confirmed for 2016 6xB738 and a possible acquisition of 10xB737-700 to gradually replace the B733
"should bring a smile to your face" - it does!

The 6x738 was obvious, and Jet2 obviously see this as their way of expansion. After all, the 737NG is an extremely versatile range of aircraft, and aquiring these second hand suits Jet2 down to the ground.
In terms of the possible 10x737-700, I really do think that it is a viable option for Jet2. They are the immediate replacement for the 733 in terms of capacity, but outdo the 733 in every other category.
Jet2's business model means they acquire, and usually buy outright the aircraft second hand. The second hand market is huge for the 738, and is only getting bigger as companies prepare for the upcoming MAX's - this something Jet2 have, and are taking advantage of. So, with a wide range of airlines to acquire the 738's, does anyone have any ideas where they could acquire the 737-700's from?
