Jet2 have issued an important update to customers on flights and holidays to Balearic and Canary Islands.
Here's the latest from the Leeds-based airline.
What have Jet2 said?
In a statement on Friday afternoon (August 7, 2020), Jet2 said: "As the [UK] government has not changed its advice regarding travel to the Balearic and Canary Islands from the UK, we have taken the decision to suspend flights and holidays to the Balearic and Canary Islands up to and including Saturday, August 15.
"Because of the uncertainty caused by the government's blanket ban approach when it comes to travelling to these destinations, we will have staggered start dates and will be making some additional adjustments to our flying programmes, meaning some flights on and beyond this date may be cancelled."
What will happen to customers affected by the changes?
A spokesperson from the airline added: "Where customers are affected by any programme changes, we will be contacting them directly to discuss options, including rebooking with no admin fee, a refund credit note or a full cash refund.
"For bookings due to travel to the Balearic and Canary Islands after the date outlined above, we will provide an additional update once we receive further information from the government."
The airline flies to the destinations from a number of airports across the UK:
- Tenerife
- Gran Canaria
- Fuerteventura
- Lanzarote
- Majorca
- Menorca

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
