In September 2004, the airline company welcomed its first customers onboard at Aldergrove for a flight to Prague. To mark the major milestone, customers flying with the airline on September 24 from the Co Antrim airport received a VIP customer experience at check-in, which included a red-carpet welcome, balloon arch, cupcakes and vouchers to use towards their next getaway.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “This anniversary provides the ideal opportunity to reflect upon all that we have achieved in Northern Ireland since we first launched in 2004 with just two destinations on sale." Check out these pictures from the celebration event.
