If thats true, thats a great addition for Jet2, all four are only 5/6 years old. They'll be sure to get their money's worth out of them

But would also mean that they are getting a new type with 2 engine variants? As the ex MON/TCX ones have v2500s and the rest of the ex TCX fleet are Cfms I believe. Unless the other 3 are not TCX aircraft.

far as I’m aware, it’s going to be:
DD - Shannon
DP - Shannon
DE - Shannon
DK - Shannon
DB - Shannon
DG - Shannon
And I’m unsure of the 7th.

HM Govt has lifted the air travel ban into and out of SSH for UK flights -
SSH was a huge market in its hey day especially in the winter, but the Egypt downturn was pivotal in Monarch's demise.
Jet2 have wisely stayed well clear of Egypt and Tunisia up to now - I wonder what they are thinking?

The ex Mon a/c were not owned by TCX, so are unlikely to be the ones for Jet2.
The CFM A321 in my opinion is not the best version for Jet2 because of the thrust available, which reduces range.
I might however be wide of the mark.

Depends what version A321 ? The Sharklet A321 was often on sectors all the way down to RMF , SID & HRG way beyond where Jet2 currently operate to with the furthest being Canarys and Cyprus.

From my experience working on both, the Cfm is a FAR better engine.

AFAIK the 733s will still be around next summer but I don't know beyond that. You could be right about GDFG - I haven't seen it for a while. It's quite likely that CELE will call it a day this week.
I believe Jet2/Jet2holidays were weeks away from announcing SSH and HRG way back in 2015 just before Metrojet went down. The plans become shelved.
I suspect it will be on the radar within a couple of years defiantly. Year round, profitable year round (Monarch increased SSH every winter), both SSH could be served from all 9 bases, HRG most. I can see once stabilised a Jet2 presence will be good for Egypt.

Yes I agree it is a strong market potential from all over the UK and many SSH holiday regulars will be booking as we speak for their dose of winter sun - Many having 2 such holidays there a year.
However, all we need is one more serious event in the region and it will be ''brakes on'' again.
I'm not so sure if Jet2 will dip their toes in this market despite the huge temptations for a quick £.

Umm - sorry old chap but that region will never ''become stabilised'' in the near term, which is why Jet2 have stayed well clear - Yes the locals want us Brits back in their hotels but........

It's an interesting dilemma for airlines and how they deploy capacity: do they stick to "safe" destinations such as Spain and Greece by plugging the gap left vacant by Thomas Cook knowing they will probably be successful, or do they risk a return to a destination which was popular before the travel ban was imposed but is an unknown whether that demand will return in light of this week's developments?

As you say with the opportunity to fill some or most of the TCX markets I think Jet2 will have their hands full in summer 2020.

Jet2 so close to announcing it back in 2015 i suspect it may come up on the radar relatively soon. Maybe within a couple of years. Maybe not at all. It's a way of utilising the aircraft, especially in Winter, and filling them. The markets no longer have Monarch or Thomas Cook. So Jet2 no longer have as stiff competition as they would have from Monarch and Thomas cook. They've also changed from 2015 - they have BHX and STN as bases. Cover most of the country.
I understand it is one of those - if something happens breaks quickly get applied - but Jet2 are always quick to respond as they did when Turkey declined a couple of years ago. Who knows we will see.

Just don’t forget that Jet2 used to fly to Sharm before, so comments about them not entering this market due to instability are somewhat misplaced.
