Thanks for the updates. Prices certainly seem firm out of Leeds again.

Many posts back there were harsh words about LBA and I agree.
However the new CEO is known to PM and I have highlighted to PM many times the appalling deal customers get on the ground.
Leeds is almost 3rd world and spending an hour waiting at passports coming in is not on. Meanwhile " we apologise for the delay " playing over the system.
Come on Leeds get it sorted.

can someone confirm fleet size now 80 ?

Have a look at this from Jethro
Jet2 Fleet List

According to Airfleets, Jet2 have 77 aircraft registered active as of today:

According to Planespotters, Jet2 have 74 aircraft registered active as of today, which tally with the Jethro’s fleet numbers:

It is worth noting, however, that JET2 will be taking delivery of 12 new B738s from now until January 2019.

I believe the plan is to end up with about 85 for S18 peak time, not sure as to how many of the B733's will be retired because of it though, or if any extra leases are needed

Jethros reporting that Jet2 are to aquire at least 2 ex Transaero B737-800's (EI-RUN & EI-RUO).

EI-RUN is currently at Lasham, having flown into East Midlands on 20th December 2017, then onwards to Lasham on 22nd December 2017.

Lots of changes coming to the terminal interior at LBA to make things better... Work already started. Had a long chat with the CEO and Ops Director late last year and I believe they are starting to move things in the right direction again.

flight radar showing fleet of 80 as of today

45 in the air now

2 x A330 for summer lease

A few more 2nd hand 738's?

Two ex Transaero parked at Lasham this evening, both destined I am told for Jet2?

Correct. EI-RUO arrived on 15th from Teruel.

No doubt they will be bound for LBA seeing as they arn`t new :(

Indeed, why waste the new SFP aircraft on LBA. It's not like it's short, often wet, high up... oh. I'll get my coat.

There were rumours on the MAN pages that for S18, Jet2 would be splitting operations between T1 & T2. Anyone any idea if that is the case ? If so- would check in also be split?

Jet2 Additions from EMA for the summer holidays (end Jul-Beginning Sep)

EMAIBZ - extra Friday and Sunday, now 8pw
EMAHER- extra Monday, now 3pw
EMADLM - extra Saturday, now 3pw
EMAAYT - extra sunday, now 2pw
EMABJV - NEW ROUTE, on Saturdays

Obviously seeing good volumes for Turkey. Wonder if any other bases are getting more?

Afraid so Tfs, Pmi, Agp, and Ace all allocated to T2 this summer handling agents already training up staff, gojng to be a nightmare, pax have enough problems getting the right Terminal on a good day. Easyjet also basing 4 a/c at least in T2.

Jethro's showing two leased A330 from AirTanker summer 18 (in Jet2 fleet list), has this been confirmed now?

Are they both being based at Manchester?

Is the STN sub the Titan A321 by any chance? There is a 2nd A330 showing in chroma for MAN?
