So it was.
JB007, instead of continuing to make yourself look stupid why not contribute something useful to the thread and answer the question?

Jet2 Bird Stike
Jet2 emergency landing: 'We thought it was the end' say passengers on plane seen with flames coming from engine - Manchester Evening News
Yesterday afternoon, whilst operating service LS804 from Barcelona, Boeing 737-300 G-CELD suffered a bird strike, whilst on approach into Manchester. Engine 1 was the casualty, as it was reportedly 'banging and popping' on its approach over Stockport. It performed a go-around at 1300Z, and passengers were told to 'adopt the brace' position whilst on approach. The plane landed safely and was met on arrival by fire crews.

The crew on board 'were superb' and 'very professional', as the pilot was 'very calm and reassuring'.
If I'm not mistaken, the aircraft, G-CELD, is supposed to be retiring very soon - Is it worth the cost of repair??

Just wondering what the policy of Jet2 is. Last night I witnessed (from the aircraft next door) a 757 that almost every passenger row had someone who was fanning themselves due to the cabin temperatures for a good 15 minutes. There was no cross bleed start when they did get going (so the APU was operative) so what gives? Could it be they be letting their passengers sweat it out on the ground during boarding to save a few pennies on APU use? Meanwhile we were nice and cool throughout boarding on our A320 LCC flight. I'm all for saving a few pennies however there must have been families with young children and he elderly and resorting to fanning themselves with safety cards and magazines to very much penny wise pounds foolish.

Seems to be a problem unfolding on the LS943, as it is currently holding at 8,000ft, circling multiple times over Blackburn, just after departure from MAN. Of course the 757 has no fuel dump capabilities, so it is probably to burn fuel before diverting. It has been circling for over an hour now, reason still unknown.

A Newcastle based aircraft went tech this afternoon - I think it was G-CELA. Whichever a/c it was, it was due to operate the LS583 to ALC. The closest spare was in LBA, and was brought up to operate the sector.
UPDATE: The tech a/c was in fact G-CELA, conducting air tests right now - 15:40UTC 05/10/2015
G-CELI operated LBA-NCL-ALC, arriving in ALC 22:50LT - or 3 hours late
However, to avoid delays on the return sector, ALC airspare G-CELS flew the ALC-NCL sector - arriving 25mins ahead of schedule at 22:15LT.
Made for strange viewing on FR24. Currently, G-CELS is returning to ALC as EXS45A, whilst G-CELI is returning LBA as EXS044A. Looks something like this:

New York is here! The first Jet2 flight of the Winter left to Newark from GLA this morning. G-LSAB is currently en route, due in at 11:40EDT (15:40UTC).
Does anyone know why GLA-TFS has had two different aircraft operating two different flight numbers today?
LS125 currently operating on G-LSAE, and the normal LS155 operating on G-GDFZ if it helps.

G-JZHB has been operating out of EDI over the last few days, after ferrying in from MAN on Thursday. About time we seen a 738 up in EDI before next summer. I'm guessing that its up there to add some extra capacity with the Scottish School Holidays too?

No idea what was happening at EDI but there were 12 JET2 aircraft at GLA last friday to cope with the extra school holiday flights. Normally the fleet at GLA comprise of 5 x B738s.

I see one of the Boeing 757's has gone tech in New York as the inbound LS088 has a 24 hour delay.
Wonder if they have an engineer out there to fix the bird. Otherwise this could be a costly bringing pax back home..

G-GDFO and G-GDFY, both operating flights from BFS/GLA to TFS today both diverted into FAO, causing a delay of about 1.5hrs on both sectors. Where as FUE bound G-LSAI made no diversion. Maybe Weather related???

3 additional 737-800s
http://www.jethros.org.uk/fleets/fle...tings/jet2.htm
According to Jethros, and a few other sources, Jet2 have acquired 3 more 737-800(WL)s. The aircraft are showing as 'Due', without any date. Details:
Ex. PH-HZK -> G-JZHE Boeing 737-8K2(WL) Current Age: 15.5 From: Transavia
Ex. PH-HZF -> G-JZHF Boeing 737-8K2(WL) Current Age: 16.5 From: Transavia
Ex. TC-SNL -> G-JZHG Boeing 737-86N(WL) Current Age: 10.0 From: Sun Express [leased from GECAS]
Of course, the 27 brand new aircraft are not due to start arriving until Sep '16. Therefore, I assume these additional aircraft are to help decommission a few more of the older aircraft, and add extra capacity ready for next year

G-GDFY was operating from GLA which as others have said is a little further, however there are many other factors....
Where as FUE bound G-LSAI made no diversion.
You are comparing 3 different types of aeroplanes, to 2 different destinations, there is no correlation I'm afraid.
After-though -
Be absolutely sure though, the tech stops for fuel in FAO would not have been done unless absolutely necessary, it costs plenty to do something like this for a start. Better to stop en-route and get to TFS feeling comfortable than finding you are getting into TFS with just enough to find the infamous windshear has sprung up and you are sweating on a divert to LPA where it too is blowing a gale.

Winter Programme Expansion 2016/17
Jet2.com's and Jet2holidays' Winter Warmer | Jet2.com
Upwards of 750,000 seats will be available during next year's winter programme, marking an uplift in flights of 18%. With the release of next year's flights, Jet2 will operate their biggest ever winter programme to the Canaries, with More than 400,000 seats available. Other hot spots including the Algarve and Malaga are also seeing an increase.
The increase comes just after the first of the new aircraft are due, so I expect that the newest aircraft, should they arrive on time, will be out earning their money over the winter period
