Wright Taxis are Flying High! …

Local taxi firm, Wright Taxis are proud to announce our new successful partnership with Jet2.com & Jet2holidays – The UK’s friendly low fares airline.

The Locally owned taxi co will now become the main transport supplier for all of Jet2’s flight & cabin crew based at Glasgow International Airport which is a 20 minute drive from the company’s base in Alexandria’s Main Street in West Dunbartonshire. This contract will see drivers within the Wright Taxi Fleet delivering pilots and cabin crew members safely between all of Jet2’s bases across the United Kingdom from GLA (Glasgow Airport). As-well as delivering Pilots and Cabin crew to Jet2’s airport bases we’ve asked if we can provide transport for pilots who need to attend the company’s purpose built Training Academy in Bradford for refresher training too.

Flexibility is key for Jet2 and that’s what Wright Taxis is great at with our dedicated management team and pool of experienced taxi drivers, This why Jet2 choose Wright Taxis after a successful tendering process and compliance checks. Stephen Quinn, Office Manager at Wright Taxis adds “This is a big contract for our local firm and one we are very much excited about. We’re looking forward to building our relationship with Jet2 and reaching for the heights of success.
