Good to see Jet2 holding its own financially during these difficult times. Only about 18 months ago some were predicting its demise, e.g. Post 657 on this Forum suggested it was a corpse. The share price was well down. Some were prompted to speculate that maybe it would fall into the hands of Ryanair or EasyJet. There was talk about old aircraft and why would a LoCo buy 757's. Well 18 months on Ryanair and EasyJet are cutting and changing routes, Jet2 757,s seem well used, one off to New York from Newquay today I think, others doing Hajj duties to Saudia. Plus talk about 767's for Jet2. They appear to be doing okay as far as I can see which is good for the business, especially their bases and all those employed by them. They have come a long way in a short time.
