It's a definite balancing act. Send the spare aircraft to recover one set of pax, or use the spare to recover the aog's next rotation I.e save 2 sets of eu261 payments.
Jet2 are far better at most at recovery there's no doubt but yes its primarily for cost saving but with the secondary effect of keeping the punters happy. They also have a large number of older fully owned aircraft that they can afford to have sat around on standby. It will be interesting to see if they have the same approach when they have a larger percentage of newer more expensive aircraft.

The 321’s have been very successful and useful over the past few years.
Don’t be surprised if you see a few more A330s over summer 2020.
Also talks / enquires still on going to see if longhaul leisure is a pie worth baking.

All depends on the MAX issues and what comes of that Airframe.

Nothing confirmed, To be honest, The need is there for TFS, ACE and PMI and a few Greek Destinations but Manchester is. Priority as you can imagine, Stansted is performing far better than expected but in the short term priorities have obviously got to be on Manchester but don’t rule anything out, things will be much clearer end of October/ November.

they could only ever attempt to do legs in reverse from ALC or PMI as these are the only two aircraft/crew bases outside the UK.

Three Jet 2 diverted aircraft set off from Athens at the same time to get to CFU, one landed (Edinburgh) whereas Manchester (LS951) and Stanstead (LS1489) held not even attempting to approach the island and returned to Athens.

Been watching this with interest, seems 2x A/C still stuck at Athens, the flight status for LS1489 which should have landed at CFU last night, now won't land in CFU until tonight at 2022hrs, not sure why they are leaving it so late to get it back to CFU? The AC and passengers are in Athens together.

Strange as several other flights seemed to land successfully last night.

Jet2 could expand as much as they care to from now providing they are willing to take on a new type (airbus) as i cant see them gaining many 2nd hand 738s right now. They could aswell go down the road of bringing in Smartlynx who they already work with and Avion but it all comes down to how much they are willing to pick up.

Wonder if CELE and CELY will get a reprieve as well as the older 757s?
Jet2 do have quite a bit of arms length A321 experience via Smartlynx and I'm sure the ex-TCX aircraft will be easily available to lease AND lots of available Crew.

Anyone know if there is any truth in the rumour that Jet2 are adding the Greek Island of Skiathos to their destinations next summer ?
In conversation at the weekend with a hotelier buddy on Skiathos tells me one of his fellow hoteliers is telling people he's signed a contract with Jet 2 holidays for 2020
There is definitely a gap in the market to fill following TC's collapse, they sold lots of package holiday's and flight only to Skiathos.

Its an 'interesting' landing so I'll bet Jet2 will think, or have thought long and hard about it.
