Ref the 330's of Tcook. I'd heard j2 have looked at them. Talk of £2.5m each, and spares/tooling aquired from the liquidators? But nothing concrete beyind rumours right now.
At the rught price they could fit in well with j2's operation..

Two of the TC A330s are worldwide fleet leaders on hours flown and were mid way through the Airbus life extension programme in which they were the first aircraft to be enrolled. Although they have plenty of life left yet, it would be a brave new operator getting into the A330 for the first time to take these particular aircraft on, unless you knew exactly what you were doing and had the engineering specialist expertise to do it. That’s not to say Jet2 couldn’t or don’t, but it is sensible not to rush into such things.

I've heard the ex-TCX A330s at EGCC are destined to be parted out as there hasn't been sufficient interest in them. Likewise for another aircraft that was mid-way through major checks when TCX went pop - supposedly too expensive to get the checks re-done

I have some queries regarding airport and onboard elements of Jet2 service ahead of our first LS flights coming up soon. Is here a good place to ask, or is there a better forum? I am a member on flyer talk, but there doesn't seem to be an active Jet2 space there.

But the Dart Group moved the HQ to Leeds.
I have always been surprised they have not opened a Bournemouth base, but they are the darlings of the Midlands, the North and Scotland, with Stansted new for them last year and doing very well it seems.
They have a good reputation for flights and holidays, very family and service focused.
If you have on board product and service questions then why not post on the SLF thread on Misc forums here on Pprune....

Even so, i wouldn't expect to see any new base this year. It's been well documented that Jet2 want to focus on their key bases of MAN, BHX and STN, especially with all the extra slots they bought from the TCX collapse
