With the release of the Leeds/Bradford Summer 2017 programme it looks like Jet2 might be opening a 2nd Spanish base at Palma de Mallorca next summer 2017 season using Boeing 737-800 aircraft...
So far its due to operate LS228 = PMI 15:20 - LBA 17:05 / LS227 = LBA 17:55 - 21:40 on both Tuesday and Sundays

Hopefully therefore some room for expansion from UK bases without having to commit to another aircraft?
And also, as well as the Titan 757, if anyone has info regarding the Primera 737 and Titan A321 at MAN, I'd greatly appreciate it

A second Spanish base certainly sounds promising. It makes sense, given the two most popular destinations on the network last year were ALC and PMI. Palma is, geographically, right in the heart of the route network - just over 2 hours away from the outer network reach (Canaries/Turkey). Its a fairly strategic location - and could significantly reduce the amount of EU261s as the fleet standardizes. If it were true, that'd be the second UK airline to open a base there next year, as EZY opens its seasonal base in the spring.

Indeed - the difference between Palma vs Alicante is fairly small, and the foreign bases are a great way of combating EU261. The only problem that has arose is where a 738/752 has gone tech down route, and there's only one 733 that'll get there in time, meaning some pax are stuck waiting for another a/c to come in from the UK. As you say, the ALC base has more than proved its worth. I think that as the fleet standardises, and presumably a 738 would be sat in ALC, it would offer much greater flexibility having the two stations in the med.

B733 G-GDFH departed Belfast this morning with EXS3AC but immediately diverted to Leeds instead of Alicante. Didn't squawk an emergency though.

The outbound was heading for Lanzarote, climbed to around FL100 and stopped there. They turned around and held overhead BFS for around 45mins before diverting to LBA at FL150. Landed after another hold around 2hrs 30 mins after leaving BFS. It appears to have been fixed and currently enroute to ACE. Presumably a pressurisation problem that was fixed at LBA?
Meantime the standby aircraft was launched from ALC to pick up an on time departure of the return leg from ACE to BFS.

Not likely to be a pressurisation fault if it flew at FL150 to LBA.

Quick update for you on G-JZHH;
The aircraft, still under previous reg EI-RUF, today flew as EXS51B from Norwich down to Bournemouth, dismissing rumours of her being damaged in the fire. The aircraft taxied to the Airbourne Colours Hangar, to be repainted and re-reged before entering service

Looks like Jet2 are acquiring a wide bodied aircraft for Manchester Ops next summer 2017.
As Manchester-Palma flights on service LS831/832 both Saturday and Sunday are showing an aircarft with a 2-4-2 seating config.
