jET2 757s

I think we'll probably not be seeing the 757s outside of Leeds and Manchester for a while. I think it is a very clever tactical move by PM. Other than the high density routes, I think we'll be seeing a number of additional sun routes particuarly from LBA. To those people unfamiliar with LBA there are a large proportion of people currently traveling accross the Pennines from West Yorkshire to use services from Manchester. With the introduction of Jet2 to Leeds, this has largely changed on the usual sun routes such as Alicante, Palma and Malaga. Now I think PM will start to tap into some of the other traditional destinations, some of which have virtually no offer from LBA at the moment.

The statment from Channel Express was that the 757s will be used from its LBA base on sun routes INITIALLY was the word, so expect more to come in the next few months.
