Thanks for the video!

According to Jethro’s the three B733s have now departed G-CELB, G-CELC and G-CELD. The replacement B738s have yet to arrive.

In the Interim report from the Dart Group it is stated that, “our expanding Leisure Travel business invests in additional aircraft, advertising and people in readiness for the summer 2016 season.” The estimate is a 10% increase in carrying capacity for summer 2016. Considering that the 30 new B738s ordered directly from Boeing are not arriving until September 2016 and after the main part of the summer season has passed, it would be reasonable to expect that additional aircraft will be acquired for Summer 2016 during this winter period. There are about 40 B738s that are described as being “Stored” worldwide, many of which are probably looking for a new home, so that there wouldn’t appear to be any shortage of aircraft and possibly bargains to be had.

JET2 had a fleet of 60 aircraft last summer of which two were wet leased. If the projected 10% increase in carrying capacity is correct and booking indications hold out well, then JET2 will need to acquire 8 B738s to add to their present fleet of 58 aircraft and/or wet lease from other companies, as they did last year.
