Jet2.com & Jet2holidays take baggage handling & ramp operations in-house at Bristol Airport

The move comes as part of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays’ ongoing commitment to always developing the customer experience and its operations, ahead of its biggest ever summer at Bristol Airport.

In just their third summer of operations at the airport, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have a significantly expanded programme on sale for Summer 23.

With over 925,000 seats on sale, the companies will operate almost 100 weekly flights during peak periods.

This expansion includes two brand-new destinations for Summer 23 – Malaga and Chania (Crete), the latter which is an exclusive destination from the airport. A seventh-based aircraft will come into operation at the base to support this expansion, with a team of over 400 colleagues looking after customers.

This now includes a dedicated ramp-handling team including Ramp Agents and Baggage Loaders. Working as part of the Ground Operations Team, the team are responsible for ensuring that flights depart safely and on time, whilst providing a VIP experience for customers. There are opportunities available in the team, and further information can be found at www.jet2careers.com.
