Talking Jet2-738

I also remember the last time I saw an aircraft swap too!!!!


but unlike you... I really couldn't have cared less as the aircraft were the same, they took off and flew home.


No drama...no story to tell....


when old enough to get a job, get one in the aviation industry, then look back at your posts and you may just want to explode with embarrassment on the spot!

Is this the Jet2 Source website substitute?

If it is Jet2 Source, it and it's author, should clear off and pay for their own web hosting, then they can post away to their heart's content

Is someone getting paid for it?

If you are referencing me, the 'about' links I gave were solely for informational purposes only. I am certainly not paid to promote anything. This sub-forum is for any relevant news regarding Jet2, their operations, their fleet. I am so surprised that people haven't even heard about Jet2! As Djerba said;
There's plenty of life North of Watford Gap.......

It's a bit sad from apparently mature men.

Crack on Jet2.

Perhaps you should give JET2_738 the benefit of sufficient intelligence to realise that those posters saying they didn’t know of JET2 are the same ones that have for years denigrated the company bordering on slander and with little else contribution to any other threads. JET2_738’s response was a lesson to us all that the best defence is to pretend ignorance and respond without offence but with tongue in cheek.

Trust me, in your shoes, my next action would be to delete your post and save face.

Whilst Jet2_738's passion for all that is Jet2 is OTT and not everyone's cup-of-tea (including me) I don't know if it's worth getting in such a state about it. We're all free to simply stay away from the thread after all. That's just what I shall be doing from now on.

Come on boys, play nicely. Jet2_738 was asked by several to start a new thread separate from the main Jet2 thread. I'll be the first to admit me and he have had our fair share of clashes on here, but he's done what people asked. Leave him be to post what he wants. Nobody is forced to read this so some people should ease off a little.

G-LSAD, 757-200 departed MAN at 1848, and operated this rather unusual flight path, as EXS047A. This callsign is often used on rescue flights, but I remain unsure as to where it was headed/why it's heading back to MAN.

Otherwise, earlier today, G-JZHD, 737-800, was drafted in from GLA to EDI, to operate the LS717/8 (EDI-PMI-EDI) service today. She has since been positioned to LBA, where it is understood she'll spend some time operating from there. Not a common sight the Jet2 738 at EDI, not until next year at least

I was flying into EMA on a well known Irish airline yesterday and noticed a few of these new, sorry I meant old, Jet2 planes on the tarmac.

I can't help wondering why they don't paint them all in the silver and red colour, it looks much better than the Woolworth look paintwork on the planes with holidays painted on the side.

If the Irish airline, Thomson, BA and easyjet can paint their planes in the same colour, why can't Jet2? Did they run out of paint or had they some left over from another job?

Not relevant to the question though.

Only if it was pointless or irrelevant.

But, I'm not arguing just stating a fact. If you know the answer why not give it. If you don't why comment.

What is the story behind the Allegiant style paint job. Granted the sunburst is a little different but as a whole it is extremely similar. I used to think they'd just bored some Allegiant 757s when Allegiant were gaining ETOPS and developing their Hawaii programme and limited use for them. But many years on, the Jet2Holidays colourscheme remains. What gives?

The Jet2 c/s is very striking but the Jet2Holidays is bland. And it's time they dropped the '.com'. It's a bit long winded when you're sat in an airport and continually hear 'jet2 dot com and jet2holidays flight LS123 to Palma etc etc'. I hope they're not going to stick 'jet2CityBreaks' in for good measure. It just sounds dated. I know what they're trying to achieve in separating the brands, but Thomson and TCX don't.

Both Jet2 and Jet2 Holidays are owned by Dart Group Plc. From what I was told, but with no facts to support the story, is that 2 B757s were leased from Allegiant and the contract stipulated that they remain in their livery. Jet2 management apparently liked the livery and, since the two airlines neither compete nor operate in the same part of the world, they decided to adopt an albeit slightly modified version for some of their other aircraft in the fleet promoting the Jet2 Holidays brand.

Not dis-similar to what Channel Airways did with their livery, from the 1960 / 1970s when they retained the Continental Airlines scheme after purchasing a fleet of Viscount 812s.
