Yeh come on Ste P enlighten us please.
i don' think people would be too disappointed if Palmair elected to keep the Jet2 B733's instead of the B73G-600 - it's more capacity anyway.
I would have thought the B73G-600 would be the perfect fit for Palmair - Flyglobespan surely would be leasing it cheap if its been 'stored', its the right capacity, it has great range for places like Rhodes, Malta and Tenerife.
Perhaps the worry about Flyglobespan's financial state has put this into question? Jet2 seems far more stable and has knowledge of Bournemouth airport having been based there once.

Palmair will soon be launching an online booking system for flights.
In the local paper they say that they've had a very good start to holiday sales in January selling over 4000 in the first few weeks. Lets hope it continues for them.

A friend of mine who works for a well known airline said that they had been asked to tender for the work so I guess Palm have asked several companies to tend for it aswell as jet2 although I would say they look in a strong position

No I dont think Jet 2 want it after the winter, nor do Globespan according
to stories north of the border.
Will Bath bight the bullet and go to Titan.
Also heard that Jet 2 lost the Lourdes business this summer to Titan,
and now that Ryanair are pulling off Lourdes,it should be a good summer on that route for the charterers.
Interesting times out there for those left in the small aircraft(737) charter market.

I don't think it is a case of Jet2 not wanting it - more a case of not having a spare aircraft to operate it with.
The summer low cost programme sees all their aircraft fully committed from late May to early September leaving little space for charter work during that period.

Has this def been confirmed? Heard they were in the running? But also heard there was a couple other options for the spare E195. Flybe been doing quite a bit of charter work this winter good way to top up income! I believe 2 E195's went to Seville for the football on tues.

Again as far as i am aware , the Palmair Cabin crew are or will be very shortly be up and running on the leased Jet 2 aircraft . It would seem a huge expense to lay them off again and keep training them up on different aircraft that keep operating the services at short notice .
Palmair is very Brand driven with the cabin crew very much at the front of the product a real part of the holiday experience with Palmair ( hence the awards ) so to change aircraft again doesn t make sense .
I have heard from Bath Travel that the Jet 2 aircraft is hear to stay for the summer now and the programme has been sold as 148 seats , out of interest would the Flybe aircraft make Tenerife , Monastir and Corfu with a full load of passengers , fuel , duty free and meals which is what they offer ?

I don't think range on the E195 would be a major issue. Flybe got the LR anyway to give them the extra legs.
IIRC the first E195 made it all the way in from Cape Verde to UK on it's delivery flight and that's significantly further than the Canary's.
Subsequent deliveries have come in Brazil with one stop via Gran Canaria.
