JetXtra.com was a virtual airline that offered air charters between the United Kingdom and Spain using aircraft from other airlines. It operated from 2012 to 2017.
History
JetXtra was launched in 2012 by 26-year-old Daniel Reilly from Liverpool.[1]
In January 2012, Jet2.com took issue over the use of the word 'jet' in the name.[2][3]
In May 2013, flights commenced from Humberside Airport using a Volotea Boeing 717.[4]
For the summer season of 2014, JetXtra provided services between Alicante and Palma de Mallorca and Humberside using a BA CityFlyer Embraer E-Jet family aircraft operated by British Airways.[5]
The company shut down in 2017.
