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.

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. Richard |
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. |

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

: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
G-I-B |
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 ?

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.
|
What is the scope for the likes of Easy/Ryanair to get to the Canaries overnight, using marginal time presently spent on the ground ? There's a perceived belief that LCCs should not attempt sectors this long (which I've never quite subscribed to) but if you use aircraft time presently spent parked overnight it will surely change things. And the downmarket end of the Canaries market is used to overnight flights on charters.
|
Whats the difference between Monarch Scheduled and easyjet/ryanair for this idea - monarch have been operating the routes for years. Could we see loco's fly into TFN? Shorly we could see a Liverpool/Stansted/Bristol/Norwich/Dublin to TFN?? Departure time of 2100/0130 , 0200/0630 (would be back for the morning operations). Go did this a few years ago - didnt really work, but it was winter schedules.

737s to tenerife
Daniel Reilly (the teenager who is setting up nexus airways) is planning to operate 737s to the canaries from liverpool. If they are unreliable on this length of route then why would he choose 737s?

who said anything about 'unreliable'? There are many variants of 737..some even hop the atlantic (bbj). Fact remains though that 20k engines and an MTOW below 64T ain't gonna be much use goint to the canaries. Its just a paperwork excercise to change this..but an expensive one that many lowco's aren't really interested in.

Many of our 737-300's are B2 powered aircraft which are 22k already.
