Jet2.com Limited is a British low-cost airline based at Leeds Bradford Airport, England, United Kingdom.

The company holds a United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority Type A Operating Licence to carry passengers, cargo and mail on aircraft with 20 or more seats.

The airline began operating commercial aircraft in 1983 under the name Channel Express, when it was purchased by the Dart Group's current Executive Chairman, Philip Meeson.

Later that year, the company acquired two Boeing 757–200 aircraft, enabling it to fly medium-long haul destinations as well as carrying more passengers on popular existing routes.

In 2010, the airline announced an eighth base at Glasgow Airport would be opened in April 2011, with an initial nine routes.

[citation needed] The airline further expanded by opening its eighth and ninth UK bases in March 2017 at Birmingham and London Stansted airports, the latter being its first in the southeast of England.

[citation needed] Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on aviation, Jet2.com announced they were suspending flight operations until at least 15 July 2020.

Construction of the facility broke ground in 2006, in order to accommodate pilots, cabin crew, and back of house operations.

In April 2013, Jet2.com moved its Customer Contact, Finance, IT, Human Resources, Commercial and Marketing departments to a new office, "Holiday House", located within the city centre of Leeds.

Jet2.com operates flights to 70 destinations in Europe, with a focus on Spain, the Mediterranean Sea, Bulgaria, France, Greece, Italy and Turkey.

In January 2025, the remaining Boeing 757s were phased out of the fleet, making Jet2.com the last airline in the UK to operate the passenger variant.
