The statement was recent but cannot find it and cannot say if it was from PM or SH but they said that JET2 would continue to buy 2nd hand aircraft as and when opportunities arised apart from the deliveries of the new B738 order from Boeing.
My feeling is that the priority should be to reduce the 11 leased aircraft (1xB733 and 10XB738s) before retiring too many owned B733s.

B757 G-LSAG obviously had an issue yesterday after T/O from MAN as I saw it circling with gear down before returning to MAN. It has just dep MAN again as EXS051B (test/proving flight?). Does anybody have any further detail to the issue (s)?

G-LSAG
I see that this B75 has had two further issues in the past 5 days both resulting in returned to MAN directly after T/O.
Is she getting a bit tired after almost 30 years service, almost 20 of those in China.

Anyone able to confirm the reason why G-GDFC has been at Norwich since 30 Nov
Scheduled maintenance I would imagine.

Is there no news/word of Jet2 buying any second hand B737-800's this year?
I would have thought that with the expansion(an additional 11 aircraft between Birmingham & Stansted alone) and the retirement of quite a few B737-300's(I think 5 so far last year), that an intake of some second hand aircraft was necessary?
I know that there has been 8 new B737-800's delivered, and 4 due shortly, but with 5 300's gone(and possibly more to follow), the numbers don't add up.
