If LS are to keep the aircraft for afew more years, does anybody think they will have them retrofitted with winglets? Both of their a/c types are able to have the winglets attached, and would help cut down the fuel on those 733s which are fuel guzzlers compared to the A319/B738 that are operated by EZY and FR!

Nope.

Don't think the savings made in fuel would offset the costs of the retrofit with the time left on the airframes....remember, Jet2 "owns" it's a/c through mortgages. The costs of this are but a fraction compared to the company leasing shiny new A319s/B738s.

AA will be in NCL for start of summer, as will AE
But im sure we'll see other machines pass through in the summer
AH AI AG have all been fitted with 238 seats so they will be better used in Leeds no doubt.

LSAA - 228 (may have been put up to 235)
LSAB - 228 (not 100%)
LSAC - 235
LSAD - 235
LSAE - 235
LSAG - 238
LSAH - 238
LSAI - 238
I dont know many airlines with 220 seats on a 757
TCX/MYT/TOM/FCA/FJE/XLA are all between 233-235
Lowest seat config ive known is BA with 180, or Air Scandics leased 757 from Finnair with 227 seats

I see BFS is only getting a 734 and 733QC, will all the routes to/from Belfast be operated by these two, barr the Leeds flights operated by an LBA based 733?

Haven't heard anything about that. Does this mean all of the bases will get a 752 by next year?
NCL, LBA and MAN already have them. If BFS get one this winter, could EDI and BLK have them by next summer?
Maybe LS will end up operating a full fleet of 752s. They are certainly going the way of the charter carriers on that front!
If all the 733s were disposed of by say, 2009, could this mean the airline looks at the smaller 787/350 a/c? They both hold around 250 seats, and have far better take-off and range facilities.
Just goes to show. EZY and FR are operating a/c dont exceed 156 and 189 seats respectively, while LS flies around Europe in it's 238 seater jets, while in competition with EZY at NCL and BFS!
Good luck to LS, and I certainly hope you loose the 733s and keep the 752s coming!
