volcanic ash disruption
Has anybody received a refund for their flights?.Is it the cost of the original flight that is refunded or the special emergency flights laid on by the airline?
Thanks

It's the cost of the replacement flight that is refunded as far as I know. It will take some time to refund everyone, but extra staff from other departments have been working full speed to process the refunds. It will take a long time to get everyone refunded I think.

Fulham fans flying high with a helping hand from Jet2.com
Assuming that there weren't ELEVEN 757s, it was ELEVEN 757 flights...
Even so, I count 6 757s on the ground there in Hamburg where as, according to Jethros, the company only own 10.
Can anybody tell me how the operations department have been able to swing it so that 6 757s can be taken out of schedule (granted, there is still some flexibility before the full summer season begins) and still operate a full scheduled service?! Those men and women sat in that operations department are clearly not human!
Unless they have replaced a number of 757 flights with 737s?

Operations departments don't "swing" aircraft availability.
Commercial departments work with fleet planning to look at what availability they can free up, based on seat sales (weeks/months in advance) and knowledge of potential requirements based on history.
It was infact 6 individual 757s and 5 individual 737s which operated services to HAM. 2 757s were required to return to the Uk to operate services whereas the rest daystopped/nightstopped downroute.

2xB767s for JET2
Rumours have been around since 2007 that JET2 were going to have a couple of B767s. Very recently it was confirmed by JET2 that they had come very close to acquiring two B767s from Brazil but had turned down one of them due to technical reservations with an engine that the owners did not want to underwrite and were compelled to abandon the deal, as both airframes needed to be of the same type.
This was a confirmation that the airline were actively searching for two B767s.
It would appear that the moment has come to post another reasonably well founded news item that JET2 have almost certainly negotiated the acquisition of two B767s as follows:
Man.Num: Model: Registration: Position: Former Airline:
30586 B767-319(ER) G-CEOD Stored at Shannon (SNN) Fly Globespan
29388 B767-319(ER) N381LF Stored at Miami (MIA) Fly Globespan
Also the newly acquired B752 G-LSAK from ATA Airlines that was in Lasham until recently now appears to have been moved to Norwich (NWI). Anyone know why it has been moved to NWI and for what purpose?

My memory may be playing tricks on me but I recall there was a post somewhere from someone called 'Lasham???' saying that G-LSAK was in Lasham for a paint job or perhaps they may have said for an 'oil change' and 'checkup'.

G-LSAK had not been planned into service until mid May. It had been stored at Lasham awaiting a maintenance slot which was scheduled for the beginning of April until the first week of May. The work at Lasham included a heavy maintenance check, interior modifications and winglet installation. This was a significant maintenance input. It has now departed to Norwich for paint and may enter service a little later than planned but if you were aware of all of the circumstances you would realise that its entry to service will be a not too insignificant achievement

lashamcat.
thanks for the quick reply and info.
im not aware of all the circumstances, but would i be correct in thinking that there was more work to be done on it than originally thought?

I would not say more work than originally planned, just that as the aircraft was "spare" some parts had been used for other aircraft on check earlier in the Spring and the Volcanic Ash closures significantly affected the supply chain of spare parts required during the maintenance check. This was not unique to Jet2 aircraft on maintenance.
