So some of the ol' girls must be nearly the same age as the company then???
Great flight outa blk the other day again, even if it did feel like we were off-roading down rwy28, certainly is gettin bumpy down towards end where you do 180 turn, shame your not doing more out of blk this winter, but guess considering the economy, its understandle to be cuttin back, still next winter any chance of a differnt canary island destination other than tenerife, and one last question has Jet2 dropped Gran Canaria, from its list of destinations, dnt see it from any base, Or was it just my imagination playing tricks on me .

Ok, so here's the full article from the Guardian.
I can't seem to see where we got placed second in the European Short Haul, and I can't even find the category of UK Short Haul Airline...

Does someone have the full results. I was interested to see the contenders.

The recent press statement on Jet2 website states its parent company Dart Group Plc made £30 million in 1st half year pre-tax profits, not Jet2.
This figure includes Fowler Welch-Coolchain, a 350 vehicle strong distribution business. It would be interesting to know actual profits for its aviation business.
Also, any news on additional (or replacement) 757s?

Dont know about the finacial situation of Jet 2 I suspect few do !
Operational problems with the 757 and the Leeds Cat 3 ILS must be costing them at the moment and will do so during the winter ! Can this not be fixed as we are losing too many flights. The good old B737s of course can Cat 3 so the services operated by them are more likely to make it back to Leeds in our traditional bad weather. My Companies A300 can Cat 2 into Leeds 100ft decision height and 300m rvr limits. Is it not possible for the 757s to be downgraded to Cat 2 for Leeds Ops which would get them home more often and make crew and pax very happy or is the autoland problem a barrier.

Haulage is one of the industries that's been worst hit by the higher oil prices in the first 2 quarters.
But the whim of oil prices has largely been covered off contractually across the whole of Dart Group.
Fact is, if you read the statements you'll see that both the airline and FWCC are pulling their weight to varying extents, but the proportion of the total contribution of each company to the overall performance of the main company is bound to spike and wane. That's business.
I imagine those lucrative repatriation contracts arising out of the XL demise will contribute to a spike for Jet2 when actual trading figures are released for this period. Likewise, the current and notable downturn in parts of the fresh food sector may possibly be a hit on FWCC.

The Trading Statement to shareholders reported that fuel was also hedged for the haulage firm
That's what I meant when I said that the company's covered itself contractually with regards to oil. Costs are simply passed on, presumably meaning that they apply a flexible surcharge across the haulage business contracts aswell.

To be honest I like the Jet2 craft without the winglets, maybe that was because of a bad flight and poor landing on an Airbus.

Yeah.... LPA is now longer I am afraid. Think LPA may have worked better in the summer months.
LPA has only five UK carriers now with not enough seats to go round and ridiculously high seat prices. The four JET2 LPA routes would have been booming now if they had stuck at it.
They better get back in quick before EasyJet expand their routes or Ryan Air and BMI Baby wake up to the opportunity here.
