EDI summer schedule now on sale, little change to this summer's except for Olbia. Can't imagine there's much more to come, if anything.

Great news about the new routes. It good to see that Jet2 are still adding routes despite the current economic climate. Wouldn't be surprised though if Easyjet now increase the duration / frequency of their Ibiza flight from Newcastle.
Also, looking at the timetable, it would appear that the Manchester to Olbia flight is on a W rotation, so is there a possibility of a new route to Sardinia from another of their bases?

Re Olbia, both LBA and EDI appear to be simple out and backs. I cant see BLK-Olbia. NCL or BFS to Olbia maybe but could it be a w pattern from Stansted, with the Stansted leg being a charter? Or some retirmings to come?

The Alicante flight is now estimated at 1530 tomorrow - is this a 24 delay or is the flight being merged with tomorrow's? Also, the Belfast - Leeds has been diverted to Manchester so not a good day for Jet2

I flew ALC-DUB on the 22nd while the delayed ALC-LBA flight was on the ground, they just kept saying next info in 20, 50 mins etc, I can imagine it was very frustrating for the passengers. There was one of their 757s parked remoteley so I quess that was the one with the tech problem.

I believe the part was sourced, companies light aircraft was dispatched to collect the part, then were let down by the supplier. Due to that, the part had to be found from an alternative source. Just one of those things I am afraid.

Dart Group AGM
LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Dart Group Plc. said it is very encouraged by its current trading performance.
The Aviation and distribution company said the greater emphasis on leisure destinations within Jet2.com's flying programme has had a positive impact on both yield and load factor in its Aviation business.
It added revenues have been further boosted by strong late demand, which, combined with careful cost control and strong growth in charter flying, has resulted in an improved operating margin, which is expected to continue for the year as a whole. Trading in the Distribution business, Fowler Welch-Coolchain, has been in line with the company's expectations despite the poor summer weather impacting on distribution volumes from traditional summer foods, Dart said.

So the trading statement says that the distribution business is trading as expected but gives no hint as to whether the airline is ahead of, at, or behind expectation. Just a lot of warm words. Hardly a positive statement, more a sop to the investors.

So, Distribution = trading in-line.
Overall Group = "very encoraged by performance"
Reasons stated for encouragement
- aviation yeilds = UP
- aviation volume = UP
- aviation operating margin = UP
..and from that you are unable to deduce whether the aviation side of the business is doing better than expected????

Do your believe everything you read? If so then there was of course weapons of mass detruction in Iraq, there is going to be no recession and Jet2 are doing great!
Of course Yeilds, volume and operating margins are up (on last year) They have more aircraft and more routes than last year... But its still the summer season. What happens this winter, MAN for example has, I think, 6 routes, 1 of which is 1 flight a week. Que tumble weed at BLK, and NCL is fairly quiet...
This winter is going to take a fair chunk out of all the hard work this summer.
You can say Margins are up etc etc but what about future margins? With the winter ahead its going to be quiet but next summer is looking ok. Next year I think we might all look ahead to a restructure if the economy doesn't improve...

Yes, they do say that operating margins are up......but compared to what?
It's like saying that your bookings are massively up 500% when you've now got 6 booked when you previously had 1. With no frame of reference it's just meaningless drivel. Still, you can always put your money where your mouth is if you're that encouraged?
Nah, thought not...
