20 Million is the Lucky Number for Jet2.com

Jet2.com has celebrated 20 million passengers this week (13th April 2010) by showering a lucky couple with VIP treatment, reserved for very special occasions.

Keith Moffat booked his flights from Manchester Airport but wasn’t aware of what lie in wait. Mr. Moffat and his wife Julia were welcomed by Jet2.com Managing Director, Ian Doubtfire, given champagne and will now be able to enjoy free return flights to all 29 of Manchester’s destinations.

It’s pretty good timing after Salzburg was added just this week to the existing collection of destinations from Manchester Airport. Already this year they have added exciting places like Reus, Kos, Prague and Sharm el Sheikh to the list of destinations from the airport.

Timely Celebrations for Jet2.com

The celebrations come at a time when Jet2.com mark five years at Manchester Airport and will welcome their five millionth customer to the airport this year. It is also predicted that 2010 will be a busy year for Jet2.com at Manchester Airport with two new planes and 200 flights per week likely to see over a million people fly with Jet2.com in the year.

However, not all will get the same welcome as the Moffat’s did. Mr. Doubtfire said: “Welcoming our 20 millionth passenger on-board gives us a huge cause for celebration and really is a significant step in the history of the airline which launched only eight years ago.

“This year is also very important for us at Manchester and marks another milestone in our history. Ten brand new routes from Manchester, two new aircraft and a projected one million passengers this year are some fantastic stats and underline our growth and commitment to this airport.”
