Jet2 TFS
 

Does anyone know if Jet2 will be basing a 757 in Tenerife over the winter months or will it be a 737?

I know they are planning to do the Tenerife-Ncl and Tenerife-BFS but is that all?

How about the TFS-BLK and the TFS-LBA flights.

LBA-TFS will be done by an LBA based aircraft according to the current timings. The other three routes are all by the TFS based aircraft, which now has 6 days out of 7 scheduled.

Are they planning on having one day of downtime, or maybe a 1x weekly TFS-EDI? I think it's the Wednesday that is still free of any flying.

I don't think LS will be basing one of their own machines in TFS, I would suspect that it will probably be sub-chartered to the likes of Futura or similar.

It's going to be a Jet2 B757 doing all TFS routes.

1 x B757 to be based in TFS to do BLK/BFS/NCL routes.

i dont think it will be jet2 operating these routes either, where they gonna get a crew from ? it must be a spanish operator on jet2's behalve .

didn't you know guys?

The Blackpool-based 757 crews will be rostered one week a month to operate out of TFS. I've told you already, Blackpool will be the best Jet2 base and have the best looking crews.

That was the whole idea of getting the 757s, so they can fly to the Canary Islands. It defeats the object of being a low cost airline to then get someone else to do your flying.

Guess if its a based ac though, it means they will need just one extra ac, rather than 3 extra to base in BLK, NCL and BFS. Who knows what the plans are. Maybe if it was a sub, it would be a way of testing the water with minimal risk.

They won't need to test the water in BFS. This route will be a winner for them. Fair play to them for finding new markets. I heard Ryanair were looking at Tenerife as their 800's could do it but there is no mission of Easy or Baby jumping on that bandwagon.

TFS can be done with the -300. No problem out of MAN, BFS or NCL

And LBA with a 300 also ! Sundays visit to TFS is done by the 733 on a regular basis.

:confused: Not entirly true. At ncl we get a FUA 734 to op TFS and that very rarly makes it in one go. usually tech stops in santiago. Might be possible with a low load but with a decent load it would be difficult especially with unfavourable winds. Could possibly manage it from MAN or LBA with a 733:D.

I flew from Manchester non stop on a B737 200 when BAL used to use them

IIRC, the 733 has a longer range than the 734?

I know its possible to fly -300's to TFS..I've seem European -200's there :hmm: but Easy's have their MTOW limited and the engines are derated so much that apparently they struggle into Europe from BFS. I hear Baby's are similar ?

Hello matey,

I heard that's why they've agreed to base you there, to balance things out a bit:} :} :}

oh you scurilous swine

I know where you live x

Bush baby, it's been done for years and with very very few tech stops. You buy the right tool for the job. No ife though.
