Course Cancelled
It seems anyone who was to start at LBA have now only been offered MAN. With due sufficient warning that would normally not be too much of an issue but with 9 days notice?

I'm not sure that is quite true as I know that Jet2 holidays are wanting to have more long haul breaks available in the future such as the ones they did at the back end of last year to New York. After all another aircraft is set to join G-LSAB to have winglets. Surely this is signs for more long haul flights??

I wouldn't be surprised if they brought back the plan of introducing wide bodied aircraft and look at MCO/SFB. Others I suppose could include Caribbean?
Are there any plans to look a little further afield such as Cape Verde from MAN/LBA - they could make a killing! TOM charge more for a Cape Verde holiday than they do some Caribbean destinations! Same length flight as SSH yet a hell of a lot more lucrative! Perfect for the 757!

Was passing today and stopped for a while to guzzle my fish and chips.
Three Jet2 757s rolled out to depart in quick succession, except number 2 went balls up on the taxi out and was towed back to park.
Any ideas which one it was, and what the problem was?
EDIT: I note the Tenerife flight was nearly 3 hours late departing, so that'll be the one. Any idea what the problem was?

But it taxied out under its own power.
The ladder truck and tug pulled up to it after 20 minutes, and then 3 trucks escorted it back.
It was the same aircraft that departed 3 hours late for Tenerife.

It is possible for engineers to taxi an aircraft under its own power. Cuts down the engine warm up time prior to the high power runs too.
Aircraft don't taxi backwards very well so a tug would be preferable from D1 to taxi under power which would mean a trip along the runway!

Yeah. It was towed back, but taxied out itself.
Either way, regardless of whether it was a problem that developed during taxi out, or the engine runs were taking place as a result of an earlier problem, it was still the Tenerife a/c that departed 3 hours late, right?
Just trying to work out if the delay to the flight was due to tech probs.

Not quite,
G-LSAB departed first of all to Chamberry ..
G-LSAG went down just short of D1 for engine tests then about half an hour later went back to stand 21.
G-LSAH departed to Tenerife arrpox 1.5 hours late, the LBIA arrivals and departures were very unaccurate yesterday the TFS departing at 15.37 not 16.37 as stated on the website. My mum was on it!
