738 Rotations

Nerdy question….apologies.

Jet2 have 34 new build 738s, or to put it another way, 43% of their 738 fleet are new build.

I was led to believe all 738s just move around the bases and there are no specific allocations. Yet, if you look at NCL operations over the last few months, the vast majority of the aircraft are new build. Yes, they move around, but the maths still show it’s a mainly new build base. The last week for example, 7 out of 8 are new, way ahead of the expected 43% if it were just random.

Is this just a coincidence or is there an operational decision to put more new builds at NCL?
