Jet2.com and its sister package holiday company, Jet2holidays, are owned by Jet2 plc, a major British aviation and leisure travel group. Historically, the company was known as the Dart Group PLC, which had its roots in commercial flower distribution and freight aviation dating back to the 1970s under the leadership of Philip Meeson. In 2020, the company officially rebranded to Jet2 plc to better reflect its core business focus on the leisure travel market. As a public limited company, it is listed on the London Stock Exchange (AIM) under the ticker symbol JET2. Unlike many European low-cost carriers that are part of massive multi-national airline groups, Jet2 has maintained a relatively independent corporate structure, focusing heavily on its North of England and Scottish hubs. The company’s ownership structure is comprised of various institutional investors and private shareholders, with the executive team continuing to emphasize a "Customer First" strategy that has allowed it to grow into the UK's largest tour operator as of 2026.
