Cant see it has anything to do with Brexit, more a commercial decision to handle its Spanish business.Yeap Jet2 have bought office space in the terminal 2 for its Alicante based flight & Cabin crew, Engineers, ground crew and operations staff.
They will also be able to train up locally based Spanish staff, instead of having them travel to training facility in Bradford.
It also begs the question! Are Jet2 looking for fallback options if we end up with a No Deal hard Britext in March next year??
Jet2 asks boy in mobility scooter to 'prove disability'
Alex Johnson said her son had a "complete meltdown" when they returned home
A 10-year-old disabled boy was made to prove he had a disability when an airline's administrative error put his flight in jeopardy, says his mother.
Alex Johnson said she was "appalled" with the "humiliating" treatment her son received at Split Airport, Croatia, getting a Jet2 flight home on Tuesday.
She said Jack, of Wigan, Greater Manchester, who has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, was "mortified".
A spokesman for Jet2 said the firm was "extremely sorry".
Jack is the son of former Wigan Warriors, London Broncos, Castleford Tigers and Salford City Reds rugby league player Andy Johnson.
'So embarrassed'
Mrs Johnson said Jack and the rest of the family made "great memories" in Croatia but the holiday was "ruined" when they tried to check in on their return flight home to Leeds-Bradford Airport.
She said although there was no issue on the outbound flight, staff at Split Airport appeared to have no record of Jack's disability and two days' notice had been required to put a motorised scooter on the aircraft.
Mrs Johnson said she was then asked in front of Jack: "Do you have proof your son is disabled?"
She said she showed his blue badge in "disbelief".
Almost two hours later the family were allowed on the return flight.
"Jack doesn't like any fuss or made to feel different," she added.
"He was so embarrassed."
The following day Mrs Johnson said her son had a "complete meltdown", which she blames on the trauma at the airport.
She said: "I want lessons to be learned and all staff to get training to ensure this never happens again to another disabled person.
"They should be treated with dignity."
Jet2 has apologised for the "distressing experience".
"Although this is an isolated incident, we have learnt a number of lessons and are we are urgently reviewing all our procedures to ensure that this does not happen again."
In fairness Jet2 are in the hands of handling agents here, and we all know what they are like..Menzies springs to mind.When you bear in mind how many passengers they are handling at peak times, things will inevitably go wrong. Its awful when they do and Jet2 need to enquire quickly what and why it went wrong. But worth bearing in mind that the vast majority of these requests are sorted as they should be.
Not in Croatia where this happended.I thought Jet2 handled themselves, have I got that wrong ?
Not wishing to defend Jet2, usually in my 6 decades of passing through airports with disabled passengers, these issues usually in the hands of airport operators not airline.
We need an ambuliftt and know requested through airline web site, yet know like recently when checking in Ibiza, iberia desk said booked, yet when special assistance arrived said not booked, this happens at least every 4 or 5 trips.
Certainly these facilities are booked on the web page when buying tickets and when you book in, they always cross check for this journey and your return, when it fails, both the airline and the airport operator blame the other.
And equally naturally, our ignorant journalists will point the finger at the airline also without bothering to establish the actual facts or situation.There is no point anybody blaming the airline. Up until we leave the EU and probably after as we are likely to retain most of the laws already passed it is the airports responsibility to provide adequate PRM assistance not the airlines. Naturally enough though people will blame whoever they come in contact with at the airport and with the airline they are flying with.
Without wishing to cause alarm for those who (like me) love this aircraft, it is being stated on the Jet2 ***Links to other Social Media platforms are not permitted***- group (so far without contradiction) that G-LSAB won't be flying again and is being stripped for parts, presumably at MAN. It doesn't appear to have flown for a few weeks now as far as I can make out, although I haven't seen anything to say why, or what the issue is. I am hoping this isn't true. Anyone heard anything?
