The fact someone at Jet2 had a bit of finger trouble when setting up the PSA-NCL times in the timetable and booking engine is causing all the confusion over Jet2's base plan for NCL.
The outgoing flight departs 10:30 local and arrives in Pisa at 14:05 local; allowing for the 1 hour time difference, 2h 35mins flight time.
The return flight departs Pisa at 14:35 local and arrives into NCL at 17:10; allowing for the 1 hour time difference, 3h 35mins flight time.
Unless Jet2 are forecasting expectionally strong headwinds on this route over the summer, one assumes the correct arrival time into NCL is 16:10 local. Which, as a matter of no coincidence, is the arrival slot they have requested at NCL. The 16:10 arrival then leaves ample turnaround for the outbound to AMS.
Factor this in, and some published changes to AGP and PMI times and you have
1 x 146 (all LGW, all BGO and the Saturday ORK)
2 x 757
all TFS
all MJV
most PMI
most AGP
2 x 737 to do everything else
Just hope too many people haven't booked onward transport from NCL after arriving from PSA given the reality is they will be arriving 1 hour earlier!

Jet2 Friday PMI
Pembo330,
It will be one of the two based 752s, does the PMI run in the morning then the TFS run later on, whilst the other A/C does the MJV run.
Hope this helps

Everything has gone very quiet.....end of the month should see the Flybe/Bacon merger completed then perhaps we will hear more about Flybe's plans for NCL (especially the 4 a/c base).

How long did it take easyjet to get 4 a/c up and running when they started 4-5 years ago?

FLYBE
ops guy
I was under the impression that the article about flybe before Christmas was factual at the time. It was after all flybe that took the story to the Chronicle. However given the problems with the merger and recruitment situation I would have thought the plans are unlikely to go ahead now.
Thanks

Its a shame if the plan of a base at NCL doesn't go ahead, there are definate plus points to having BE at NCL, both for the airline and the airport and passengers. The smaller aircraft, such as the Dash8 has the ability to fly smaller, niche routes which may not be viable by current loco carriers at NCL, which have larger aircraft. BE would mix in well on domestic and international business routes, together with short haul european leisure routes, similar to Limoges! I hope when their merger is finalised, we see some expansion.
There are a couple of points to consider though,
Does NCL have the capacity to deal with 4 based aircraft, in terms of checkin, parking and pax facilities?
Are there enough potential routes to support a fairly large operation?
Will BE be able to recruit experienced technical and flight staff at NCL?
Were the promises made in the press reality or just a possibility?
