Jet2 said on Thursday that its summer bookings are up year on year as the airline handles higher costs from the Middle East conflict. The Leeds-based firm lifted its fuel hedging to 93% at an average price of $753 and plans to list on the London Stock Exchange main market. The company also reported an 8.8% increase in booked-to-date passengers for summer 2026.
