Boeing 737-300, G-GDFH is still to be delivered and is believed to be in Belgrade receving treatment. The recently acquired Boeing 757-200WL, G-LSAN is still down at Southend having some pre-delivery work done.
Meanwhile Boeing 737-300QC departed Leeds-Bradford last week to Budapest and it seems to not have moved since.

Does anyone know if Jet2 are actually BUYING these aircraft outright from their own pocket or are they funding it through loans?
To be able to buy and obviously maintain that whole fleet (which has duly expanded quite quickly in recent years) must mean some money in the company!
I just wonder as surely the cost differences between buying (through loans) as opposed to leasing more fuel efficient aircraft when those bought would probably end their operating lives with LS, can't be that much different?
I maybe wrong!

all their a/c are owned outright and not leased.
All 36 aircraft registered to Dart Group are owned outright.
The 8 aircraft (1xB733, 4xB738 and 3xB757) registered to Jet2 are leased.

Yes a few are 'leased' but from whom you may be asking? A few are leased from leasing companies but some are 'leased' to 'Jet2.com' from 'Dart Group'. Who owns 'Jet2.com' you may also be asking? 'Dart Group' is the answer. Its not as simple as Jet2 forking out a few mil for each aircraft. On paper assets are quite small for 'Jet2.com' but other parts of the business have considerable assets for a holding company.

G-LSAL and G-LSAM are two B752s leased from Air Allegiant, which will be going back to Air Allegiant at the end of the summer 2012.
The question is whether these will be replaced by B752s or B738s.

Jet2 and most other airlines are having serious problems up at LBA with weather issues this afternoon. Reports of up to 42knot cross-wind. Also wind-sheer been reported by several aircraft on finals to runway 32.
The Boeing 737-300 aircraft are having to take-off with lighter than required fuel loads hence both the LS227 service to Palma and the LS197 to Ibiza have had to call into EMA for a splash and dash.

Flew in from Fuerteventura this afternoon and the landing was the worst I have ever experienced in 35 years flying into Leeds. So glad the flight was not diverted due to the weather.

Why have they purchased on odd-one-out aircraft so to speak as it will be the only 733 with winglets will it not? Unless they are testing out the economic viability of adding winglets to their existing 733 fleet of aircraft?

Do jet2 have no plans for any expansion at Belfast? They just seem to add a route and drop a route each year
Also on a different note, since they have 757s would they never try Sanford?
