Passengers flying from Jersey Airport this week, on September 12, 2024, should be aware of potential congestion and road closures due to the Jersey International Air Festival.
Jet2 advised: “Please allow extra time for your journey to the airport as we’re operating your flight as scheduled.
“Please arrive at the airport at least two hours before your departure time. Check-in closes 40 minutes before a flight’s departure time.
“The airline directs travellers to www.jerseyairdisplay.org.uk for more information about the event. Jet2 reassures holidaymakers that transfer times for package holidays remain unaffected.”
Travellers using Newcastle Airport should prepare for ongoing delays due to roadworks on the A696 from August 19 until November 26.
Jet2 advised: “Diversion routes have been put in place. National Highways have confirmed that resurfacing work will be completed affecting the airport access roundabout.”
The works are scheduled overnight, with roads reopening at 6am each morning.
Because of these disruptions, Jet2 emphasised: “Please allow enough time to travel to Newcastle Airport as all Jet2.com flights are due to operate as scheduled.”
Passengers are urged to plan their journeys accordingly to avoid missing their flights due to these temporary road alterations.
Passengers travelling to East Midlands Airport should be prepared for potential delays due to roadworks on the M1 motorway. Jet2 announced: “One lane will be permanently closed on the Northbound and Southbound carriageways with a 50mph speed restriction in place. Delays are likely during peak hours.”
