Hi, my first post. With regard to reorganisation of LS flights at NCL / BLK, is this in any way connected to behind the scenes dealings at LBA (Bridgepoint)? Could they be used on new routes / frequencies from LBA, or is it wishful thinking on my part? Suppose these planes will have to do something? regards, APP.

Hi and welcome to the forum.
I don't know whether you have read earlier in the thread, but at BLK, it is still necessary to have 3 a/c based on the days that the extra aircraft is there.
Take Sunday for example:
ALC - 8.50
PMI - 6.00
FAO - 9.00

Ls@lbia
Cheers MUFC FAN (I've never said that before-we'll be back.).
your reply has set me thinking. Do LS do any W legs into fellow bases to minimise the downtime when routes are part week?-I don't think so. Why not? I would be interested in any opinions.
Regards,
APP.

Actually they do.... or did rather
In the winter they operated MAN-CMF-NCL-CMF-MAN, Im sure there is a BFS-PRG-EDI-PRG-BFS or something very similar going on as well.
Not sure if it still goes ahead but the MAN-PRG on a sunday was ment to be a W pattern as well but not sure how it goes now.
Like Ian says, Jet2's aircraft have a bit of give in the sched's to allow for catch up with delays, so unlike easyjet if 1 aircraft goes tech you dont have to re shuffle the whole base like they do sometimes in NCL.
And as these a/c are OWNED and not leased like other airlines, whatever money they make is Jet2s and not the leasing comapany, so they dont have to fly 6-8 sectors a day

Just read on the jetstream express thread about rumours that Jet 2 are to axe Blk-Bfs, I thought this route was popular in fact I thought they were to increase frequency. In fact if they pull BFS there won't be much left at BLK. Jet 2 seem very quiet at the moment, they had been tempting us with an imminent further release of winter/summer 08 flights weeks ago, but its all went quiet. They seem to be in a period of reflection on their routes so maybe thats where the rumours are from. Does anyone know out there.

Jet2 BLK BFS
I would not be at all surprised if Jet2 axed BFS BLK it is now x2 daily and before it went to X2 it was only achieving 50s in % terms of loads or 60 at most, The double daily was in a bid to get more business traffic and from what i can see the BLK routes are more of a leisure nature, IE the sun routes do well... any comments?

Jet2 @ NCL
Jet2 have anounced they are to pull there Amsterdam route all together as well as their gatwick on a weekend
reason behind the Amsterdam withdrawl is due to competition with KLM flying there 5 times a day.
reason behind the gatwick reduction is due to lakc of buisness on a weekend which figures

See NCL or J2 threads but;
Ref Homer09001 thread on J2@NCL, the Gatwick has not been dropped over the weekend, the Saturday flight has been cancelled during July & August I guess to do other things?

There may only be one 757 flying in the winter, other one will prob go to BFS.
AGP and MJV will prob go back to 737 for winter, unless there is something else up Jet2s sleeve, you never know with these guys
