
   

Budget airline Jet2.com has flatly denied their latest TV campaign takes a rise out of Salford for being uninteresting. The company's adverts appear to mark the city as 'dullsville' alongside locations like Ramsbottom and Ashton.

John Merry, leader of the Salford City Council said, "I hope their pilots are better at geography than their advertising company. If they had actually bothered to visit Salford they wouldn't have been so dismissive".

Merry continued saying, "This is the city which has everything from a world-class cultural centre to a five-star hotel and great nightlife to miles of open space and waterways, and everything in between".

Jet.com scathes seaside towns

Weather compulsions have forced companies, launching a television campaign that paints English and Northern Irish towns and seaside resorts as dull and drab. A declaration made for seaside towns and scorned in ads of low cost airline Jet2.com reveals a scathing remark on these towns. The campaigns are going to seriously disturb the tourism industries of these towns.

The ads directly attack towns such as Southport, Salford and Runcorn, with strap lines such as "Stuck again in Stockport?" or "Another swinging night out in Salford?" "The sun and sand of Marbella bears contrast with the landscape".

The airline has a comprehensive policy campaigning including 20 various executions that will run in areas close to jet2.com's bases.

Important and famous towns such as Leeds, Bradford, Manchester, Belfast International, Newcastle and Blackpool form part of its bases.
