YORKSHIRE airline Jet2.com has scooped a highly acclaimed award at the Channel Network Awards (CNAs).
The company has been named ‘Enterprise IT Solution of the Year’ for its IT infrastructure project.

The award, handed out at London’s Hilton Hotel, Park Lane, noted the redevelopment of the Jet2.com and Jet2holidays.com ecommerce website and the installation of a ‘green’ infrastructure that could deliver round-the-clock, resilient computing for employees and customers.
