Flyjet aircraft
Flyjet will be leasing 2 xl France a320's next month whilst the 757's are in maintenance and then their being flown to america for conversion to freighters most likely Fed Ex will get hold of them, i wonder where they will be serviced and who by. Its still a shame that flyjet are finishing they could of done very well for themselves with reliable aircraft.

Anyone remind me when the B757s stop flying? Am I right in thinking that G-FJEA is Manchester and ' EB at Newcastle? Would be keen to shoot some more photos one last time.

Last ever FJE operated 757 service will be NCL-ACE-NCL on 4 October, to be operated by GFJEA. EB's last service will be NCL-SSH-NCL on 30 September. Sad really, hope the crew and staff find alternative employment. From reviews they are highly rated among UK Charter companies air crews.

Flyjet
I was really hoping that Flying would keep going as a charter airline it can't be that hard to find other aircraft there again it depends how much money they can afford to kit them out, i work at Mancheter and they have been quite reliable this summer i can only remember one time when they had big problems and that was about 8 weeks ago, does anyone if it is definite that they will become freighters, how come they have swapped aircraft at Manchetster and Newcastle, i would of liked to of seen that 767 that they bought in full Flyjet colours bugger.

The FlyJet people (excluding crew) knew what the future was to bring, and thats why they seemed to be not overly bothered by some of the big delays. They didn't need to worry too much about their reputation, since it is all coming to an end really soon anyway. Any remote chance of rekindling FJE (don't think there was any really) went this Summer when they did a good job (with the BBCs help) of killing their reputation for good.

Looking at that photo, I'd say they'll be here for a while yet - GFJEB is minus an engine, suppose the aircraft needed a bit of TLC after the trouble FJE had with them??
Is Silverjet still using AOC with Flyjet named on it or has it now changed over?
