The fact Jet2 are moving into selling package holidays (a Jet2 branded website sat on top of the 'On Holiday Group' booking engine) might lend more credibility than usual to these rumours. Although the site is live, there has been no marketing or
PR push to give us any idea exactly what the plan is and how aggressively they will chase this market. If they do make a go of it, it could open up options to launch services on a mixed scheduled / charter basis to destinations that perhaps would not work on a 100% seat-only basis, Orlando perhaps being one example. Greece, Cyprus, Egypt, Turkey being others.
Meanwhile, I wonder how they are getting on chasing the bmi CDG slots. They've been handed back and I would have assumed SL, PM and co would done whatever they could to have got to the front of the queue to try and get them. Don't imagine the slots will be around for long.
