Jet2 has issued a travel warning for passengers flying from three UK airports, including Jersey, Newcastle, and East Midlands airports this week and in the coming months. The airline cautioned travellers about likely delays due to ongoing road works affecting travel routes to these airports. Specifically, Jet2 highlighted road works on the M1 between Junction 23A and Junction 25, where one lane on both Northbound and Southbound carriageways will be permanently closed, accompanied by a 50mph speed restriction, leading to potential delays during peak hours. Additionally, sporadic closures of Junction 23A slip roads are expected between 22:00 and 06:00, with signed diversions in place for travellers to navigate through.
Moreover, Jet2 alerted passengers flying to East Midlands Airport about road works along the A696 from 19th August to 26th November, which could impact airport access due to resurfacing work on the airport roundabout. Travellers to Newcastle Airport were also notified of scheduled road works, urging them to factor in extra travel time. The airline advised passengers flying to Jersey Airport to anticipate congestion and road closures on 12th September 2024, owing to the Jersey International Air Festival. Jet2 emphasised the importance of allowing additional time for the journey to the airport and recommended arriving at least two hours before departure.
Furthermore, for passengers on Jet2 holidays, transfer times remain unaffected despite the potential travel disruptions. The airline’s proactive communication aims to help passengers plan their journeys effectively amidst the anticipated delays. Jet2’s commitment to ensuring a smooth travel experience for its customers includes providing detailed information about the road works and advising on necessary adjustments to travel plans. As travellers prepare for their flights from the mentioned UK airports, Jet2’s travel warning serves as a timely reminder to stay informed and prepared for any disruptions that may affect their journeys.
