Last time I saw G-IFIT was up in NCL a few years back when it flew up the only crew available to operate a flight that was so badly delayed due to the snow, that 3 crews went out of hours to operate a TFS!!
Apprently it's having larger fuel tanks fitted and a sales cart, to cover the 737-8's that keep going tech!!
It should have a special PPRuNe thread of it's own!!

One would think the 737-800 would be the most reliable aircrafts in the fleet right now, but no, how come they're going tech so often? Didn't they went through a number of checks before starting operating for Jet2 earlier this year?
First the engine fire a week ago and just today G-GDFC departed almost 4 hours delayed for the FNC service. I would guess for technical reasons again..

G-IFIT
Seen G-IFIT a lot recently inside hangar 1 of Multiflight, Good little aircraft, great for shuttling crews from base to base. Last time i saw it, it was having some work done to it's right engine.

As metioned elsewhere, Jet2 have announced GLA-FCO 3 weekly starting summer 2012.
However, GLA-Murcia seems to have dissappeared even though the route was only announced 2 or 3 months ago! Any ideas why?

If your flight was LS918 last night, I was watching FR24 when your aircraft, on a straight-in final approach to 05 at 6000ft and after passing Chester, turned north closely followed by a TCX B767. This allowed a TCX (or TOM) B757 aircraft approaching from the south to land before your aircraft and the TCX 767. Both your aircraft and the TCX 767 did two circuits in a hold over Wigan before returning to land on 05.
If you were told that you were giving way to an aircraft with a technical problem it certainly was not a Jet2 aircraft.
Hope you had a good holiday.
To confirm that the aircraft that took priority was the late running TCX2159 from Santorini.

CL I think you will find crews are normally shuttled around bases in the back of Peugeot Estates that have seen better days, by drivers that have also seen better days !!!
G-IFIT would only be pressed into crew shuttling, if FTL's meant a certain flight might be canx and therefore incur huge compo costs from aggrieved punters..
As for a great little aircraft...your welcome to a flight in it... in icing conditioms in the middle of the night surrounded by Engineers toolboxes and crates of Kolsch

Thank's I did have a good holiday.
To confirm my flight was LS918,,,We where 20 mins late leaving Tenerife and was expected to be late.
The captain said " We have made good time" and he expected to land approx 0025...
Then he said "despite best efforts we have to keep in holding position as an a/c with technical troubles took priority" - He went on to say " The runway would have to be inspected" and he expected a 15 to 20 min delay.
Which was not that far out.

Jet2 - 3
Anybody know why todays LS223 to Tenerife returned to LBA. It departed at 17.08 (scheduled at 15.20) and returned at 18.56 after being in the hold for 20 minutes plus.
The flight appeared to turn round north of Anglesey. The aircraft was G-LSAB - B757.

Must be those damn palm trees and beach parasols causing the disruption,,,I mean where are they when you need one in BFS,DUS or AMS 
....
The tech delays you see at the moment JSCL is pretty normal for an ancient classic fleet being spanked around the Med mid summer. Look on the bright side, at least it keeps the engineers in overtime

Delays at LBA
Jet2 seem to have some real problems today at LBA, a couple of delays in excess of four hours and one indefinite delay (AMS). What's the problems and any planned subs? Was thinking of booking a flight with them for September but with these sort of delays, am wondering if it's wise,

Not too clever at MAN either.
Malaga 7 1/2 hours late
Palma 4+ hours late
Ibiza 4 1/2 hours late.
All these flights are B757's.
I don't think Jet2 will be climbing off bottom place in the punctuality stakes this year.
