Where next for Jet2?

I would hazard a guess at Madrid and Exeter.......

GOLF-INDIA BRAVO 9th Dec 2004 11:01

Mas operated B777 for about 9 or 10 months from April 1999 to at least early spring 2000

MH started off with a 2 weekly 777 service to KUL via MUC. It then went to 3 weekly, then nonstop - still on 777.
It then got upgraded to a 3 weekly 747-400 before reaching it's current 4 weekly 744 status

Following the link on page 10 (or around there) in this thread, i saw on the slot co-ordinators webpage that MAS had slots for a 5th and 6th daily service for summer 2003. Obviously didnt take them up!

GOLF-INDIA BRAVO 9th Dec 2004 12:25

Probably because Sars was just coming, getting bad

Jet 2 Where next ????

TO quote me from earlier this month........

had a dream last night that Jet2 announed a Man-CDG......I wonder......

If Jet 2 ever announced EDI and GLA that would make Manchester there most served airport.

Imagin that......

So i would guess at Glasgow Next...possibly followed by Madrid


:ok:

Tewkesbury

With as much respect as I can muster.

Stop talking crap and get your facts right. I fly the thing and it's a mainline aircraft.

Dream on. BACX do not operate to JFK. They operate to Europe and the UK.

Manchester to Bahrain
 
Look out for a new service from Manchester to Bahrain next Spring.

maxell 9th Dec 2004 21:24

normal_nigel

The aircraft is leased from mainline with flight crew the route is citi express and has been for near three years now, so yes bacx do have a new york service.
Check next time you crew it

eggc 9th Dec 2004 21:28

Bahrain...

Interesting, i note on the BHX thread that GF tickets are not bookable on reservation systems ?!? ( although i havnt checked myself ! )

sisyphus1965 9th Dec 2004 21:53

GulfAir are not planning to fly from BHX, GulfTraveller are to Abu Dhabi.

gayrugbybloke 10th Dec 2004 09:25

Maybe Gulf Traveller have thought better of starting from BHX and have decided to move further up the M6...?

It's very odd that you cant yet buy tickts for their BHX service, considering it starts with the new season's flights........hmmmmmmm........


Manchester is rapidly becoming a nice little niche market for the Mid East carriers!

eggc 10th Dec 2004 11:18

Is it normal for a carrier to announce a service and then have a delay before tickets can be bought ???

I thought announcements and ticket sale commencement went hand in hand.

EZY Update
 
The word from Easy Land is that they have not managed to secure the slots for 5 a/c .The rumoured plan now is to base only one a/c and to supplement the operation with a small number of W's .

At least it's a start and I wish them all the best.

GF Traveller have delayed the start of their BHX service to Winter 05 they have NOT decided to move it to MAN.

PS - BHX' list of slot applications is almost as good as MAN's !
