Toronto??
Yes, I think GIB might work and why not Athens. The one I would like to see is Toronto. If they could fill a lump 20 years ago with 457pax, then surely it would be full today.

The Toronto flight with Wardair was always via BHX,so never a full load of pax from LBA on a 747.I think the subsequent operators Worldways and Odyssey also split the load.
I would love to see a Toronto flight reintroduced from LBA,now Jet2 have done the Newark flights,who knows maybe a limited series of flights to Toronto next summer.In the current economic climate I won't hold my breath though!

What would be the logic of splitting a load LBA - MAN - YYZ,
what would any airline gain by half filling a 757, start up, taxy, take off for a 15 min flight, land taxy, finish loading, fuel, taxy, take off again !, x2 landing fees and loads of fuel burnt.
It would be cheaper for the airline to pay for taxis for Yorkshire PAX to drive the 40 mins over the M62 to MAN.

Cos people like me would not drive across the M62 to Manchester and pay for car parking etc or even travel to there by any other means when I can get on the flying machine next door at Leeds and arrive at my destination even if via Amsterdam or Heathrow. A semi direct service to Canada maybe outbound via Manchester or Belfast and back direct to Leeds would attract my pennies to the airline concerned.

757 Speedbrakes, may I be permitted to correct your post #1547 ? ... The ETOPs clearance is actually 138 minutes.
And plans are afoot ...............

Come on guys get real
When Wardair were at Leeds oil was $11pb.........opec intended to support $75 in the medium term so as was said above it would be cheaper to put them all in Range Rovers and drive them over t'hill (in case it snows)

wardair direct YYZ
the propensity to fly nowadays is far greater than 20 years ago. The first summers flights to YYZ with Wardair were definitely direct, but thereafter my memory has faded....perhaps someone can confirm? I remember the first one left with 457+2 and 2000kg of freight and they were all well supported, so the demand was there. Operating via Bhx was more due to scheduling than lack of demand. I dont think Jet2 will have gone to all the trouble of gaining an etops just for a few flights to Newark, do you?

True, I agree with that.
LS flights to NY are extra 'ETOPS' proving flights, As well as giving it's crews the experience of LH flights.
The Wardair 74 went out on a Monday Afternoon to YYZ via BHX.
If memory serves me, The 1st flight was in Nov 1984?
I think LS will be adding more US/CAN flights in the next few months?

Profits up
And how long ago was it that everyone was predicting they were the next to go ......
LONDON (ShareCast) - Aviation (AHGIQ.PK - news) and distribution group Dart revealed a 97% rise in interim pre-tax profit after (Advertisement)
a strong performance from its low cost leisure airline Jet2.com.
Pre-tax profit rose to £36.3m for the six months ended 30 September 2008 from £18.4m the year before. Turnover rose 8% to £272.8m.
"This significant improvement in trading performance was principally driven by Jet2.com, the group's low-cost leisure airline, and reflects both improved yields and load factor," Dart said in a company statement.
The is however not paying an interim dividend, as it remains "cautious approach in recognition of current economic conditions."
Looking ahead to future trading, Dart said on an underlying basis, it expects second half trading to be in line with last year.
Jet2.com forward booking levels remain encouraging for the winter and its distribution unit Fowler Welch-Coolchain continues to perform in line with the board's expectations.
"We expect a more challenging trading environment next year and will continue to manage the business cautiously in the light of current economic conditions," the group added.

It may be 25%, but its only 5p! Can anyone tell me why the share price has dropped so much over the last 18 months - 2 years? I know the price of fuel, tough times etc but a steady drop from about 160p to circa 25p is still a hell of a drop. I presume taking on XL work etc must of helped trade, plus reducing the t & c's of crew!

What Dart actually says is overall trading performance is up, as a result of Jet2 activity, without really explaining whether Jet2 (passenger numbers down 10%) is turning a profit.
There's not a scrap of profit information on Jet2, only "aviation services" revenue - and, as they say, "profit is sanity, and revenue's vanity".

I guess airlines in general have declined over the year, so negative ZeBedie are you jealous as well?
Beggars belief this website, there is some good news during these bad economic times and people are still negative and dismissive
Well done to Jet2 and its staff for doing such a good job!
