Jet2.com in the Driving Seat to Cut Fuel Costs

Jet2.com are looking to drive down the cost of fuel consumption with newly designed, light-weight seats on board their Boeing 757’s that have begun to arrive at East Midlands Airport.

The launch of the new streamlined seats, which are thought to enhance customer comfort as well as save space due to an ergonomically designed shape, coincided with the arrival of Jet2.com’s planes at East Midlands. This summer Jet2.com are launching cheap flights to 7 new destinations – Corfu, Dalaman, Heraklion, Lanzarote, Paphos, Sharm el Sheikh and Tenerife - starting from 19 May.

As well as driving down the cost of fuel consumption, the extended list of resorts is expected to create 200 new jobs.

“A huge difference both to customer experience and fuel consumption”

The light-weight seats are expected to shave 500 kilos off an average 229-seat Boeing 757 which means greater savings for customers and less fuel consumption. They will also create more legroom so you can stretch out in comfort on your cheap flights with Jet2.com.

Managing director Ian Doubtfire said: “The seating is a great in-road for us and will make a huge difference both to customer experience and fuel consumption – meaning that we can save our customers money and reduce environmental impact at the same time.”
