I would be surprised if the 7 ex TCX A321 were brought from TCX, as l don't think they owned that many, more like from the lease companies.
Have we got confirmation that they are buying and not leasing?
We have not seen anything official from Jet2 as yet.

I very much doubt jet2 will announce the details of its aircraft financial transactions anywhere. Hence the reason why people are asking on a rumour forum.

Speed of boarding - boarding via two sets of steps is quicker than via a single airbridge access at the front - same with disembarkation.
Ryanair use steps for the same reason - except they do it all the time, whatever the weather conditions.
However, airbridges are used whenever the weather is poor or deemed a better option (ie large number of PRM passengers).

That’s not strictly true. They use them far more often now than they ever did. They are usually held for the Emirates, TUI 788 or TCX flights with them being bigger stands. One of them isn’t around anymore. It also doesn’t help that there are only two(9 and 10) that Jet2 can use.

I only stated I have never seen a Jet2 aircraft attached to an airbridge at Stansted. I happen to be there sometimes once a week. You seem to think it’s a regular occurrence. Based on my regular observations at Stansted, I happen to disagree. That is allowed you do realise?
No need to be such a drama queen. This is a professional forum for mostly grown ups.

Using airbridges is just as quick at boarding via steps only, especially as not all the passengers are at the gate when boarding starts. Jet2 uses them all the time at GLA unless they are at a stand that does not have them or are at Gate 30.
2 sets of steps used for pax boarding/disembarking for a 737 800 or a 757 for instance is much quicker than an air-bridge/jetty as long as the ground staff get both the front and rear steps on PDQ...
Also today the ramp ground staff also have to faff about for ages (for H&S reasons gone mad) in setting up an elaborate chain link barrier system and cones to stop pax walking under the wing - this also wastes time on a quick turnaround if the ramp guys don't arrive with the kit or it is not left on the stand (more junk on the apron)
Back in the day the ground staff girl/boy boarding/meeting the flight, (or the No.4 CC would get off first) and would stand at the end of the wing to guide the pax accordingly - it's not rocket science lol
