not sure about the emerald flights
glad to hear the easyJet rumour is actually not a rumour - and they are actively considering the airport as base potential (although 6 aircraft might be a little ambitious given the fact that Ryanair want to base aircraft too aswell as the already based Tfly jets)
I could imagine Tfly wanting to base a 3rd aircraft soon

I see Jet2 have been advertising in the local press for 737 eng’s and loaders based at BH. The loaders are for 40hrs a week starting 19:30 five days a week. Have Jet2 picked up any PO flights or are they about to start some PO flights. ?

think they might be taking over the Titan based B733 cargo / ITC / quick change operation. Titan are incredibly expensive, so Jet2 would be able to under-cut. Keeping a small satelite operation at BOH should be no problem - especially for those who do not wish to re-locate to LBA. Hopefully (never say never) this could encourage them to re-consider the viability of some scheduled routes from BOH - but if that doesn't happen there are far more airlines eager to start (watch this space in the next few months)

The Jet2 engineering department is staying at BOH (for the time being anyway) so the 737 B1 engineers will be based at BOH but no doubt working at LBA or MAN as required. The Ops jobs are all LBA based but while head office is still at BOH, thats where they are interviewing.
The loaders jobs are for work in the old Channel Express hangar loading the air Contractors aircraft (Jersey news papers etc.)
Hope this helps

Thanks for that - pretty confusing as to why Jet2 would want to maintain SOME presence at BOH. Must be costly to do so.
Rumours about EZY and WOW are just rumours - but watch this space for some concrete info soon.

EarthOrbitor,
Hmmmm, Well I can't help you out with a date for the master plan, but from your info I would wager that it's either Air Berlin or that the Flybe rumours might have a little more weight to them.
Of course thats assuming that I know who the three largest LCC's are!

Might have something to do with the ex-Channex A300s working sub-contract for the Turks. but who knows ? Makes for a good rumor

"Where do they base all the aircraft I only seem them parked on the Apron at night times do Tfly have a hangar BOH to keep there planes in?"
...in the day the aircraft are being used with short turnarounds hence at nightime when they're not in use they're on the apron. Thomsonfly don't have a hangar at the airport.
...if you wanted to see them in the day late morning always seems a good time roughly, with some ryanairs and the easyjet in as well!I can remember it always geting a bit hectic!
Cheers

...BASCO usually look after the TFly jets if they have some evening maintenance due or if any minor (or indeed major) engineering jobs need doing... can sometimes see the tail just peeping out of the hangar doors. BASCO seems to be doing incredibly well at the airport.
