Seen as no one else mentioned it, I will. How about major expansion at NCL to see off EZY who don't seem too keen at the moment? Add a couple of those nice 'new' 738s to the base and they could do very nicely on european routes, and of course bring the 767 through for florida etc.

If I've read the CAA information correctly, in the year up to 31st March 2009 (most recent available) Jet2 made a profit of about £23 million (before taxes). For comparison, in the same year, Monarch made a £70 thousand profit (something for the Monarch thread Jet2 bashers there!), easyJet a £92 million profit, Flybe a £16 million loss, and BA made a £454 million loss. Someone do correct me if I've read the wrong figure though!

23/11/10.
50%jump in profit to £38.5m..spending up from£6.5m to £35m,due to new hub for fowler welch and aircraft overhauls.
end of sept cash balance still boyant thanks to advanced customer payments of £40m.
(the hitcher) maybe you misheard?
Methinks The Hitcher may well have failed his probation. Circulating unfounded rumours that are blatantly not true (especially as accurate information is easily available) is clearly not accepatble (IMHO)

Seems the 2 737s to be aquired for Summer 2011 are indeed NGs one being ex Transavia and the other ex TUI. Nice move for Jet2 they should give some flexability between the 733s and 752s. I suspect more will be sourced as and when they become available.

Can flight crews be dual rated on the 300 and NG 737's ?
I remember a conversation with a BA Captain quite a while ago and he said he was rated for both the 737 200 and 400 models but to keep current he was required to fly a certain number of hours per month on each model.

david1994:
So far confirmed acquisitions are two B752s from TOM, one B738NG from TUI and one B738NG from Transavia.
IF, IF, IF, JET2 had acquired a further 5 B738s from Transavia then why has there been no official announcement nor any confirmation in the various websites that maintain airline fleet lists? Nor has there been any annoucement to the shareholders.
An acquisition of 5 x B738NGs by JET2 would be very big news indeed. They have never said anywhere that they proposed such an upgrade in their fleet and only reported to be interested in 2 B752s and 2 B737s.
Perhaps you could let us know the source of your information.
Recently an airline in the Ukraine acquired 6 B767-300ERs, so your news of the extra 5 B738NGs for JET2 could be but it doesn't make sense.
Jet2 have bought 5 B737-800's with winglets from Transviva. And one will be in BFS for a route to Larnaca!

There will be a B737-800 registered on Monday 6th as G-GDFC was previously PH-HZC and also the TUI aircraft will be acquired from TUI and is due prior to summer 2011
