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?
going out on a whim here by saying it’s coincidence, jet2 love the term ‘to fit the operation’ they’ll send aircraft anywhere and everywhere however I do see the certain AC won’t leave other bases or are only shared via 2 for example FJ and FF without the winglets always seem to be at STN or MAN. However I wanna say the others just get allocated when needed i suppose.
