I would imagine the new seats would be fitted in the newer aircraft as and when they arrive.... Think this may have been asked before , quite a while ago but times change, would JET2 ever get any airbus?

jet2 would operate airbuses if they could afford them, why wouldnt you? however its no doubt far cheaper to buy old boeing 757/67 sheds than it is to obtain aircraft such as the 321/330

The Jet2 policy of single aircraft manufacturer and the purchase of pre-owned aircraft has been the basis of their success to date, therefore I cannot see the purchase of any Airbus aircraft in the forseeable future. The A320 is too large for the main fleet and there are very few used A319 available. The A321 is not as versatile as the B757 whilst the A330 maybe too large for their envisaged long haul operations.

Jet2 fleet looks OK until you see something new parked next to it, the same is true of the bmibaby fleet.
I don't think pax care too much unless it translates in to tech delays, if you can keep the paint clean and the interior tidy then you have an ok product.
The Ryanair aircraft will use the same fuel to the Med but can carry an extra 37 pax and knock at least 15-20 minutes off the flight time.
Pax numbers for both will make interesting reading over the next six months

Seems they are continuing to obtain new "old" aircraft,yet another B733 this time ex greek has appeared on Jethroes. Says it's currently sat at SNN and due in service in May. It is however a newer example than most of their fleet being LN 2206, this makes it their second newest 733!

Timothy...
Can you back up your sipping statement with some figures.
The B752 will however lift more, go further, go higher, and do it slightly faster.
I challenge anyone to get on one of the recently re-fitted aircraft and describe it as "an old shed".

We all know new generation aircraft are more fuel efficient, so what?
I imagine Jet2 will start upgrading when the time is right.
Ryanair built their business on fuel guzzling Boeing 737-200's. There are many full service airlines still using equipment similar to jet2.

to compare A320 fuel burns to the 757 is not a reasonable comparison. The 757 has a much larger payload / range / performance capacity. The 737-800 is build to do the same job as the A320, thats a more reasonable comparison, or 737-400 to A319.
