no not from HiFly this year at least anyway - apparently was suppose to be an A330-900neo from HiFly with 418 seats however due to late deliveries from airbus it isn’t available as early as Jet2 would like. Maybe 2020 - who knows.

How far in advance are J2 jets assigned their respective itinerary? I'm flying NCL to ACE on Jan 20 & would like to find out what 737 I'll be relaxing on.

I'd flown the older 737 (300's) loads with J2 so a newer jet is a bit of a relief.
hole you enjoy your flight regardless of which aeroplane you are travelling on.

Jet2 are to take delivery of their 100th aircraft tomorrow.
https://www.ttgmedia.com/news/news/j...aircraft-16724
Report indicates no immediate plans for new routes in Summer 2020 (they say 2019 in the report, but is a typo) and focus on growth at existing bases
The new A/c G-JZBS is due in the UK tomorrow. Anyone know if it's LBA or MAN bound?

That should put that 'rumour' to bed. For now? Lol.
I wonder if EMA is going to see increased activity?
From my location its the same journey time, car parking is WAY cheaper than BHX, and, as I'm not looking for a Retail Experience, I can live with the facilities at EMA.

Jet2 chief executive says air carrier will consider switching to the Belfast-made A220 for next order...

I suspect this is the Belfast press making a mountain out of a molehill. I’d be very surprised to see A220’s, they aren’t big enough. I’m sure that he would have been playing his cards very close to his chest and would have replied to a question about A220’s with a generic response saying words to the effect of, “all options will be considered” blah blah blah.

If they wanted to find a direct size replacement, they'd have picked up some B737-700's, and flown then for 10-15 years.
I could realistically see them taking some 2nd hand B788's, since they already lease A332's in, they're used to the larger aircraft. Would also provide as a replacement to the B752's that'll be due by the mid 2020's

That was my impression too. There was a faint rumour a few years ago before they placed the NG order that they had a quote for E195's as they were linked directly with the 300 replacement, however the B738NG was chosen because it allowed the extra seats which Jet2 needed to grow.

Why would you want a first-hand B788, for this type of flying, let alone a second-hand B788?
Still trying to work out how TUI make money using a B788 on Manchester to Palma - there is more efficient ways of doing it.

How long are the 757's due to be around for? That will be a cut in capacity and also restricts the US flights.
