Ask who Jet2 are to a German, Dutch or Belgium customer and they will say Jet who?
Thanks to Brexit it is probably less likely Germans, Dutch or Belgians will ever become familiar with the Jet2 brand, even though the name Jet2 would be quite usable in all those countries.
Their best route into the EU would of course be an Irish operation, with an Dublin based fleet on the EI register. Then the could buy smaller independent tour operators on the European mainland and service them using the EI fleet.
Would it happen? Unlikely in the short term, but medium term who knows.
