total chaos today with so many flights yesterday diverting to canaries as FUNCHAL was closed and nearest island was full.
Lisbon took BA but the one question guys please is
#A 737 ( not sure which type) left BCN to go to FNC.
It stayed in the area for ever before diverting to Gran Canaria and landed 7.08 hours after t/o.
Is that a record? I always felt 5 ish was the limit.
Today loads of Aircraft in the wrong spots so much disruption.
regards
Tiger

Another in flight depressurisation
Just picked this up via the wonders of Facebook (a friend of a friend is onboard) - G-CELI from NCL to PRG has diverted to FRA due to a depressurisation. Two in as many weeks for the ageing Jet2 fleet...
EDIT: This is the same aircraft as the one last week.

G-CELI - First registered to Lufthansa in 1986, wow never knew Jet2's aircraft are of this vintage!
http://www.airfleets.net/ficheapp/plane-b737-23526.htm
A 31 year old aircraft operating for a low cost airline, and which will no doubt have a very high daily utilisation at this time of year, are two combinations that don't go well together... Got to give it to Jet2 they really do know how flog dead horse!

Jet 2
Old planes requiring heavy maintenence, which fails qa checks, repeated failures, management failures and poor management.
What on earth are the CAA playing at - revoke the licence before its too late.

Here is G-CELI back in 1989! Certainly looks vintage in that livery. Bought in 2004 they certainly have had their money out of this old bird!

I flew on LSAJ last week, at the grand old age of 29.5 years...but I guarantee 99% of pax would never have known ! It looked good inside and was a perfect flight. I knew it's seen younger days and is heavily used (certainly in summers), but didn't worry one bit about getting on it. Not sure what all the fuss is about TBH. These things are very well looked after.

Whats going on at STN, that seems a phenomenal increase in routes and based aircraft. Who is it up against in terms of competition (or do they know something we dont?) abd do they have the staff to cope?
Interesting.

STN's been under-served for quite a number of years, especially with regards to holiday destinations. The large presence of another airline I think has been long overdue and Jet2 have proven to be a great fit.
With regards to their competition I think it's quite broad... arguably FR, EZY, MT and TOM at STN but also will certainly be attracting passengers from LGW, LTN and SEN to some degree perhaps from various carriers.
I must say though for EZY their backward movement at STN appears to be back-firing slightly. Would not have been nearly as lucrative for Jet2 had EZY not moved so many routes and aircraft away.
