The new Flybe Malaga is very welcome but its a weekly EMB-195 operating for four months or so. If Jet 2 get 'put off' by that then I would be amazed.

If anything I would be more concerned that the airport put in less effort to get Jet 2, or that they try and insist they don't operate Malaga should they ever agree to a Jet 2 base.

Thanks flybar,I think that comment was aimed at me not you!.

Won't bother asking anymore questions.Am not a spotter,don't own an anorak,never written a registration down ever,just an aviation enthusiast interested in my local airport/airline.

Time to get a new interest me thinks.Now where did I put that stamp album

Don't be deterred - as one who is also interested in the fortunes of Jet2, I found your post to be interesting and relevant. After all they keep my local airport, BLK, going! In my opinion it was wrong of the Mod to take that swipe at you.

Back to the facts - I understood that Jet2 owned its aircraft outright, but from researching the registration history of the new one as outlined above, is it possible that this one is leased?


The Mod didn't take a swipe at anyone. Rather he was giving a gentle prod to all to get the thread out of the registration and liverly posts which, by PPRuNe definition, are firmly in the spotter realm, and back on track. This is neither a new nor a shocking policy. While we generally look the other way for 1-2 posts when they start gathering momentum we step in.

Note that flybars post 2858 below is an example of doing it right. Information that has a business impact, then out.

Lastly, don't take it personally as it certainly isn't intended that way.

Could it be bought in to cover maintenance of other aircraft or expected delays during
winter? If this is the case they would lease rather than buy

Spotters are fine; except when they are surmising about accidents that is. You'd be surprised how many ex-spotters fly heavy metal.

Jet2 moved to Leasing some time ago. The last 757 (LSAJ) is leased as is the ex BMI 737. Makes business sense in the current economic climate.

Chambery & Geneva been closed for extensive periods this weekend. Jet2 are heavily committed to both in the winter.
Not only Edinburgh and Jet2 affected.

Are rumours of Jet2 looking at LIS or OPO from MAN and LBA true?
