Jet2 - 3
Looks like the 9th new base could be NWI, to start winter 2010 when airframes may become available...

Righthandrule - is this 2x737 during the week, and 1x737 at the weekend (shared with EDI)?
Aren't 2x737QC needed for the mail flights?

dada,
I know Ryanair threw their dummies out of the pram with London, but there was no rush by JET2 or other airlines to pick up and suck that dummy - My point was that it was neither a second home destination not a package destination, so from BLK no airline including JET2 care.

I doubt Norwich would be a Jet2 base, more likely to be Humberside or Doncaster.
I think, reading the article, that NWI have bagged it. It has been rumoured for a couple of months that Jet2 management have been into NWI to discuss possibilities so i cannot see how it is unlikely.
Id like to be proved wrong but i dont think HUY will be happening, not yet anyway.

I'm not so sure:
The article refers to airlines (plural) & routes. I get the impression it could be several airlines probably operating W patterns rather than a new based carrier - Jet2 or otherwise.

That is true, and i had thought that myself, but saying that 8 new routes to spain and the canaries to start in October 2010 sounds just like a small Jet2 base to me. It could be that Thomas Cook and Thomson could just be operating these flights, perhaps basing an aircraft or as you say W patterns, but how likely is that?
I think it said airlines (plural) when they were including the new Thomson service to Turkey and the new Bulgaria flight.

Im not going to post that on here... I may be completely wrong and misinformed but i doubt it as alot points against it.
I still think the next base is to be NWI anyway.

People at Cardiff are talking of Jet 2 having a base here......Anyone in the airline heard of this, or is it people wishing again?
If you don't want to say on forum where you have heared this then please send me a PM as i am quite intrigued.

Think LS would set up a base at NWI to recruit FR pax away from that horrible place they call STN airport!
Looked at Jet2 for TFS in Dec from LBIA - now nearly 370 pp just for SC!
Not good value with the rate of the Euro.
SSH is not much difference to TFS now in price compared to over 400 pp last year for four star AI.

Wouldn't Norwich be classed as 'South of England', compared to its traditional northern bases?
I suspect there are plenty of second home owners in Norfolk which would be perfect for them to exploit and as has been mentioned get the brand awareness down there.
It would be strange for them to start a base in the winter season though, and there doesnt seem to be any spare aircraft for next summer. All seems very unlikely to me now

And Stansted is actually a nice airport to fly from!

pug,
Norwich is much farther South than Manchester, and much nearer Stansted. and to say it is East England is debatable.
It is granted the East England European Parliament constituency, but really it IMO is in the South East of England.
I doubt you will see JET2 there is the foreseeable future, they have not the a/c after recent expansions at Manchester and East Midlands.
scratchingthesky has been the nearest IMO as to JET2s aspirations to move in on the South of England "slowly". 'If at all'
Also I would think that JET2 are intent on becoming the premier Northern airline first, with room for expansion to other Northern airports such as Doncaster.
