There is a bit of confusion here. Just to confirm, this is where OPERATIONAL aircraft will be based, not factoring in 1x standby 737 & 1 standby 757.

Glasgow - 1 733, 2 738 & 1 757
Edinburgh - 4 733
Newcastle - 4 733 & 2 757
Blackpool - 2 733
Belfast - 2 733
East Midlands - 1 733, 1 738 & 1 757
Leeds Bradford - 7 733, 1 738 & 3 757
Manchester - 2 733, 5 738, 3 757

This is what the flights are on sale for, next years aircraft additions have not been acquired yet so things can change and I'm sure they will. There will be a standby 737-300 based at Leeds and a standby 757 based at Manchester to cover the 738 and 752 fleets. Summer 2013 should see a fleet of 44 operational and 2 standby aircraft over 40 operational this year. The plan is to have 50 operational aircraft in 2014 along with a new base.

Plans were out in place for a 757 to be based at Liverpool, but with Ryanairs growth at Manchester, the north was pretty saturated on the routes Jet2 were planning to operate. This new base should prove an ideal diversion alternative for East Midlands.....
