Jet2holidays is flying high yet again, after picking up two awards at the 26th annual Northern Ireland Travel and Tourism Awards.
Hot on the heels of becoming the second largest tour operator in the UK, we collected the awards for Best Tour Operator to Europe and Best Travel Industry Internet Booking System.
The 26th Anniversary Awards were the biggest since the Awards’ inception in 1991 and were hosted by TV-star Alexander Armstrong at the Slieve Donard Resort and Spa. You can see the Jet2holidays trade team pictured here with Alexander.
Next summer will see Jet2.com and Jet2holidays operate our biggest ever summer programme from Belfast International Airport, with more flights and holidays on sale than ever before. In total, we will operate to 22 sun and city hotspots direct from Belfast International Airport during Summer 18. This includes eight brand new destinations: Antalya, Madeira, Crete, Costa de Almeria, Malta, Naples, Paphos and Rhodes.
All of this growth has created 30 new jobs at the airport, and will see an additional aircraft come into operation at the base next summer.
Alan Cross, Head of Trade at Jet2holidays said: “This is a strong show of support from the Northern Ireland travel industry and I am incredibly proud of these awards. Ahead of our biggest ever summer programme, with over 400,000 seats and more 2-5 star hotels on sale than ever before, there is no better testament to our partnership approach with independent travel agents than these two fantastic accolades.”
