Overview
- Jet2 unveiled a specially reconfigured Boeing 737-800NG that flew its first charter customers Thursday and is now based at Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
- The cabin replaces the standard 189-seat layout with 76 business-class seats that offer a minimum of 43 inches of legroom to increase space per passenger.
- Jet2 says the aircraft is aimed at sports teams, music and entertainment groups and other specialist charter clients and is available for winter bookings.
- Passengers are promised upgraded, personalised catering and service from Jet2.com's award-winning crew, and the airline reports customer feedback has been described as "exceptional."
- All-business cabins are a niche market served by carriers such as La Compagnie, and Jet2’s move may let it capture higher-margin group charters without changing its regular scheduled low-cost services.
