I notice the first EWR flights are leaving from LBA & NCL today.
Is it only LBA using the B752 and all other departure airports are using the A332? |

I thought it was because they were etops not range restricted as winglets don`t increase range just make
plane more efficient. |

Still don`t think it has altered the range it is allowed to fly

AB, AC, AE, AK and AN comprise the Jet2 ETOPS 757 fleet. All have winglets but I don't know if there are any other significant differences between these aircraft and their other 757s.

As has been said it will be due to etops requirements rather than winglets although suspect all the 757 are maintained to etops standards otherwise parts stockholding becomes a nightmare. The winglets will give a bit more leeway especially going westbound at this time of year. |

excrab probably thanks. Am I right non etops will have to fly much closer to land/airports therefore probably making a much longer journey

What they don't do is increase the allowable still air time/distance from a suitable airport (the ETOPS rule under which the aircraft is operating), which may be what you're thinking of.
Not the same as the 757? |
For non etops flights, the plane needs to fly not further than the distance flown in 60mins at the one engine inop cruising speed in still air, which are: B737-800 Non Winglet = 395nm B737-800 Winglet = 400nm B757-200 = 400nm So having winglets on the 737 does (just!) make a difference whereas on the 757 it doesn’t. |

Please if you don’t mind? Be lucky David |

Just as a point of interest where does the A-321 and A-321WL fit in on that scale, or A-332 ? Please if you don’t mind? Be lucky David |

No idea, they haven’t appeared in our manuals yet but as a guess I’d say they’d be roughly the same as the Boeings at 400nm |
comparing v the 300

According to Jethro's yesterday, Jet2 have acquired a further two 2nd hand B737-800's.
G-DRTY & G-DRTZ (Ex Okay Airways B-5575 & B-5577, but formerly Ryanair EI-DAT & EI-DAX). Both around 16 years old. The fleet continues to expand. |
Any pickle fork issues with Jet2.com? |
