l would rather they do that and stick with their current, working, business plan than buy/lease new. Owning older properly maintained aircraft with refreshed interiors and plenty of backup seems to work for them.If they do go new then I hope they don't go full fleet and keep the new/leased ac flying year round on the core winter routes.
Totally agree with HOODED - I too think the best way for Jet2 to expand is to keep on doing as they do now, with older, well maintained aircraft, with refreshed interiors, and plenty of backup.

Today marks the busiest time of the year so far in terms of amount of aircraft in the sky. 48 aircraft were in the skies at once at 12:50 this afternoon, marking the start of a busy summer season with Jet2.
