Jet2 4
There was a second Titan A320 at Manchester this afternoon but it was parked at T2 which suggests it wasn't subbing for Jet2. There was also one of their 757 at T2; a bit odd as I think it was subbing for Vueling, who use T3 (I think).

Jet2 expands winter schedule from Edinburgh Airport - Daily Record
LS have doubled this winter's seat offering from EDI. W16/17 will see them add Fuerteventura and Turin from the capital.
This likely to be the start of many winter frequency increases over the next few years, certainly W17 onwards as the new a/c start entering service

Jet2 738:
Whatever happened to your thread in the Spectators’ Forum? It seems to have been deleted.
W16/17 has seen huge increases across the board at all the JET2 bases and is an obvious push for a better utilisation of aircraft. All this winter flight planning was instigated well before the order for the new B738s from Boeing had taken place, so that it was probably prompted by the fact that JET2 found that it could only match their requirements for B738 aircraft by leasing them. At the moment they have 10 B738s on dry leases. Doubtless, now they have the firm order of the new B738s, JET2 may well start returning the leased B738s to the lessors or negotiating with them a purchase price. It would make sense to resolve the leased B738s' issue before retiring their owned B733 fleet.
Tour Operators and specialist Tour Operators have been producing winter holiday programmes since the 60s, so most destinations and progammes have already been invented and tried. The JET2 winter programmes would need to be constructed gradually but won’t require too much imagination. Even with the restrictions of travel to certain destinations, there is still scope to include other destinations and increase the present winter programmes substantially with the only restriction being the money and value of the money at the disposal of the customers.

Djerba,
I have no idea why the link for said forum no longer appears on the Spectators Balcony, though you can still find it at http://www.pprune.org/spectators-bal...98-jet2-7.html
Indeed, a push for the better utilisation of aircraft has driven the move as you say. My comment regarding the new ones was aimed at the fact that with Jet2 owning the majority of their fleet (of course excluding the 10 738s on lease) they are able to park them up for most of the winter, without significant costs (in leasing). I think this could see Jet2s very seasonal operation begin to diversify, offering more Canarian/B&S roots and ski breaks during the quiet winter months.

Quite right LA. I believe Jet2 thought about setting up at Birmingham but decided Leeds was a better move and what a success it has been too and giving them the cash and momentum to spread across several bases in the UK and now Birmingham. Where next?

See Jet2's owners Dart Group PLc has reported that it more than doubled pre-tax profits to £104.2m in the past 12 months. In the year to 31 March 2016 the company increased pre-tax profits by 159% from £40.2m last year whilst revenues also took off, rising 12% to £1.4bn.

Cardiff has to be high on their list now that they have pushed further south.
The bucket and spade market is huge in Wales, with most opting for BRS or BHX due to the limited availability out of CWL.

That's what i heard ages ago, from a Jet2 employee too ! CWL was the rumoured airport along with BHX, so if there are spare aircraft to go around, count CWL in. As stated above the bucket and spade market is pretty large in Wales and will also be able to bring in passengers from the BRS catchment.
I did also hear NWI but maybe SOU instead ? Remains to be seen. Out of curiosity how many aircraft do LS now have spare for S17 including the new ones from the Boeing order ?

Surely Cardiff is under served in the bucket and spade market, but we shouldn't get carried away.
