Rumours seem to suggest that Jet2 are to acquire an extra aircraft in the near future.
PK-GER, Boeing 737-800WL, currently in the hands of Garuda Indonesia, is due to be wfu in August 2015. The aircraft is currently 14.3 years old, which would make it the 3rd youngest in the Jet2 fleet. Rumour has it that Jet2 are to acquire the aircraft after its time at Garuda Indonesia, to become G-JZHE.
However, it would surprise me if this was the first 738 from GIA. The company has already placed an order for 50 737 MAX 8's, the first due in 2017, to replace the older 737-800's.
GIA will be looking to be rid of 12 737-800's in total, their age ranging between 10-14.5 years old. This is a potential gold mine for Jet2 - mid-aged 738's, all fitted with winglets, and because GIA want to sell them asap before the newbies arrive, it means that Jet2 might be able to drive a bit of a bargain...
