The annual Globe Travel Awards are regarded as the pinnacle of the travel industry calendar with travel agents and industry professionals nominating and voting for the most deserving travel companies across eight different categories. The cream of the British travel industry gathered at Grosvenor House hotel in London for the ceremony where Jet2.com proudly beat Air France/KLM, British Airways, easyJet, and Lufthansa to win the Short Haul Airline category.

 
Steve Heapy, Chief Commercial Officer of Jet2.com, said: “We are delighted to be named Best Short Haul Airline at the Globe Travel Awards for the second year running, beating the likes of British Airways and easyJet. This industry recognition is also a fantastic testament to the on-going commitment of Jet2.com staff who make it possible for passengers to travel to some of Europe’s finest destinations”.

Jet2.com now fly to more than 50 sun, city and ski destinations, giving our loyal customers more choice than ever. Added with our great flight times, allocated seating and industry-leading 22kg baggage allowance, we make sure that flying with us is always an incredible experience.”
 
The Globe Travel Award will be added to a trophy cabinet that’s become considerably bigger over the past year.
