UK’s Jet2 suspends Poland flights due to war in Ukraine

Jet2 (United Kingdom) (LS, Leeds/Bradford) has suspended all of its flights to Kraków, its only Polish destination, from March 24, 2022, through May 26 due to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The airline said in a statement the move was “due to current circumstances” without explicitly referring to the war. It did not explain why the conflict had impacted its operations to Poland.

The British low-cost carrier served Kraków from Birmingham Int’l, Glasgow Int’l, Leeds/Bradford, Manchester Int’l, and Newcastle, GB, the ch-aviation schedules shows. It said it intended to resume all five routes in a “phased” manner after May 27, 2022.

Kraków is located in south-eastern Poland over 200 kilometres from the Ukrainian border. The war in Ukraine does not affect the security situation in Poland, and all other carriers continue serving Kraków, as well as Rzeszow and Lublin, which are much closer to the frontier.
