Well I can,t see
the AGP been axed very popular route
TFS - MAYBE
AMS - GOOD BREAD and Butter route
PMI - SEASONAL only
As 146 currently used ncl lgw , i could see them sending it back and using own acft.
Would like to know how the LBA-DUS DOES on a weekly basis ?
Also i am getting bad vibes regarding the fares from Jet2, they seem to change there offers daily.Also they are now turning out to be more expensive than other carriers not just the loco,s ???Has the Package Holiday market caused this ??
I recently returned from Alicante and it must have been an ex China Southern 757 and i must say it was well used inside even chinese writing in the cabin ( with english conversation of course)
Does Mr Meeson have any future plans to replace old with new ?
Dont get me wrong i love LS but put me 0n a nice Fr 737-800 or Ezy A319 ANYDAY

You can't book NCL-AMS after June 3. Timetable ends on that day. Suppose chopping the AMS would mean the leased 146 which must be expensive to operate, can go back, and the 737 can go onto the LGW.
That's the only rumour I've heard.

Jet2 on course for record year after flying start to summer
05.05.07
Low cost airline Jet2 has had its busiest start to summer trading ever. Year-on-year passenger figures for holidaymakers flying with the airline on May 1 were up 58 percent on 2006, boosted by the launch of its packaged holiday business.
The Leeds Bradford Airport-based airline has enjoyed rapid growth since launching, but passenger figures for May 1, and pre-bookings for the remainder of May, are already in excess of 50 percent up on 2006, the airline said. It is on target to carry more than 4m customers in its current financial year.
The airline said that the successful launch of its unique package holiday business Jet2holidays.com had boosted trading. Mandy Round, General Manager of Jet2holidays.com, said: 'May 1 was the day we officially started taking customers on holidays packaged together using our own low cost flights. The take-up for our packaged holidays has been fantastic and has contributed to such a strong start to summer trading - the sales growth is even more remarkable at a time when there has been such a huge amount of consolidation in the package tour sector.'
'We have managed to outmanoeuvre the bigger tour operators by sticking to three very straightforward principles. Firstly, we are ultra-competitive on price and we can do this by providing 'market rate', as-it-happens pricing, not brochure prices which may have been set and published last year. Secondly, our properties are three to five-star only, which is not typical for package holidays, especially low-priced deals, so our customers can be assured of excellent accommodation when they arrive in their named hotel, apartment or resort. Finally, we take customer service extremely seriously and we believe that just because we offer excellent value for money, our standards should not be compromised.'
The airline said that it was on schedule to smash its annual passenger figures. It expects to carry around 4.4m in this financial year.

Kingdee... you have to remember one thing, 10 years ago with EZY and FR started flying (roughly) they used old aircraft, EZY has 737-300 (same as Jet2 used to SET UP the airline) and also Ryanair used 737-200.
Jet2 is only about 5yrs old now... maximum! so eventually yes brand new aircraft will be added. But for the mean time Jet2 still seems to get so many passengers, and I cant tell you how many compliments are recieved regarding cabin crew, service, time keeping etc etc
Something is obviously been done right, if Jet2 are on target to smash 4.4million pax this year.
Regarding Rumours....
AGP is staying! - no changes to times or operating aircraft
LGW is time chaging, 1 morning, 1 afternoon, 1 tea time
AMS is axed (low loads)
KRK is being upgraded to 757 but only on mon and fri now, sat service axed.
NCL will still see 5 based units, 3x 737 2x 757
More routes to be added for winter such as LPA.
As the summer season slowly kicks in passenger figures on board are steadily rising! altho some flights may only got with 140 pax on a 757 to AGP or PMI, its 140 pax that would have travelled with EASY last year prob, so I dont think they are doing anything bad here.
Flightline 146 is going back and being exchanged for a MD80 which will be BLK based anyway.
i wouldnt say AMS is bread and butter route, Id say MJV and ORK would be that! they are always busy flights! as is that BGO in the summer.

it still gets good loads, especially Thu/Fri and Sun
Travel these days and you can expect to see laods of 130 upwards both directions, on quieter days maybe just under 100 each way

BHX Charters
Per a local forum JET2 have an aircraft based at BHX from tomorrow until Saturday operating back and forth to Alicante.
It is no surprise in winter to have a "spare" for such flights and indeed BHX has had a few JET2 corporate charters during last winter.
Do JET2 have a spare rostered for the whole summer for such charters and to cover tech delays?
Or is it a case that this aircraft starts schedule ops in a few weeks?
It is only one flight a day but for five days in a row.
I was just surprised to that an airline such as JET2 would have a spare aircraft in the 2nd week of May but I assume it must be viable or they simply would not consider it.

You do find that Jet2 are not as tight on schedules as some others so have the flexibility should a problem occur, I suppose this is because the aircraft are quite mature and don`t have to be earning pennies every minute of the day

As you can see, there are many people wanting to know when the winter schedule becomes available. If they are to gain a stance on EZY at NCL, BFS and EDI, then they need to produce something soon!
Also, TOM and ZB have released their services from MAN for the winter. I suppose that is why LS released some of their hot spot routes earlier this year, to refrain from loosing competiton to these carriers.
At BLK and LBA, there is not much competiton (if any!), so these two bases are probably less important compared to the others at the moment.

Yes re Jet2: winter
I live WITHIN 1h15MINS OF MAN/LBA/LPL/DSA Lba is my nearest but i am looking at Zb MAN-FAO for the winter as JET2 have not got their flights on sale yet ex LBA so they are going to lose my business unless they release within the next week .

Don't forget that Jet2 (Channel Express as was) have maintained a base at Stansted where the aircraft (a 737) is used specifically for passenger charter work of all kinds. Can't say for sure but this could be the aircraft involved in the series of BHX flights.
Also fair to say that the schedule from the main bases is still not in full operation - from Leeds some of the current daily routes still have to go double / tripple daily whilst other destinations (Toulouse, Almeria & Valencia) don't start until next week.
I would counter MUFC fan's asertion that bases without competition are less important - I reckon Jet2 are able to extract better yield from these bases than those where they are subject to ZB, EZY and the suchlike.
