Jet2 PLC (AIM:JET2) said holidaymakers are booking later, especially for flight-only deal deals, but revenues stormed ahead last year regardless.
Profits at the package holiday giant rose by 43% to £428 million in the year to March 2024, with revenues up 24% at £6.25 billion helped by an 11% increase in package holiday prices to £830 on average.
For the current year, Jet2 said customers would see modest increases while trading overall was in line with forecasts.
"Summer 2024 on sale seat capacity is currently 12.3% higher than Summer 2023 at 17.16m seats.
"Booked-to-date Package Holiday customers are up by 7%, representing 72% of overall flown passengers, with Flight-Only passengers increasing by 16%. Consequently average load factor is currently 73.4% (2023: 75.2%).
“Given the late booking profile and the peak summer months of July, August and September not yet complete, plus the majority of Winter 2024/2025 seat capacity still to sell, it remains premature to provide definitive guidance,” said the statement.
