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...
Sounds good except the 12 B738s are not owned by Garuda as they are leased, so JET2 would need to drive a bargain with the lessor.....and leasing aircraft goes against the present JET2 business model.
