Data would indicate that of the 57 airframes in the fleet only 11 are leased. Inevitably these leases would be cheaper than usual as they were for second hand aircraft. The new order of aircraft may well be bought outright by JET2, as previously someone mentioned that a deal with Bank of America to finance the purchase had been negotiated. This would make sense as interest rates are low and it would be an important saving on a regular leasing arrangement. This doesn’t solve the low winter usage of aircraft but it does go some way to mitigate the issue.
