From the Manchester Evening News:
Understandable I suppose, but seems odd to do this while flights are in mid-air, rather than overnight??
Full statement from Jet2
Full statement from Jet2
In response to local measures introduced throughout Spain to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including the closure of bars, restaurants, shops and activities including any water sports, we have taken the decision to cancel all flights to Mainland Spain, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands with immediate effect. We know these local measures will have a significant impact on our customers’ holidays, which is why we have taken this decision.
We are contacting our customers who are currently in these destinations, and who are due to travel, to advise them of their options, so we urge customers not to call us.
This is a fast-moving and complex situation and we are reviewing our programme as a matter of urgency, so that we can fly customers back to the UK.
The health and safety of our customers is our number one priority, and we would like to thank our customers for their understanding.

Not necessarily re-pat flights as such but they aren’t going to leave the passengers they had booked to return today out there so outbounds are leaving the UK empty to return as originally planned.

So what happens now then? Since Jet2s bread and butter has vanished and they’re now left with a handful of routes, which it looks likely will also vanish at some point in the near future.
A well run and robust airline, they’ll come up with something, but what?

I think all there is to do is weather the storm and operate a massively reduced operation where possible until the sun shines at the end of the tunnel.

Long tunnel as I think the summer season is going to be a write off not helped by insurance companies now excluding this nasty virus from any new policies. Europe is at the start of a long road where even a few big boys will go under.
