Jet2 PLC's Ordinary Share Structure and FCA Transparency Obligation

The notification is made pursuant to the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, which require listed companies to publish the total number of voting rights whenever there is a change in share capital. Each of Jet2's 184,251,451 ordinary shares, carrying a nominal value of 1.25p, confers one voting right. Because no shares are held in treasury, shareholders and institutional investors must use the full figure of 184,251,451 as the denominator when assessing whether their holdings cross a reporting threshold, such as the 3%, 5%, or 10% notification levels prescribed under DTR 5.

Jet2holidays and Jet2.com: Business Model Underpinning the Listed Group

Jet2 PLC operates two complementary businesses. Jet2holidays is described in the announcement as the UK's leading provider of ATOL-protected package holidays, serving leisure destinations across the Mediterranean, Canary Islands, and European Leisure Cities. Jet2.com is identified as the UK's third largest airline by passenger numbers, focusing on scheduled holiday flights. In the financial year ended 31 March 2026, over 63% of flown passengers chose an end-to-end package holiday, while more than 80% of total Group revenue was generated by package holidays, with the majority of the remainder from flight-only bookings.

Jet2's 14 UK Airport Bases Supporting Its National Reach

The announcement confirms that Jet2 currently operates from 14 UK airport bases, spanning Belfast International, Birmingham, Bournemouth, Bristol, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool John Lennon, London Gatwick, London Luton, London Stansted, Manchester, and Newcastle. This broad domestic footprint supports the company's leisure travel revenue model and underpins its position as a significant employer and operator within the UK aviation and holiday sectors. Investors may be watching capacity decisions and passenger volume trends across these bases as indicators of forward trading performance.

What the Voting Rights Figure Means for Institutional Shareholders
