Talking Flyjet

What is the latest on their Boeing 767 and what routes are the B757's booked to do this summer?

Judging by the Munich airlines timetable MUC-BDA 11.30 it looks like flyjet may be putting a B757 on the route with a stop somewhere. What is happening to the B767 I do not know? Or maybe their Etops approval isn't up to scratch?

Devil Fly Jet 76

If it stays parked at Man any longer it will get pole position next to the Avro RJ in the A/C spotters park!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All this waiting for Fly Jets 767 and its been gathering dust parked up at Man for the last 6 weeks or more...........................

Quite a few small problems with it, but noone quite seems to know what the major issue is that is keeping it grounded. "Paperwork" with regard to its previous ownership by the Cameroon Government is the most detailed explanation I've been given...

Wow - This sounds like a right cock up.
The Munich airlines flight with a Flyjet B767 (as advertised) in exec config starts 03June, day after tomorrow, yet the aircraft is grounded at MAN. Why is it parked at MAN?
The Bermuda rotation is one a week which means if they put a B757 on the route unless they leave it parked at BDA it will have to fly 2 empty legs between the UK and BDA.
How long will it take to reconfigure the cabin to all exec (4 times a week) and how much will the seats cost?

Also of note is that the vituperative FJE management have gone very quiet of late.

Hi

I know the B757's are busy as I note what they are upto from CFMU, but how much is it costing them to keep a B767 parked at MAN.

No one at Flyjet seems to be talking........

The BDA flight by FJE has been cancelled presumably because FJE can't provide the lift.

Hi all,

Don't get me wrong I like Flyjet as much as the next person, but would never fly with this airline again, due to the delay I had with them last summer.
Unfortunately as they have a small fleet, if one of their few aircraft goes tech, then expect serious delays, due to the fact they cannot find a replacement aircraft.

Cheers.

Every airline suffers from bad periods in terms of delays, from the biggest carrier to the smaller operators and quite often the delay is not down to the airline but sometimes outside factors.

Flyjet have had their fair share of stinking long delays but they are actually currently in the top 5 for punctuality at NCL and MAN, where their 2 757 a/c are based and from what I hear passenger reactions are very favourable, particularly NCL. It seems that they made a good choice in NCL and lets hope it stays that way as they are operating a fairly large winter programme too, from both NCL and MAN.

All airlines suffer delays when ready for departure most have an aircraft at this pre departure stage. In the case of I2, FJE failed to provide an aircraft so the flight was cancelled - that's not so good is it? Anybody know what happened to the passengers?

On the day of the inaugural flight to Bermuda for Munich airlines, Flyjet, who are supplying the aircraft, failed to turn up for the party. Why? Can anyone from FJE comment.

No not at all. Good luck on the BDA route. What really got me was the response from FJ execs to a previous post from NCL Pilot. Not only was it unpleasant it seemed to indicate that something was amiss.
I hope FJE is a happy house.
Regards
EM
