Thank you rubymurray and LiamNCL for the info. Much appreciated.

Looks like HK had some issues on the STN TFS today, turned back shortly after departure. Rumour has it that it was a pressure problem and the masks in the cabin were dropped.

Good service having the spare at TFS too so whilst the outbound was delayed the customers at the other ended hopped on HN without any delay.

Jet 2 & The Princes Trust
 

Well done Jet 2 !

I am delighted to see that the Princes Trust, working in co-operation with Manchester Airport Group are running a "Get into Customer Services" Course for young people aged 19 to 30 who are on benefits and interested in working for Jet 2, are ready for work and able to get to Manchester Airport.
Tester Day : 26th February 2020
Course Dates: 9th to 20th March 2020
Participants will gain:
4 qualifications in Customer Service, Mental Health, Aviation & Employability.
A guaranteed interview with Jet 2 for live vacancies and continuous support afterwards.
Travel Expenses.

What it does not say but probably includes is help in surmounting the hurdles required to get an Airside Pass for Manchester Airport, which can be off-putting for those who are not familiar with the requirements.

Once again, well done to Jet 2 for its community values which were well displayed in the efforts it has already made to help and recruit former Thomas Cook employees.

I have no connection with Jet 2.

Geeky first post... Is there any meaning behind the registration series chosen, or is it a case of what is available.

JZH- looks like Jet2Holidays... HLY (for the "new" 321s - HoLidaY?? and what about DRT... DART Group?

Have I missed anything or barking up the wrong tree?

Deleting duplicate post

You are correct! Thumbs up

Along with CE-- - Channel Express and LS-- - LS is the IATA airline code for Jet2.

I've seen that the A321s carry 218pax...I do hope that the ex-TCX get a makeover and become more comfortable, because when i flew with TCX it was knee-crunching tight.It's odd though because Easyjet's A321s carry 235 pax and are still comfortable

Jet2's A321's will all be 220 seats.

The seats will be the same as currently installed on the rest of the Jet2 fleet. The seats play a big part in the comfort of one's legs and comments are often received about how comfortable the Jet2 seats are compared to competitors.

Some new seasonal routes will start appearing in the system soon,
Making use of the extra Aircraft, Over the winter months.

Still got fingers crossed that Jet2 will be needing B737 flight crew!

Prague and Budapest becoming seasonal from EMA. Unsure as to why or if this is being done at other bases too.

Pabely started this thread with a quoted 2017 statement from Mr. Meeson could any one please supply a link to the 2019 equivalent if it’s been published ? I can not find it on line.
Thanks in anticipation for your time and trouble.
Be lucky

P.S. I’m guessing it was at the AGM or similar?

A simple google of Dart Group News brings this back Directors Statement

Anyone know the reason Jet2's DRTA & JZBE are LGW bound ? Few others too STN-LIS & BHX-HAJ

Yes and..no..Not all of them..The one i checked on my booking out of STN has 218 seats (37 rows minus 4seats)..The ones out of MAN have a different config. and indeed 220 seats (38 rows and row 39 on the right side with two seats)

I'm guessing that the ex TCX (and those belonging to Jet2) have 220 seats and the leased in aircraft have 218, based on the assumption the ex TCX machines are based at MAN and BHX.
