Well jet2 have today comfirmed on its website news section that they are adding 4 additional aircaft to the fleet this winter for next summer 2011 season.
I take it that this will that be a mix of Boeing 737's and Boeing 757-200's that will be required?

EDI should be 4 aircraft, assuming the weekend timings get altered to fit DBV in - would be surprised to see a 5th aircraft being at EDI for just one flight, but you never know
In summer 2010 EDI was also 4 aircraft at the weekends. Summer 2011 growth at EDI should come through more weekday flights and better utilisation

From the BBC
Philip Meeson, chief executive of Jet2.com and its parent company, Dart Group, commented: "We are delighted that we have had such a successful summer at Edinburgh, and are excited about our plans for 2011 - more frequent flights, a new aircraft and more destination choices."

Hi
Looking at the Jet2 scheduled for next summer at LBA, The Base only needs 10 aircraft which will be 3 X 757-200's & 7 X 737-300's due to cut backs on some of the services plus the evening Belfast Int'l service will be operated by a Irish based aircarft as well instead.
So that releases the missing 1 x Boeing 737-300 thats required for the EDI..

The extra aircraft basing for next summer should be as follows;
Glasgow -
1 x 757-200 (New to the fleet)
1 x 737-300 (Moved from LBA, no reduction in flights from LBA, just more on W routes from Belfast & Edinburgh
East Midlands -
1 x 757-200 (New to the fleet) -
Newcastle -
1 x 737-300 (New to the fleet)
Manchester -
1 x 737-300 (New to the fleet)
Edinburgh will not gain an extra aircraft, the base acquired G-CELP part the way through last summer due to the STN-JER post contract coming to an end. LP was used in peak summer but will be further utilised next summer, so it's not an actual new based aircraft, just existing ones used more.
Generally fleet utilisation is higher next summer, especially at LBA as there was typically two aircraft last summer that only did 2 sectors each, and were used as standby aircraft. They were not used that much though so for this coming summer, one will be stationed at GLA and utilisation increased.
LBA-BFS (evening) and LBA-PRG next summer will be W patterns from BFS and EDI respectively. As a side note, Glasgow and Edinburgh are to be operated as dual bases, so there may be some shuffling around during the summer months to accommodate the flying program.

Thanks for that information. Good to see some healthy expansion throughout the network next year, except for Blackpool that is. I hope aircraft reliability does not become an issue through higher utilisation. Good luck.
