Jet2.com partner with Yorkshire Tea to provide a mile-high "proper brew"

Yorkshire’s leading leisure airline, Jet2.com, has partnered with Yorkshire Tea and introduced the popular tea brand to its new In-Flight Menu, making it the first UK airline to offer customers a “proper brew” in the sky.

Launching as part of the new In-Flight Menu from the UK’s third largest airline, the partnership means Jet2.com will be serving up Yorkshire Tea on all flights from its ten UK bases from 1st November. The iconic hot drink will be available to buy onboard or offered as a hot drink option with pre-ordered adult meals.

Yorkshire Tea likes to do things properly which means their tea is really good quality, tastes lovely and is kind to people and the planet. Served in Yorkshire Tea’s famous 12oz plant-based red cups, the new menu addition means customers will be able to have a cracking cup of tea in the sky.

Jet2.com’s new In-Flight Menu has a number of other new additions too, to give customers more choice and variety than ever. Brand-new to Jet2.com are the Pizza Twists in two tasty flavours Margherita and Pepperoni. Available from 8th November on all the award-winning airline’s flights, customers can pre-order the Pizza Twists or buy onboard to enjoy a taste of Italy.

For the first time, Jet2.com will also be launching a new Vegan and Gluten-Free Snack Box. Featuring Nairn Oat Cakes, Hummus, Tomato Dip, Love Corn and Hip Salted Caramel Chocolate, the new Snack Box will be available to buy onboard only.

The Ploughman’s Snack Box is also back by popular demand. This includes classics like Jacob’s Cream Crackers, Branston Pickle, Applewood Cheese spread and Ilchester Cheese spread, plus Mini Cheddars.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with another Yorkshire company and offering even more choice to customers by adding Yorkshire Tea to our In-Flight Menu. The partnership means that we are the first UK airline to offer Yorkshire Tea onboard, and we are sure that this new addition to our menu will delight customers looking to enjoy a tasty brew as they fly off on a getaway.

“We pride ourselves on delivering the very best customer service in every area, and that includes offering a wide selection of classic snacks, healthy food options, sweet treats, and refreshing drinks while customers jet away with us. We look forward to seeing Yorkshire Tea take to the skies and cannot wait for our customers to try the exciting choice on this new menu.”

Ben Newbury, Yorkshire Tea marketing lead, said: “Here at Yorkshire Tea, we want tea lovers to enjoy our brews anytime they like including in the sky. We’re chuffed to be partnering with Jet2.com so passengers can enjoy a proper brew in the comfort of their seats, wherever they’re travelling.”
