Yes, Tenerife is a winter destination but it is still busy in summer! We stayed at the Hotel Vulcano last summer and was roughly 80% full. It wont have cost Jet2 as much as you think to put them up in the hotel, as baring in mind Jet2Holidays will have pre bought hotel rooms and they evidently must have had a fair bit of availability in the Vulcano to put up pax there.
Talking of the fleet, it would make so much sense to get rid of a few 757's, lets face it the cabins are not the freshest. I can just see it now ... PM sells off 6 of the 757's and buys some used 737-800's from Ryanair. I would have thought that Jet2 could charge what the hell they like for a 757 as as far as i'm aware the likes of fedex, DHL etc are desperate for 757's? Gradually phase out the 757's, get a few more 737-800's and then get some ex EZY 737-700's in to get rid of the old -300's. One fleet type so lots of synergies with crew/MX etc..... maybe someone should wake me up from my dream now ...
