Daollo Airlines have never operated their own metal on that run.
Jet2 are doing it till about Feb/March im lead to believe, Daollo have previously used Airtours/MyTravel with their 757 and 767 from LGW, as well as other carriers, before Jet2 it was Air Slovakia who pulled out at quite short notice. However jet2 are having a few problems getting the cabin crew do to the flights.

Mod Contract?
Jet2krazey,
I've not heard about that and can't find any other info relating to Jet2 having landed an MOD contract, care to elaborate?
I know that FGS have landed a couple of MOD contracts from BZZ to Falklands and Doha.
Cheers

Hi
Jet2 B757-200WL, G-LSAB has operated twice so far this week from RAF Brize Norton
She positioned out of LBA on both Sunday 4th and Thursday 8th as LS188P and has returned twice so far. Once on Tuesday as the LS189P and again this morning as it was showing on the LBA website live Arrivals page.
Hope that helps a bit.
PS. Dont Jet2 now also operate a Boeing 737-300 on the Palmair contract from Bournemouth?

Bet there was a few double-take looks from ex Channex staff while thats been sitting there!
At least it's operated by ex Bournemouth based crew, so those who have families and houses down there were chuffed.

Due to the success of the New York flights Jet2 put on in November and December Jet2 holidays are looking at commencing more long haul detinations from LBA.
There has been rumour that a Canadian destination may well return to LBA. Could this be a route for Jet2?
Does anyone know any more than this?

Speaking of the New York flights, I heard a rumour from a well-placed source that most of those flights left LBA with every intention of routing via Gander, with the fuel and weight at departure not permitting direct routing to Newark.
Can someone on the inside blow this rumour out of the water? I'm normally pro Jet2 so I'm not mischief-making, but this source is generally pretty good, albethey not an insider.

As far as I understood the situation, Jet2 had every intention of routing these flights direct to EWR. However, additional time was allowed in the schedule to allow for such a diversion if required.

Weather was the big unknown with the EWR flights. For the first 2 the weather behaved & a direct flight was achieved. For the last 2 it was less favourable and a tech stop was required.
No drama - but proves even PM can't control everything!!

Any chance we will see some red and silver at Durham Tees Valley this summer now that Flyglobespan are obviously not coming back (not that we believed them anyway!). Even a 1 aircraft base just doing the main sun routes would work wonders. Depends whether Jet2 have any spare 733's though.

Latest edition of Travel Trade Gazette confirms that Jet 2 will keep a Boeing 737 300 at Bournemouth in what will now be a long term arrangement and that Palmair cabin crew will take over from Jet 2 crew once they had been trained up on the aircraft

What configuration is it in at the mo? Am I right in thinking TFS, ACE & FUE are all quite long legs on a 148 seat 733!?!
Wonder where they have pulled that 737 from? Going to be some cuts or is there plenty of slack in the network over the summer?

With the talk of EWR flights - have always thought that Jet2 would be ideal for NCL-ORK-EWR. Both NCL and ORK have been lookin for T/A flights and they could also tie in their NCL-ORK-NCL flight with the same aircraft making it that bit more profitable, thus killing 3 birds with 1 stone so to speak. This is just my own idle thoughts - any others got comments.

...and yep the 733 is capable of doing the Canary islands non stop from most airports in the UK with full capacity. It probably used to be one of the most common aircraft on the route between the UK and the Canaries back in the 80s - 90s.

I notice that Jet2 have imposed another 'stealth' charge.
For the pleasure of booking direct with the airline a 3% Reservation Fee is added at the payment stage. This is in addition to the credit card charge and the only way to avoid both these charges is payment by Solo or Electron.
