Jet2 4

[LBIA]

G-CELH returned to LBA this morning due to A crew member becoming sick so they turned back to pick up a replacement crew member rather than carry on and not be able to bring a full load of passengers back from Dubrovnik this afternoon.

[Johnny F@rt Pants]

Crew member probably younger than 26.

[No RYR for me]

CELH is 26 years old. You would expect it to go wrong sometimes.

Boy does somebody look stupid...

[Espada III]

Any ideas

MAN- TLV is delayed for technical reasons. Should have left almost two hours ago.

Anyone any ideas what is wrong?

[VC10man]

>>>Boy does somebody look stupid...

Why? I was stating a simple fact.

If CELH was a car it would be C reg.

I was going to ask how old the sick crew member was, but I have been beaten to it.

[Richard Taylor]

VC10man

If CELH was a car it would be C reg.

Aye, but would the C be at the front or the end of the reg plate?

Whilst I'm here, are Jet2 still considering ABZ? They dropped a hint earlier this year whilst talking about new GLA routes that ABZ could be 'something for the future'. Wherether than means 2013 or 2033 I'm not too sure though!

[Mr A Tis]

Good news for MAN LS pax today. Air Poland B738 already done MAN-IBZ-MAN, now on way to MJV. This bird is only 7 years old, ex FlyGlopespan.
Is this staying around a while or is it covering a specific sickly Jet2 machine?

[DjerbaDevil]

Perhaps you mean an ex-Air Poland B738 and now part of the Air Italy fleet. Best air hostess uniforms ever to be seen with supoerb Italian styling.

757 G-LSAN diverted into Newcastle with a serious fuel leak, whilst on air test over the North Sea from Southend. It was ferried back to Southend yesterday for further checks. It should be in service by now.

[DjerbaDevil]

757 G-LSAN

According to flightradar24 it is presently flying over the North Sea heading towards Newcastle. Looks like another test flight.

[BFS BHD]

G-LSAN

Now up in the air again!

[compton3bravo]

G-LSAN

Looks like on its way back to Southend at 19.30 BST!

[LBIA]

Looks like Jet2 are to lease yet another aircraft. As Avion Express Airbus A319-112, LY-VEU is due to position into LBA this evening from CDG as EXS043R

[mikkie4]

G-LSAN

G-LSAN just landed at SEN

[ematom1]

Jet2 have also leased CS-TEI A310 Hi Fly again to fly out of east midlands airport, past month or 2 every week and weekend theres a different aircaft everyweek Euroatlantic 767-300, Airexplore 757, Hi Fly MD80, CS-TEI A310 Hi Fly a few times now too, surely must be costing alot, also for royalmail the past 2 weeks jet2 have had to lease a atlantic airlines 737, and a titan 737 for the cargo runs due to tech aircraft.

Thanks LBIA. A very helpful reply (unlike others).

[LBIA]

Looks like B757-200WL, G-LSAN is positioning up to Leeds tonight as EXS053D from Southend and should enter service on Sunday. B757-200, G-LSAH is also due to return to Leeds this evening from Tenerife as EXS041A. It will be out of service for a few more days yet after it's decompression incident on Tuesday requires all it's oxygen and masks putting back in.

Meanwhile Boeing 737-300, G-GDFH has had its skin repaired, It was pulled out of the Multiflight hangar this morning and will operate a test-flight tomorrow afternoon as EXS051B.

[Mr Angry from Purley]

As ematom1 suggests hiring a Hi Fly A310 and Euroatlantic 767 over the last 3 weeks or so won't be cheap.

jet 2

i think they were also using a stategic airlines a320 at manchester this afternoon

[LBIA]

Well Jet2's latest Boeing 757-200WL, G-LSAN operated it's first revenue service this morning doing the EXS271 from Leeds to Alicante. The bad news is that it only got halfway and then diverted into Paris-Cdg for some reason.
I wonder if it's anything to do with the fuel leak related problem that caused it to divert in to Newcastle last week while on its air-test?

Meanwhile bmi baby, Boeing 737-500, G-BVKB has been leased this evening and will operate the EXS205/206 Leeds-Amsterdam-Leeds services.
