Hi folks,

Just a question of curiosity more than anything else. I'm regularly out of EDI on a Friday evening and there always seems to be 4 or 5 Jet2's parked up on the remote / freight stands. Do they really have that much slack to have jets lying about or are they there for a specific purpose (just a timing quirk)

Thanks kindly
Kev
The Jet2 aircraft and "QC" versions which are converted to cargo ops in the evening to operate 4 x nightly flights on behalf of Royal Mail (2 each to EMA and STN).

The seats are palletized and removed in the evening then refitted the following morning for pax ops. This is the reason the pax schedule is light during the week and they are sitting on the freight stands.
