With all the current hype about new routes, I for one will be a little dissapointed if Jet2 only operate the same routes next summer on the 75. Operating just 5 routes (AGP, KRK, PMI, MJV & TFS) can be a little boring for 6 months!

Jet2 will only operate one 757 for S08, according to latest news. Granted, both 757's haven't been fully utilised, sometimes only doing 2 sectors per day on each aircraft. However, the load factors have been good and late departures have mostly been caused by slot times. BCN or ALC could of been possible destinations this summer that could well of fitted into the timetable.

I enjoy working at NCL and hope that Jet2 can continue to grow in line with the airports expansion. Talking to local residents, all seem really pleased that international routes from NCL are growing.

Just a question for any ATCO's who may be on the site:-
  • When is the tower opening and will airline staff be allowed to visit?
  • Is there any plans to create SID / STARS for the airport?
