Guys, isn't it time Jet2 upgrade all of their aircraft?
The aircraft with the decompression the other day from IBZ-LBA, a 734, was 30.9 years old!
Jet2 have had quite a few incidents lately. If they keep this up, the Swiss cheese will eventually align! Time for an upgrade me thinks.

The oldest of the B737-300 are just under 31 years old, however some of the B757s are only a year younger.
You need to realise that some of the worlds B737-300 are in fact younger than some of the B737-800 Jet2 operate.
Providing the aircraft are maintained correctly as Jet2 do so, airframe age is irrelevant, the issue is more down to components that fail more with age, which is most likely what happened on the incident recently.

At least 14 new 738 due by spring next year, I know there are more aircraft due for BHX,
MAN and probably others which will be 738 but would expect 8 to probably go
G-CELA has just been retired with probably the other G-CEL* range going next as there
is quite a gap to the G-GDF* in general ( not all) of about 6 to 8 years with the oldest
738 delivered late 98

This winters new aircraft deliveries should see another 15 aircraft before the start of the summer season, the registrations will begin GJZB? The first one GJZBA is to be delivered at the beginning of October, current estimates are the 13th with GJZBB at the end of Oct. the 4 additional aircraft ordered on top of the initial order of 30 are to be delivered from Aug 2018 to January 2019.

Maybe they have got the entire G-JZxx range giving 625 registrations including the existing G-JZHx range. They can't use G-JZAx, G-JZFx, G-JZLx or G-JZTx because they need to keep the last two letters unique (as the a/c are commonly referred to that way) and they clash with the existing registration ranges (G-LSAx, G-GDFx, G-CELx and G-DRTx).

Was looking at the CAAs G-INFO and noticed of the 16 new a/c currently received from Boeing, 6 are registered as owned by Dart Group PLC (HJ/L/N/O/R/S), 3 as owned by Dart Leasing and Finance LTD (HM/T/U), and the other 7 are registered as chartered by Jet2.com (HK/P/V/W/X/Y/Z)
Not Jessica Fletcher by any means, just wondering what the difference in ownership meant - or whether its just a case of balancing the books?

Owned by Dart Leasing & Finance = off the balance sheet (probably)
Chartered = owned by a third party and definitely off the balance sheet.
