Jet2.com owner, Dart Group, stated it expects 1H2010 profits to be up year-on-year but warned of increased losses in 2H2010, due to continued growth (StockMarketWire.com/Money Week, 05-Oct-2010). According to Dart, Jet2.com had a "satisfactory" summer 2010, with a rise in yields and load factors. It also had an encouraging first summer of operations at East Midlands Airport.
