The Unique Boeing 737-700C Gets Some Love - AirlineReporter : AirlineReporter
Just reading a report on the 'unique 737-700C'. Upon reading the first few lines, it says that;
What makes it unique is its ability to convert from passengers to cargo depending on how the airline wants to use it. If you have heavy passenger flow during the summer, but more cargo during the winter, being able to convert between the two is quite helpful.
Heavy Passenger Flow during summer, More Cargo during the Winter. Sound Familiar? It comes as a surprise that Jet2 haven't yet made a move on obtaining aircraft for the Royal Mail runs overnight.
They currently run a mixed Boeing Fleet of 737-300, 737-800, and 757-200;
737-800: 27 New aircraft coming in the next few years.
757-200: Not set to go anywhere yet, but no move made as yet to replace them
737-300: Most reaching retirement age, replacement on the 737-800.
At the moment, Jet2 optimise the smaller 737-300 on thinner routes, meaning they can concentrate the larger aircraft for thicker routes. Maybe an order for 2-4 737-700C's and possibly 5-15 737-700s in the future???
