Jet2 - 3

[david1994]

I wonder if someone could answer me a question, at stations where JET2 are based and have a ticket/customer service desk, do they employ their own staff directly or does a Ground Handler / Representation Company look after their desks??

In their Belfast base [BFS] they do have a JET2.COM ticket desk and there ground handler is SERVISAIR and they do check-in etc and ticket desk no Jet2 staff are directly employed in BFS

Hi David1994, thanks for that, excuse my ignorance but is BFS a base for JET2? and if so I presume they have a Station Manager at least, or no?

[david1994]

Yea it is in-deed a base for them , their Station Manager is Servisair , they have 3X B733's based after last year and the downturn we lost the B752

[righthandrule]

As far as i'm aware, the stations with Jet2.com staff are as follows;

LBA - Ticket Desk, Check-in staff and Ramp
MAN - Ticket Desk only - check-in by Aviance
NCL - Ticket Desk only - check in by Swissport(?)
AGP - Ticket Desk, Check-in staff and Ramp
PMI - Ticket Desk, Check-in staff and Ramp
MJV - Ticket Desk, Check-in staff and Ramp
TFS - Ticket Desk and Check-in staff

All other stations are handled by agents.

Thought that BLK as a base and Jet2 as one of the main feeders for the airport, had self handling there as well

[IB4138]

The handling agents at BLK are Blackpool Airport themselves.

In TFS only salesdesk staff are Jet2 same as ACE and ALC.

BFS also has Jet2 staff the same as NCL. As far as I am aware all uk salesdesks and station managers are Jet2.

BLK doesn't have Jet2 sales desk personnel but obviously has a station manager.

As far as I can make out all Jet2 have in Belgrade is B737's. I am willing to be corrected

Just looked around the tinterweb and it looks like a B757 is possibly there as well. perhaps that is where the rumour comes from. I will keep looking as I don't trust the on line encyclopedia that anyone can edit.

Hi plasticAF, I have been told what I have been told, so its our choice to believe it or not really. With info that has been passed to me before from my mate, I'd definatly consider this the truth!

Where did you find the info on 737s and 757s in Belgrade?
I tried googling belgrade airport and I couldnt find anything to suggest what facilities it has, so I presume it must have a painting/engineering hangar?

[Mooncrest]

Jet2 in Belgrade. The company simply sends some of the 737 fleet there for heavy maintenance during winter downtime. I'm not aware of the 757s going there. The company does not operate any flights to or from Belgrade, other than positioning to or from for said maintenance.

Info from Wikipedia about B757-200 type aircraft. I typed in JAT Technica and hunted around. Still digging though

Any reason for the AMS-DSA and BFS-DSA flights this morning?

[SWBKCB]

LBA Diversions?

[MUFC_fan]

Just checked - they are diversions. How come LBA was closed (now open)?

Air Southwest flight from Newquay/Bristol diverted to MAN - I wonder why the two LS flights didn't do the same? Must be head office if BOTH flights head to DSA. Funny when you consider MAN being LS's 2nd largest base...

[airhumberside]

Jet 2 have an agreement with DSA for diversions

[Leodis]

LBA has a new glidepath so no CAT III available until November.

[Vuelo]

I heard a rumour LS are gping to expand at MAN into more city markets. Is this true? Have heard MAD, LIS, SZG, WAW and BBU are in the pipeline.
