Numbers seem somewhat okay (AUG is a peak month may I add), however yields are muck, hence the reason why there's a loss of a SWF rotation.

Granted their method of operation was never going to be a goldmine.

Look, these machines are fitted with pretty awesome defensive systems. They're better protected than any civilian aircraft, perhaps with the exception of some Israeli airframes. They're designed to fly into places where they're not welcome. Some spotters talking excitedly about them doesn't pose a risk.

Indeed, its hardly secret hush hush if they are sitting out on the airfield wer every1 can see them

Jet2 Winter 2018/19

Looks like the full schedule is out for W18/19:

Alicante - 0-2 weekly
Fuerteventura - 1 Weekly
Gran Canaria - 1 Weekly
Lanzarote - 2-3 Weekly
Funchal - 1 Weekly
Tenerife - 2-3 Weekly

All appear to be operated by B738. Looks like its two based.

All appear to be operated by B738. Looks like its two based.

Assuming Only 1 rotation per day, on 2 a/c = 14 rotations (-11 listed) that leaves 3 slots for others. Could they bring some Ski flights in? or a new route perhaps?

[inOban]

During the winter Jet2 use their a/c quite lightly. At EDI the number used each day ranges from 0 on a Wednesday to 4 yesterday.

[Plane.Silly]

But surely with the new planes entering the fleet, they'll need to get some decent use out of them? no point spending mills on new planes to have them sat on the ground.

Back when they only had old 733's, they could afford to leave them, as the costs would have already been paid for, which made sense. Now they need to pay the new 738's off, and the only way you'll do that is extra flying.

[inOban]

Certainly the 738's are used most days, since they operate the flights to the canaries and Madeira. I'm sure other posters know which are new and which s/h.

[owenc]

So, there are 2 Jet2 738's at Belfast? What about Ryanair, is it only 1 now?

[Refuellerman]

2 jet2 733 one 738 and one fr 738

[owenc]

of Ryanair to do that.

[airbourne]

Yeh how dare they do whats in the best interests of their business!

[Refuellerman]

[owenc]

Lol alright..

[Refuellerman]

More chance of getting ba back, lol, now theres a good roumer to start😂

Jet2 Winter 2018/19

Looks like Salzburg is continuing for W18/19 on the B733

So looks like for W18/19 there will be two B738s and one B733 based.

Verona still not bookable.

Maybe see a new ski route or something as all the B733 does is Salzburgon a Saturday!

[GAZMO]

All good news. Maybe Jet2 might resume LBA!

Any word on easyJet new routes?

[Refuellerman]

I think verona is a schools charter, ezy and ei have both had a go at it��
