I think you need to have a look at what Jet2's competitors did today? Ryanair canceling Italian flights due to the strikes. Jet2 continue to operate flights to Italy despite the disruption because they don't want to just walk away from problems, on top of this an aircraft taken out of service for numerous days yet no flights cancelled and minimum delays going forward. No body is perfect but rather get to my holiday than not at all!
Do we see Ryanair busing passengers to another airport to fly from
No, they will just cancel the flight and leave their passengers stranded and you cannot deny this happens. At least Jet2 do not desert their passengers.
does eny one what has happend to ls465 leeds to larnaca because it has left leeds but hasnt landed in larnaca and larnaca airports website is showing delayed on arrivel and leeds/bradford website is saying indefinite delay on arrivel
Looking on the Jet2 website it appears to have diverted to Kavala and is now delayed until tomorrow. On a seperate note, Jet2 have announced a new Manchester - Pula route from March next year.
Greek authorities say a British Jet2.com airliner carrying 217 passengers has safely conducted an emergency landing at the northeastern airport of Kavala. The plane had been flying from Bradford airport in England to Larnaca in Cyprus. Airport officials say the pilot requested the unscheduled landing on Wednesday after his instruments indicated a malfunction. Experts were checking the aircraft, while a new plane was expected to pick up the passengers later in the day from Kavala, some 105 miles east of Thessaloniki.
G-LSAD appears to have left EMA heading for Northern Greece earlier this evening

Reason: Additional info
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.
I've just made a booking to go to NCL from FAO this Thursday and the seating plan online is showing 3+4 as the cabin layout. This rules out a 737/757 so anyone know what a/c is being used and if it's a sub-charter?
That flight is operated on one of our own 757's, not sure why it's got a 3-4 config, on my computer and all work ones it's showing 3-3. Perhaps an issue with your browser?
hi i was looking at jet2 new flight from east midlands to pisa and its operated by an none base aircraft but its not a belfast , leeds , man or newcastle based aircraft ether so does eny no if jet2 are doing new flights to pisa from another airport or are thay setting up a new base with new flights to pisa
