BOH?

Taken from the BOH thread, a discussion around Jet2 is mentioned.

What is the appetite at Jet2 for BOH? Yes Jet2 got its fingers burned by doing BFS back in 2005, but that isnt representative of BOH potential. The airport is wide open for exploitation right now.

NCL-EWR Flights

Hi - just had a look at the online booking for these flights. Seat E seems to be missing from the 757 on these flights (well, it appears on the map as a tiny seat). Are these flight operating with reduced max passenger loads?

I believe it's a system glitch. There is no cap on the passenger load.

Nakata77, PM once famously stated that half of the BOH catchment area is in the English Channel. Not usually a man to change his mind.

Strange thing to say considering they have a base at BLK..

Wasn't Jet2 branded as the "North's Low Cost Airline" or something along those lines (up until recently - I haven't seen for a while)? Keeping that in mind, EMA is really the furthest south they could go if they want to keep that ideology.

The “"North's Low Cost Airline" slogan has been in use for some time, but has largely been replaced with “Friendly Low Fares”.

I don’t think the “North” slogan represented any kind of ideology, but was more of a statement of what the airline was and is.

If the airline believes it can expand profitably from other airports in the UK, a southern location would be unlikely to be a stumbling block.

I think any further bases will be further south. They have the north sewn up now.

I disagree, there are still plenty on Northern airports ripe for Jet2.

I think an Aberdeen base could work. Also, with Durham and Humberside, there is potential there. Bases at these two would not dilute LBA and NCL respectively.

Regards

Mike

I know what you mean Mike, but i dont think they will ever open any more northern bases. They seem to be more interested in entering much bigger markets.

I heard it was cargo, as they make most of their money from the Royal Mail contract, stick some cargo doors in the old B757's...perhaps they should
re-brand to....."Committed to cargo"....pmsl

I see Jet2 today announced a new route from its Edinburgh base to Malaga for summer 2011.

Flights will operate 2 weekly operating on Wednesday and Saturdays starting from April 2nd.

Does this mean a 5th aircraft required for the EDI base after all?

The two 737-800s will be based at Manchester. Glasgow will have a 733 and a 752, at least initially.

738 at MAN will work well, with 189 seats on offer.

At least there will be no performance issues at MAN. Once the TORA reduces below say 2500m, MTOM is not always assured.

Different beast compared to the 733. Speed are much higher for T/O & landing. Vref30 on the average day about 140 kts mark.
.78+ and FL410 does help.

"Jet2 announced today a new route from its Edinburgh base ........"

Great!!! At least that is what I thought until I tried to make a booking.

Can anyone explain how loading each web page can fully load my computer for five or six minutes ?

I eventually gave up and came to pprune for more information.

And somehow I dont think I am the only person in Scotland with a slow internet connection.

It's just your connection. Nothing wrong with the booking engine.
