Jet2 Curtails In-Flight Food and Retail After Catering Disruption

The airline links the temporary cuts to an operational issue outside its control.

Overview

  • Jet2 told customers some flights had no onboard food, drinks or Jet2shop sales after an external operational issue, leaving some unable to buy snacks, soft drinks or duty-free items.
  • The carrier cancelled pre-booked meals and said refunds are being issued automatically to the original payment method, typically within three to five working days.
  • Passengers were advised they could bring cold snacks and soft drinks bought after security, though hot food and hot drinks are not allowed for safety reasons.
  • Local reports point to a problem at Jet2’s Middlewich Retail Operations Centre, which stocks the catering trolleys used on flights across the network.
  • Jet2 says its full onboard offering should return in the coming days, which would ease pressure for summer holiday travelers using hubs such as Stansted.
