That rumour regards Jet2 buying the Monarch Engineering hangar at Manchester has been going around for a long time now, At one point not so long ago they were also going to buy the old BMI hangar at East Midlands.
The Multiflight hangar on the south side at Leeds/Bradford that Jet2 currently use has been fully adapted so to be able to accommodate all fleet types inside but with an ever growing fleet it might not be big enough for there requirements any more. There has also been a long term rumour that they actually want to build there own hangar next to the existing base. But that will mean Jet2 acquiring the land from Multiflight and getting planning permission from Leeds City Council before anything can be built, so the Manchester option might work out as a better deal for them as the infrastructure is already in place.
