New EDI routes

Looks very much like Jet2Holidays driving the route selection, nothing wrong with that, but further cements the seasonal nature of Jet2 business going forward which flies in the face of a new leased fleet order.

Jet2 are not in any sense of the word a transatlantic operator, a few dozen mainly Xmas New York flights can not add much to the bottom line, the 757 is a truly excellent aircraft and nothing on the market including the A321 comes close, having said that 90% + of what you might want to do can be done be with the 321/738 and its already been pointed out that the 757 will be phased out at some stage.

The spot light will be on Jet2's reliability this summer, they work crews and aircraft very hard in Summer
