It's a wiki that anyone can edit. I can't see them opening a base for summer 19 as they've already released some of their winter 2019/20 schedule. Plus, they are already growing at a fair rate at their other bases.


Does anyone have the figures for the Qatar route in September? The figures for the previous month have come out before the end of the following month for the last few months.

Jet2

Can’t see it either. Would be a great addition but as mentioned summer 19 is already announced so can’t see them launching in Q119 for a summer programme. Could be wrong though.

With regards to BRS and CWL (if true) then a dual base could work. Other airlines operate this set up and suppose the cut down on base costs.

Also nothing on the Jet2 website for recruitment so very much doubt they’d announce on pilot jobs network before their own!

Whether it's true or not, what it actually says on PPJN is that the new bases will be announced in Q1/19 not that flights will start (which would also explain why there is nothing on the Jet2 website).

Would they announce a summer 2020 launch in Q1 2019? Maybe to get ahead of other bookings?
I really can't see the logic behind a CWL and BRS base. It would mean extra costs for crew facilities and other overheads. TCX and TUIs bases are historical consolidations of other Airlines/Tour Operators going back many years but id say the biggest consolidation being MYT/TCX and FCA/TOM into just 2 Tour Operator/Airlines. IF it were to happen it would be one or the other. Both serving the same markets. I think the decider would be the deal CWL could give them over BRS and space available, given that we all know BRS is the stronger market.
Personally I'm not holding out for an announcement as it's been talked to death over recent years and the source isn't reliable. IF it happens, it happens.

Well if they do, they'd better not bring any of that dreadful Prosecco they served on our last Jet2 flight. It was awful!

Were you expecting Bollinger on a quasi charter low cost cheap seat?

Oh dear, it was meant as a bit of Fun -" Bringing Prosecco to a 'Party' "?! Oh well.
No, not expecting Bolly but did the Prosecco have to be so 'cheap' - it certainly wasn't pricewise.

8897 pax carried in Sept on this route... seems to have come down again. Anyone know what load factor that would be?

QR seem to be having some low LF's at the moment, A friend flew HCM to DOH and DOH from MAD with them recently and flight was less than half full in Y on both sectors giving them a full row to spread across.

Miles Morgan Travel in Gloucestershire are advertising various tours using Qatar from Cardiff. First time I've noticed that.

Maybe it's to do with the rugby international. I think the aircraft is B757 G-POWH

More likely the WWE wrestling match. There's an event in Madrid and Cardiff tomorrow.

It’s all over the news that the Leicester Football Team will be flying to BKK after their game in Cardiff today for the funeral of their late owner.....

Does anyone know if this is true and if so what airline/aircraft ?
