I read elsewhere that Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Liverpool and London Southend were all looking to become Jet2's ninth UK base and that the opening of an Alicante base may be a bit of a set back for them. However I suspect that those airports would be most likely involved with Jet2 as destinations for Alicante aircraft.

I never mentioned a link between ALC and SE England did I?
My question reads quite simple and asks if there could be a possibility of Jet2 using the ALC base to open routes to SE England i.e: LGW/LTN/STN/NWI/SEN seeing as it's currently a market in which they do not operate.
There. Does that make sense?

Will be interesting to see what this new ALC base is all about, cant be long before a press release surely?

You could probably add a few more airports to that list, but in reality how many were Jet2.com considering? LPL? BHX?
Will still be interested to see their motivation for opening a base at ALC as I think what has been posted elsewhere is more plausible at the moment.

I wonder why Jet2 want standby crew and aircraft down in the Med?
Between 250 and 600 euros, multiplied by 230 delayed 757 pax, per flight...
This ruling could bankrupt an otherwise profitable airline within a single summer season.

ALC
Perhaps thats another reason why - to have an aircraft not totally utilised in that part of the world allows them to operate 'rescue' flights without huge delays ?? Send an ALC (can also cover MJV, AGP, VLC, PMI etc ) based a/c to UK with pax and keep next UK rotation on time ? Thus only delaying one set of pax not two ? Just a thought.......builds more flexibility into the programme.

TOM100 and artiefufkin, exactly. That is what I've seen posted up elsewhere and it seems most plausible.
Afterall, if this was to be some deft strategic move then surely they wouldn't have made this public knowledge yet?

As well as the four 737-800 due before summer 2013 Jet2 are to aquire another three 737-300's. The leased A320 based at East Midlands will be leased from Hamburg Airways.
