Looks like Jet2 are not having the best off luck.
Astraeus B757, G-STRY has been covering some flying duties out of MAN today to replace G-LSAI which was sent to cover over at LBA yesterday after G-LSAE was badly damaged there.
Today has seen G-LSAI divert into Kavala due a malfunction of instruments. So this evening EMA based G-LSAD has positioned down to Kavala with some engineers onboard as LS041A. It will then fly the passengers onto Cyprus and overnight there before heading back to LBA tomorrow afternoon operating the delayed LS476 service.
I’m taking a wild guess that G-LSAI will be flown back from Kavala to the UK as a positioning flight after been checked out by the Jet2 engineers.
Meanwhile a 2nd Astraeus, B757, G-STRY has been positioned from BHX as LS43A to NCL to cover up there tomorrow seen that a NCL based Jet2 B757 aircraft is been sent down to LBA in morning.
And just as I type this yet another Jet2 this time G-LSAL has diverted into MAN this evening operating the LS158 service from PFO to GLA for some reason. Looks like G-LSAM has just been sent up to Glasgow empty as LS42A while the passengers will be bussed up the M6.
