To mark the occasion, celebrations will take place across the operator’s UK and overseas bases throughout June.

UK airports will also be creating a series of celebratory themed cakes, with independent travel agents and Jet2.com and Jet2holidays social media followers voting for the winner.

Steve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: “This summer marks the 10th anniversary of delivering real package holidays through Jet2holidays and it is a great time to be celebrating the work which has seen us continue to go from strength to strength.

“That is only possible thanks to everyone here at Jet2holidays as well as the continued support of independent travel agents.”
 
Back in 2007, the company operated to 15 destinations whereas today it operates to more than 40 across the Mediterranean, Canary Islands and Europe.
 
This growth means that Jet2holidays will employ more than 1,600 people in summer 2017, including a dedicated team to deliver its new Resort Flight Check In service, which allows Jet2holidays customers to check in their bags at the hotel on their day of departure.

Heapy added: “As well as celebrating, we are looking forward too. Thanks to our continued investment into building a company that is focused on our customers, we look forward with real confidence.”
