Hi folks,
Just a question of curiosity more than anything else. I'm regularly out of EDI on a Friday evening and there always seems to be 4 or 5 Jet2's parked up on the remote / freight stands. Do they really have that much slack to have jets lying about or are they there for a specific purpose (just a timing quirk)
Thanks kindly
Kev

The seats are palletized and removed in the evening then refitted the following morning for pax ops. This is the reason the pax schedule is light during the week and they are sitting on the freight stands.

Interesting to hear they will be making that level of investment in the 733's. When you see MON & TCX placing orders for new fleets I had wondered if Jet2 might look at this. Whilst not in the same league as FR or EZY, with the fleet size being around 60 aircraft next year, you would think they have enough clout to do a deal with Boeing or Airbus.
However as much of the current fleet is bought & paid for, perhaps the cheaper option is to upgrade them & keep them going for a couple more years yet!

When you have a leased or new aircraft you have to work them hard but
Jet2 have quiet winters and hard working summers as they can afford to
and spend more time giving the aircraft some TLC over winter

Seems odd fitting winglets to 733s when they have several 752 and 738s without winglets. Maybe the fuel burn advantage is better on these or the kit is cheaper. It is hopefully a sign that they intend to fleet fit them.
The Classics are also much lighter than the NGs, for the '300 versus '800 the empty weight difference is in the region of 10 tonnes! So they're much better suited to short-hop routes than the big heavy NGs.
Edit: actually this APB chart shows fuel savings almost immediately for the '300
