Jet2 plc has firmed a further six A321-200N purchase rights thereby increasing its order for the type to 57.
The Jet2 (United Kingdom) (LS, Leeds/Bradford ) parent holding said in a stock exchange filing that it had a further 18 purchase rights, which could increase its overall A321neo order to 75 aircraft.
