Interesting, seeing as that Jet2 dont seem interested in the Humberside market.. I do understand their concerns though given that Jet2 is a big brand in this part of the world.

My, my.... I suppose Air France will now object to the name of Air Lingus, merely because the word air appears in both names!
But how can there be any confusion betwixt Jet 2 and JetXtra does the former offer 'bags fly for free, assigned seats, free refreshments, no change fees and no card fees'?
David and Goliath... but lets hope the ending to this saga is as it was in the biblical story. And we all know who won that.

Well Ryanair do not advertise, they just come up with a mad idea, (remove a loo, pay for the loo, standing only etc) and hey presto they are in the news and on everyone's mind. Any publicity is good publicity.
On a slightly different note, is anybody noticing tender shoots of recovery? and i must emphasise the operative word 'tender'.

JCSL and righthandrule, it does seem there is more to this, and of course it is largely one sided at the moment.

Do JetXtra actually have any credibility?
I remember that Nexus Airlines start-up with the routes from Liverpool to the Canaries, which never took off. Ryanair entered that market a few years later and made a tremendous success of it.

CAA orders JetXtra to halt ticket sales
Jan 23, 2012 08:45AM GMT
0 Comments and 7 Reactions
Start-up charter carrier JetXtra.com has been ordered to stop selling tickets by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
A partner of travel group CTT, JetXtra plans to operate flights from Humberside airport to Majorca and Malaga for three months from June. Seats went on sale in the second week of January, with the carrier saying all sales would be protected under the CTT Atol.
The airline claimed it halted sales following a threat of legal action by regional carrier Jet2. However, the CAA confirmed it had acted to prevent the sale of unlicensed holidays.
A CAA spokesman said: "CTT sought permission to trade with JetXtra.com. We have not yet approved that and until we do it cannot sell holidays. We would not allow a company to sell seats it does not have a licence for." The spokesman confirmed: "This has nothing to do with Jet2."
CTT holds a licence to carry just 620 passengers in the year to September and only 150 this summer, when JetXtra hopes to carry 9,000 passengers. The CAA previously confirmed to Travel Weekly that JetXtra would only be allowed to offer the number of seats for which CTT is licensed unless it approved an extension.
However, the JetXtra website claimed the halt in sales was "due to Jet2.com legal threats". Jet2.com has written to JetXtra suggesting its name is "misleading".
According to the JetXtra site: "JetXtra.com have been told by the CAA . . . that until a decision is made by Jet2.com in relation to any legal proceedings, the JetXtra.com trading name will not be allowed on to the Atol licence of CTT Group."
JetXtra director Daniel Reilly said: “We are naturally disappointed by this decision. To be hit with this at one of the busiest times of the year for summer holiday bookings is a massive blow."
Reilly claimed: "The decision would appear to be a knee-jerk reaction by the CAA as our legal team have informed us that until such time that an injunction was granted, or there was a court ruling in Jet2.com's favour, that we are free to continue trading as JetXtra.com.
“We will be appealing this decision as soon as possible in the hope that we can recommence sales under the JetXtra.com brand without too much of a loss to our business.”
Potential passengers are still able to check flight prices on JetXtra.com, but no bookings can be made. Reilly said: “Any customer who has already booked should not be concerned as this decision to temporarily halt trading will not affect their booking or financial protection offered under the CTT Group Atol."

Is this not exactly the same as what happened to Nexus Airways?

JetXtra withdraws claim after CAA halts sales of unprotected holidays
Jan 24, 2012 07:30AM GMT

JetXtra.com has withdrawn its claim that a threat of legal action by an established carrier forced it to stop selling tickets, following a rebuke from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
Start-up carrier JetXtra, a partner of travel group CTT, plans to operate flights from Humberside airport to Majorca and Malaga for three months from June. Seats went on sale in the second week of January, with the carrier saying all sales would be protected under the CTT Atol.
JetXtra claimed yesterday that it halted sales at the weekend following a threat of legal action by regional carrier Jet2. However, the CAA confirmed it ordered a stop to sales to prevent the booking of unlicensed holidays.
A CAA spokesman said: "We have been in contact with JetXtra.com and we are talking with CTT Group. We have not sorted out an increase in seat allocation, but are in coversation about extending it."
CTT holds a licence to carry just 620 passengers in the year to September and only 150 this summer when JetXtra hopes to carry 9,000 passengers.

The CAA verified its decision had nothing to do with Jet2.com and was made solely to protect consumers."
Jet2.com commercial director Steve Lee said: “For JetXtra to claim Jet2.com was responsible in any way for the cessation of ticket sales is untrue and totally misleading. We had communicated with JetXtra in private over legal concerns."
Lee described the public use of this correspondence as "amateurish and damaging and a clear example of why we do not want any confusion among consumers between JetXtra and Jet2.com".
He said: "As an Atol-protected leisure company, Jet2.com adheres to the highest levels of professionalism within all areas of our business. We are understandably keen to protect the good reputation of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays.”

A further update, jetXtra have been instructed by the CAA to remove the ATOL badge from their website. The CAA are considering an increase in the ATOL cover, is it really likely to happen?

I guess this may turn into what HUY didn't need?

Ryanair have definitely pulled out AGAIN after 1 summer season. All signage in the Terminal was removed this week. What a surprise! I bet they never saw that one coming did they, O'Leary? What a 
The JetXtra debacle may not be over just yet. Talks are being held with another carrier, an established one this time. One that isnt likely to make HUY metaphorically bend over and be shafted AGAIN.
The company I work for is happy with their lot at HUY as we only have to start a rumour that we may up-sticks and they are changing their underwear again and bow down, scrape and grovel. Its quite funny to see really.
