TF-JXA,TF-JXB are both doing flybe flights out of bourmouth and southampton, while flybe await the delivery of there two new 733 a/cs. The best thing bout the md-80's they have
1.larger capacity
2. they do much faster turn arounds
3.they are cheap wet lease.
This is why often at night they park up at airports like southend and southampton, to keep their operating costs down.
Jet2 has not got the marget for the winter period out of leeds and bradford, where as at Manchester they atre turning around every hour on the hour to several places, included in Jet2's routes.
Surely jet2 would be best operating these parked up spare a/cs into Manchester,Gatwick and Edinburgh. Jet2 need to be more effiecient now as they will soon recieve some competition with the up and coming fly globespan, and their new 737-800s.
All that I have heard is the main lessors of the 2 current mds hope to increase the lease to four of them very soon. It is also rumoured that a JetX, TF-JXC is in operation for someone else on the ski flights out of paris CDG.
