Jet2's A321NEOs have CFM Leap engines rather than Pratt and Whitney's so they won't be affected by this. They are being paid a pretty penny in compensation from Airbus and CFM hence why it makes sense to buy some more mld-life 737s as an interim solution. It also will enable them to retire some of the older -800s at some point. Some of the -800s are some of the oldest flying.

What’s happening with G-JZBY? It was initially one due for the summer and it’s still not entered service IFAIK. Given it is ex sunwing it wouldn’t surprise me if tech issues have delayed EIS!

A post on another site claims 9 second hand 737s will arrive this winter, with 8 year old ex sun express TC-SCG the next to join. This is as well as continued Neo deliveries with 3 expected the next few months.
Going the other way G-LSAA will retire this week and G-LSAB at some other point this winter.

Final landing bang on time. Fitting end to 35 year commercial career.
Off to Lasham soon?
A career which started as G-BNSF with Air Europe. Put it like that and it really does say what a workhorse that aircraft has been - with a Yorkshire connection of Intasun in Bradford to Jet2 based in Leeds running from beginning to end !

Just as an anorak question - how do the crew get home? Does Jet2 have a company puddle jumper that follows them down/
Extra eg -G-JZBC currently en route to Bridtol ex Stansted. Does crew stay for the duration or get back to STN somehow.
Just askin'

TC-SCG and TC-SCF have both been delivered tonight to LBA and MAN respectively. Both 8 year old 737s ex SunExpress.
Not been registered to jet2 yet but you would presume they will become G-JZDF and G-JZDG with DD and DE arriving a couple of weeks ago.
5 more 737s (plus presumably the ex sunwing that’s vanished into thin air) and at least 3 more 321s to arrive this winter.
