G-JZHA was flying under a Norwegian callsign yesterday. That is probably what was meant.

G-JZHA - Is operating on behalf of DY today due to strike action by Scandanavian based pilots. Aircraft currently operating DY1800 OSL-AGP service.

You can always rely on a 75 even though they are getting on.

Have to love the 737. The -300's with the new winglets look stunning too! But for me, it has to be the -800. Long live the 737 (and the 757, of course, the next best thing!) :ok:

Only trouble is that the 73's seem to go tech a lot more than the 75's, 757 number one for me.

There's obviously something going to at Jet2! The share price this morning has been very volatile.

No surprise there then!!! :D

Not sure about "volatile"......the market must just like what it heard this morning.

Up 18% so far today.....time to cash in those share options me thinks....Cheers "Big Phil"

Great news. Maybe they can afford a few more winglet kits before the fuel price rises start to bite again.:)

If their hedging policy is similar to most other airlines then it will be sometime before they gain from the fall in fuel costs, probably third quarter, unless they take the hit in the current year.

Linda. Thanks for that. Makes the results even more impressive then.

I understand the winglets benefit the 733s more than the 738s due to the latter's already larger wing. I am surprised they are still flying 738s without them though I would have thought they would be an easier mod than the 300s. Also the 757s have been in the fleet a while so unless they intend getting rid of the older birds I would have expected them to have been upgraded during maintenance by now. Anyone any insight on the plans?

Trading Statement 13 March 2015

Dart Group PLC, the Leisure Travel and Distribution & Logistics group, is pleased to give the following update on trading.

The Board believes that Group underlying operating profit(1) for the year ending 31 March 2015 will be ahead of current market expectations and broadly in line with last year (2014: £49.2m), as a result of lower than anticipated winter losses.

Looking ahead to the year ending 31 March 2016, forward bookings in the Leisure Travel business for summer 2015 are encouraging, with over 50% of the season having already been sold, which is ahead of where we were at this stage last year.

The Distribution & Logistics business, Fowler Welch, continues to focus on growing its revenue pipeline and developing existing and new business opportunities.

The Group intends to further develop and grow its businesses and expects further progress in the year ending 31 March 2016.

Sorry if im bit behind the curve but whats happening about the a330 joining the fleet

Has now been called off. Privilege Style 757-200 will now be leased again instead.

Thanks just read it was down to the CAA not happy about them operatiing the 330 due to previous issues

Walterthesofty
 

CAA not happy about who operating the A330?? my understanding was that it was a ACMI lease.


To lease an aircraft please send your detailed request to *********.com Please specify:
1. What is the starting date of lease?
2. What is the route of the flights? Do you have the schedule?
3. Do you have commercial rights for these flights? Do you have the AOC?
4. How many sets of crew do you need?
5. What is the oldest aircraft age you would accept?
6. How many block hours do you guarantee? What is the cycles ratio?
7. What is your per hour budget?

Something to do with jet 2 past maintenance issues by all accounts

Walter...
 

Absolute garbage. Jet2 weren't doing any of the A330 maintenance.

that means nothing when there is an application to operate a new type. So maintenance provision may very much have been under scrutiny

Air Asia........

Historical issues regarding maintenance problems on the 757 737 apparently led to the man from delmonte saying no

I thought jet2 maintenance was top notch, and heavy maintenance outsourced...

I know this is a rumour network, but... :=

No idea how good or bad jet 2 are however the CAA have by all accounts concerns how justified those concerns are is another matter they are after all the campaign against aviation

Walter, you are badly misinformed.

What garbage.

Is this the modern pprune these days. Regular posters have seemingly innocuous posts removed with no explanation. But ransoms can pop up and denigrate whoever they like with made up crap and nothing is done. :ugh:

Not to mention that Walter has 'form' for chucking his inaccurate, misguided, bull***t 2 peneth into the ring!

Agreed, walterthesofty had at least three usernames on here, all trolls. Given he works/ed for MAEL at Luton, he's not best placed to know.

Jet2
 

Are you saying that there have never been engineering issues at Jet2 that have caused the regulator to take action?
No, I thought not.

That is NOT the reason the A330 was cancelled though.

Sure about that masher??

There is absolutely nothing "top notch" about Jet2, it's pound foolish and cheap! The Regulator showing ANY concerns I could very much believe, it's a very exposed operation with a lot of "significant events" and weak leadership...

Sean Dillon
 

I think you are pushing your luck with your last comment unless you can substantiate them with facts, i would respectfully suggest you ready the 'sticky' on the first page.

Heard jet2 are now using Monarch to service their aircraft

MAEL have been doing maintenance for Jet2's Boeing 757-200 fleet for about a year now. Most if not all have had visits to either Luton or Birmingham.

What total rubbish some people post. A330 was to have been operated on wet lease under another operators AOC. Wet lease means flight deck, engineering, etc are the responsibility of the operator who has provided the aircraft.

As to Jet2 maintenance, like ALL other UK operators it is not perfect but good enough to keep old aircraft flying year round.:ok:

Nothing new there then .....

As said previous, it's obvious to those of that don't drink a certain someone's "cool-aid" and sit weekly "Take Me There" courses that in its present form, the future isn't very bright! Regulator watching and no great cash reserves...

The strange folk that think it's so secure....
