Transatlantic Jet2

Part of Dart Group Plc, Jet2 is to introduce a series of North Atlantic flights next spring, described as “experimental”.  Initially on offer will be Boston from Glasgow and Leeds Bradford plus New York and Toronto from Leeds Bradford and Newcastle, the dates carefully chosen to integrate with particular festivities the other side of “The Pond”.

Boeing 757s in an all Economy 229-seat layout will be used for the services.  Essentially these are leisure flights of fixed duration but the airline made it clear that the services could be extended dependent on the public's reaction.

Steve Heapy, Chief Executive Officer of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: “Today certainly marks a milestone for Jet2holidays with the expansion of our transatlantic routes.  We are very excited with the launch of Boston and Toronto plus the introduction of Easter trips to New York, following the success of our Christmas Shopping Weekends”. www.jet2.com
