Budget airline Jet2 has been hailed as Aim’s highest flier as the junior London market prepares for its 30th anniversary.

Investors could have made almost one hundred times their money back if they had invested in the company when it made its debut on Aim twenty years ago.

Anyone putting £100 into the airline and package holiday provider – then known as Dart Group – in 2005 would have seen the stock’s value climb to around £8,990 today, a return of 8,890 per cent, according to investment platform AJ Bell.

The rise makes Jet2 the most successful Aim-listed company that is still trading on the junior market.

Aim will celebrate its 30th anniversary on Thursday at a difficult time for the London Stock Exchange, which has been buffeted by a series of takeover bids.

It has also suffered from high-profile companies opting to shift their listings to other markets, particularly the US.
