Hi Pete
I can`t remember where I read it but I am sure I saw that it was due to be in hangar for 13 weeks so obviously something
major was due to be done and I guess when that is finished it will be painted

G-JZBO has been out of action a few days aswell it positioned NCL-SNN a few days ago.

GDRTI has always been planned for this length of maintenance. There are a lot more records to build due to were the aircraft has come from (non EASA) and if it come with a full “service history” just like a car. It is also having a major c check while in the hangar. It is currently planned to come out around 5th sept and go for painting.

Cheers both - If it was never planned for high summer they have coped remarkably well even with the problems encountered this week, as everything at the BHX base seems to be back on track. Not sure if all the Antalya pax got back to BHX as a 738 landed yesterday evening and BHX arrivals indicated a second aircraft 05.00 this morning. They did put two aircraft on the Rome to get all the A321 home which I have to say is going that extra mile to get your pax back.

Indications thus far although the 11th based aircraft at BHX was high-season only it seems it might stay and some flights re-timed to give a more relaxed schedule utilising the 11th aircraft.

Very impressive airline I have to say when it comes to schedule recovery.

Probably with creosote. Thats what I did last time I bought a shed.

[chaps1954]

When it comes out it will be as good as new Sixchannel and you won`t be able to tell the difference between that and a brand new machine

I know dat. I was trying to be a bit humorous on a slow Saturday.
Our last flight EMA-FUE (can't find my notes at the moment) was on a recently refurbed Jet2 acquisition. It looked brand new and performed perfectly as expected.

✊✊💦 theres always one isnt there......

[Chesty Morgan]

Yes, there is.

[jonnyrobbo]

I see leased Titan aircraft G-POWN has been out of action for some while, does anyone know whats up with her?

[L1649]

She is currently awaiting a replacement engine due to birdstrike damage.

[Mr A Tis]

Would appear a Jet2 diverted to Porto today with unwell pilot. Reported unable to clear runway, so presumably the Captain.
hopefully a speedy recovery & best wishes from Ppruners.

Replacement crew and aeroplane already in OPO to get the passengers to Madeira ASAP.

Well done to all concerned.

[Gurnard]

Replacement a/c was G-LSAJ but LS765D continued in G-LSAC. Any ideas why G-LSAJ was not used?

[Flightrider]

Between enquiries like this and the TUI thread in latter days (with the focus on why one 737 hasn’t flown for a few days), this board is showing an increasingly firm grasp on the non-essentials. Someone has had an incap or near incap event today which may well result in the individual concerned being unable to fly for a period of time. And here we are querying why one aircraft flew and another didn’t. It’s unreal. Can we banish this to Spectators Balcony?

PS - I hope the individual concerned is ok.
PPS - well done to Jet2 on speedy recovery of a situation in which no airline would ever wish to find itself.

Bags already on the aircraft. Why spend additional time cross decking bags when it's just the crew who need to swap across?

No offence intended whatever. The previous two comments expressed my personal thoughts, so I did not wish to be repetitive. For clarity, however, may I endorse your PS and PPS?
Yes, first and foremost we wish the captain a speedy recovery.
Secondly, Jet2 have excelled again in reacting quickly.
