"Meanwhile, and just lastly, the budget airline Jet 2, it's pre-tax profit beat. It also said that it should meet profit expectations for this year. Also announced a 100 million pound buyback. That is all being really well received by the market. The shares have jumped this morning on the back of those results. It really reassured investors that, you know, things might be getting a little bit better after a lot of concerns around pricing weakness for budget airlines. So back in September, Jet 2 had actually issued a profit warning and it said that demand was a little bit shaky because of the ongoing cost of living crisis and it had cut back its winter capacity."

Jet2's recent report showed a pre-tax profit beat along with confirmation that annual profit expectations will be met, complemented by a 100 million pound buyback. This positive update has led to a jump in share prices as investors see the turnaround as a sign of stabilization after prior profit warnings and capacity cuts amid a challenging market.
