Yes the aircraft has been parked up on the central apron for atleast a week now. I guess its ready to start operations from EMA in May. Also FR have 8 aircraft at EMA, we are only using 5 a/c untill the 28th.

G-LSAD had its new white paint job for the summer, they've kept it white because its going on lease next winter. Jet2 have been advised not to get a 76 because its not a good time to get into long haul market.

I had heard that the 767 were coming into the fleet to add extra seats to the busiest short haul routes this coming summer.
If they thought they could make money on long haul or getting some charter work for summer 2011 then they would be happy to take the risk going long haul for summer 2011
maybe they havent won a contact for long haul routes for next summer from one of the big tour operators thomson or thomas cook holidays???

I think that's a shame, if only because I'd love to see the look on MOL's face as a full Jet2 767 departed for Alicante, either from LBA or anywhere else ... but I guess he'd be tempted to give away totally free flights to avoid that happening Though I reckon it could be done maybe, when TOM was in its second year from DSA the 767 which came back in on the Orlando flight went out, if I'm not mistaken with pax to Alicante, and it was always pretty full!

I hear monarch are involved as are a fair few others, needless to say jet 2 were not invited to tender due to their reliability issues

Must be a welcome boost for jet 2, ive been spotting at manchester quite abit recently and lots of their planes seem to be grounded doing very little on distant remote stands, im sure they will do a great job helping out BA

I hope they are able to complete the stand-in work for BA without the need to delay or cancel any of their own flights (...it might be financially expedient to do this, given the price BA may be paying to charter the aircraft)

A bit worrying that they have this much spare capacity during a peak week!

some people just like to try and make things look worse than they are for the airline.
