As airhumberside said, they are being brought in slowly as all airlines do. Just imagine all seats for next summer being released at 8am one morning - it would be an online version of a new IKEA store opening.
Also, Blackpool hasn't been brought out as they are still trying to fit a third aircraft into the schedule.

Looks like they do indeed need an extra 757 as SSH and TLV both get additional frequencies out of MAN next year (TLV seems to be doing well enough to generate a full house). Both routes take the best part of an aircraft/day up.

Well the rumours at work from the engineers are that we definatly have 2x more 757s for next year! and also the usual rumours of 767s, but the strongest ones are for 2x more 757s.

See on BLK airport website , the have croatia showing on the destinations map, might this be one of the new routes? If any new routes do come BLKs way what are the like to be ? Wll TFs become a year rounder? ANd Please if anybody at jet2 Or the airport reads this can we have a winter agp????? So far had to book alpl to agp in nov and again in feb, as its not available from blk? Why not? Its one of the most pop routes,a nd yes monarch did reasonably well before thay pulled out out of the smaller airports.

Read online in a article today that LS are interested in the A319? If they hurry they could get a few of EZY's A319s from 03,04 they are selling off, perfect deal! The A319 will also enable them to fly their longer routes without the B752, SSH, TLV

I do not at all share the negative comments against Jet2.I must be flying with a different Jet2.I am always impressed with the service and the aircraft look ok to me.Cabin crew cannot be faulted. I wonder how many times the complainers have used them. I cannot understand why some want the company to fail.They have transformed LBA and in my view they have done a great job.I would like to know what is the average delay time is if the aircraft are so bad. They always seem to be ontime or early at least at LBA.

Maybe Jet2 should think about STN and give Ryanair a run for there
money, there are alot of people that would like to fly with another
Airline but they dont have alot of choice at STN with Ryanair being so big.

Like Wawkrk I have had no problem with Jet2, have flown with them out of LBA, MAN & BLK, never a problem. Flown with EZY several times, same thing. But do NOT talk to me about RYR, no probs with flight crew or aircraft but their business model stinks and check-in staff must have been trained by the Waffen SS, especially regarding baggage allowance. Unfortunately they are the only ones to fly to Granada from NW but I would rather fly to Malaga and travel from there than pay another penny to FR.
J2 are usually more expensive but I am more assured when booking with them. I would almost rather crawl over broken glass than fly RYR.

Aswell Jet2 have hardly ever cancelled a flight like ryanair do all the time, due to operational difficulties ! recently various flights were cancelled due to the bombs going off in palma, our ground staff there said something like 4 flights were cancelled and there was mayhem in front of the ryanair desk, lots were booking onto our flights just to get home!
you may pay £50 for the flight with ryanair, but if it goes wrong and they cancel! you will pay alot more to get home last min with another carrier! Personally id dont want to take that chance! id rather pay a bit more and be assured ill get home. At least Jet2 will get you home, even if it is the next day or a few hours late! ryanair would never put you in a hotel like Jet2 do! they just leave you abandoned!
My self personally, am not worried! they will just attract all the chavs with their low fares, and it will make our fights nicer for regulars!

If Jet2 have any sense the won't try and battle it out with RYR given the current climate !
They would do better to move into somewhere like Bournemouth where Ryanair's commitment is wavering, they have a set up there already and it's a good catchment. Forget STN as well they would have no chance.
God help us all if RYR put the smaller low cost carriers out of business, they are bad enough with what they have now, this looks like a deliberate attempt to put pressure on Jet2.
Good luck Jet 2 !!

Jet2 may just move away from the low cost side all together and concentrate on Jet2holidays more! and expand to more bases! shift the aircraft and crew about that they already have!

We carry alot of nice clientele, lots with alot of money from the leeds area! but as always we also attract the chavs! Ryanair would take them off our hands with their low fares! which in turn would leave us with nicer flights for passengers and crew!
With regards Ryanair cancelling flights, i hear it all the time! PSA the other week cos of a hole in the runway, flights cancelled and also PMI because of the bombs! and thats just recently! maybe im wrong but pax always say to me they prefere us to Ryanair cos of this reason!
