JET2 has been named the Best Airline at a prestigious European awards ceremony.

The Routes Europe 2024 Awards, regarded as one of the key accolades in European aviation, took place on Monday at Aarhus in Denmark.

Jet2 was recognised by judges for its sustainable and responsible growth which has been driven by new routes - including more than 40 new ones for this summer.

Judges commended the airline for fleet growth and the launch of new UK airport bases.

Jet2 was also praised for its partnership approach to working with airport and tourism partners, as well as for offering customers unrivalled choice and flexibility.

Judges recognised the airline's customer satisfaction scores, something it has repeatedly won high-profile accolades for.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have won this prestigious award which recognises Jet2.com’s strength and success, as well as our industry-leading approach to supporting and working with airport and destination partners.”

He added: "The Routes Awards are truly global, so this accolade is outstanding evidence of the success of our business, our relentless focus on customer service, and our continued commitment to building long-term and mutually beneficial partnerships with airports and destinations."
