"Despite the challenges, we have ensured that our customer-first strategy has remained at the heart of everything we do, and we are proud that our efforts continue to be recognised, this time by the UKCSI.

"Not only do we continue to lead the industry, but our outstanding customer service has also improved over the past year, which is something I am incredibly proud of.

“Last week saw our Summer 21 flights and holidays programme resume and the start of operations from new base Bristol Airport, and we have no doubt that even more positive times are ahead.

"We cannot wait to take more customers on a much-needed holiday and to showcase why we lead the way when it comes to customer service.”

The UK Customer Satisfaction Index (UKCSI) is a national barometer of customer satisfaction, which has been published by The Institute of Customer Service twice a year since 2008.
