We are splitting hairs I would suggest!
Whether it was under taxi out (it wasn't - there were no pax on board) or an earlier problem, it is still a tech problem!!
Incidentally, high power runs are now undertaken at D1 or in the loop for these larger aircraft dependant on wind direction. Options for high power runs on the apron are somewhat limited partly due to vehicle / personnel movements and because the car park now surrounds most of stands 19 - 24. The public don't take kindly to having their cars pebble dashed while they are on holiday apparently!!

The latest news from my mole in engineering is that the 737NG rumours were based on actual airframes, which were examined in some depth, together with engines, and rejected.
The reason for rejection was unspecified.
There remains a 767 rumour however.
Here's hoping....

Would be a great opportunity for BA to launch it's 'Back to the Regions' campaign! No one heard of it?
I would think it would be BE who will fly it and I would think that they may look to start in May but I haven't heard anything and that is just a gut feeling. LS have tried NCL and MAN to LGW and they failed but they did have competition on those routes so they may be in the line but I doubt it...

Hi
Well it's well known that Jet2 have had talks to DSA in the past and probably have again recently to renegotiate an extension to their current LBA diversion operations, Especially now that DSA has CATIII on its runway and that they may want to include some extra training sorties.
They can’t expand to much more for this summer with the current size of the fleet. As all the aircraft are needed for the summer programme at the current LBA, MAN, BFS, EDI, NCL, BLK, STN and EXT base's.

Well aren't TOM looking to reduce flights from DSA?
Would be good to see LS put an a/c in DSA next summer. I don't think they have flights to MJV and other LS points which would be good to see.
I would think DSA or MME would be LS's next port of call but we haven't seen much since BLK. Probably not the best climate at the moment but DSA would probably be on the cards now that Jet2holidays is up and running.

How about a Jet2 to base at Humberside Airport with one based Boeing 737-300/QC next summer 2010. Both Low cost scheduled and Jet2 Holidays brand operating flights to destinations in Spain and elsewhere across the network. You might have the advanatage off some over night freight work to Germany with some of the local fish.
Now that would casue a stir at both DSA and MME..

Yeah like the previous 'offer' at HUY which was 'turned away'.
Plenty of room if MAG would want it. Next year would be the perfect time too with all the losses so far this summer...

Well, 10/10 for advertising by Jet 2.
Just about every website I have been on this week - Jet 2 advert.
Buses - Jet 2 advert.
Papers - Jet 2 advert.
Local TV - Jet 2 advert.
They have got the right idea, It is the least they can do in this current 'Financial Mess'
Good Luck To Them.
I am thinking about booking ACE for a week with Jet 2, But is it worth it with the EURO right down to 0.99??
Plenty of people have said ALC & TFS are REALLY quiet at the moment - Too quiet!!
SSH is filling up!!

I agree with the above poster,Jet2 adverts are everywhere at the moment.
Loads of billboards around advertising holidays from £99.
I am going to SSH from LBA next week.The flights do appear to be proving popular.
We booked our flights last October for around £280 each,when I checked the price last weekend for next weeks flight it was a whopping £425,today it is £375.

As a DSA forum member, who doesn't place much store by these rumours ...
On the one hand I can't see why it should happen. I would have thought Jet2 had enough going from LBA and MAN et all in the present climate but on the other ...
If they did start just 2 or 3 routes they wouldn't necessarily be competing with TOM in the same market. TOM are heavily into the package holiday while JET2 (correct me if I'm wrong) are predominantly flight only. There've been a few people around these parts asking for flight only flights just lately. Then again, making the move now the CATIII is in operation makes sense because I don't know how much a diversion costs, or how much they cost Jet2 last year, but it must make the operations side a lot easier knowing with much more certainty that the a/c are going to end up where you want 'em. And then again, if Jet2 are thinking of going transatlantic with a 763 or something then as well as pax I'm sure they'd want it packed with as much freight as it could take to make it as profitable as possible. Having a runway of DSA's length would give them that option without the need for a (presumably extra cost??) re-fuelling stop.
Having said all that, I still don't think it'll come to much.

I dont know Teevee but i though that at the moment LS were moving into the charter side of things as its where there is more stability at the moment. Correct me if im wrong though.
I suppose its 50/50, i could perhaps see them using DSA if they think they can generate enough without stepping on their LBA operations too much, or it could just be Peel trying their luck whilst discussing the aforementioned diversion/training flights.
To be honest i dont think there is a great relationship between some of the LS bigwigs and MAG though i would again be happy to be told othersise..

I think Jet2.com would be great At DSA, I think they would be good at City Routes and Some Spanish Routes Like Re-starting Amsterdam and Paris Properly and even would also be good at serving Murcia, Granada and maybe even New York and Gibraltar.....

Can't see Jet2 doing a New York ex DSA when they don't do it from their main airports LBA/MAN which both have much larger populations including businesses than DSA. Yes I know they did some Xmas shopping charters ex LBA but thats not the same as a regular service is it?
Get real Jet2 are not stupid the reccession will dilute their income so I for one don't expect them to be opening new routes at the moment.

Jet2 Contract At Man
Aviance have got the jet2 contract at man, they will be starting it on the 29th of march. Does anybody know if they will be putting anymore winglets on the 757s and also how come GLSAD never got the full paint job.
