30.10.07
Leeds Bradford Airport based budget airline Jet2 has been named 'Best Short Haul Airline' by readers of The Guardian and Observer, and users of the Guardian Unlimited website, for the second year running. The airline fought off competition from a number of other airlines, with Dutch airline KLM second and bmi third.
Ian Doubtfire, managing director of Jet2, said: 'This really is a fantastic achievement for us, made all the more special because it is voted for by the British public on key factors such as customer service and in-flight experience.'
'The award demonstrates that low cost does not have to mean cutting corners on the things that mean the most to passengers, such as customer service and punctuality. We have done this not just for a short period, but consistently, and that's why we're on top for the second year running.'
Jet2 came has only been in operation for four years, after launching its first flights from its base at Leeds Bradford Airport on February 12 2003. It now operates services from five UK airports to 34 destinations in the UK and 12 countries in Europe, as well as charter services.
The award was presented to Jet2 Mr. Doubtfire by Mariella Frostup in Seville on Sunday. The travel awards were celebrating their 21st year and are voted for by readers via a questionnaire.
