Potentially. However, significant ATC slot delays across a swathe of destinations isn’t helping matters. If you’ve got many crews getting back late across a range of bases, you eventually run out of people who are in hours and need to delay flights for minimum rest.
What sets Jet2 apart from the rest is that they will get people on their holiday rather than cancel flights. Cancellation is really the very last resort. I’m sure customers would prefer to arrive late than not at all.
