Has Jet2 got a Dreamliner?

So if you want a Dreamliner, that definitely has to be TUI, but they could of course use any of the other aircraft they have. Jet2's fleet only has Boeing 737s and 758s so you won't be getting a 787 flying anywhere with them.



As of March 2026, Jet2.com does not own or operate any Boeing 787 Dreamliners. Jet2’s business model is focused on short-to-medium haul "sun destinations" across Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Canary Islands, which does not currently require the ultra-long-haul capabilities of the Dreamliner. Instead, Jet2 has committed to a massive fleet modernization program centered on the Airbus A321neo. These aircraft are highly fuel-efficient and perfectly suited for their high-capacity holiday routes. While Jet2 occasionally leases larger wide-body aircraft, such as the Airbus A330, from companies like AirTanker to handle peak summer demand from Manchester or London Stansted, they have not added the 787 to their permanent fleet. For 2026 travelers, this means you are most likely to fly on a brand-new A321neo or a reliable Boeing 737-800. If you are specifically looking for a Dreamliner experience from the UK to holiday spots, you would typically need to book with TUI Airways, which remains the primary UK leisure carrier operating the 787.
