Jet 2 currently operate to SXF from LBA, so maybe a possibility of them taking this over where demand has steadily met capacity. Agree re. Sunshine routes exited by TCX |
We need Jet2 to be able to offer year round services as what happens to the aircraft in the winter months Greece routes are summer only although still nice to have at ncl maybe a year round Athens ? |
maybe a year round Athens ? Kos & Keffalonia that TCX have dropped if they wish |
Athens isn`t the market it used to be except for the small islands around the coast of Athens as most of the larger islands now have their own airports
so people don`t need to connect with the ferries |

Athens is becoming increasingly popular as a year round weekend destination. Maybe Jet2 will look into new routes, there are lots to choose from. |
According to Jethro's, the next Jet2 2nd hand B737-800, G-DRTO, is due into Lasham w/c 3rd Dec 18. Ex SunExpress TC-SNY.

Interesting to see EXS300T .G-GDFS (presumably a training flight number) currently doing circuits and bumps using BAE Warton's (WRT) runway.
FR24 says it came OUT of Blackpool having been diverted there enroute to WRT from LBA so BLK can clearly still take 737-800s, light anyway. However, the playback does not show this - just continuous low level curcuits. |
Are you sure it was 29th and not 30th? The base training trip on the 29th was cancelled due to strong winds, I operated the first one at WTN on the 30th, there was a second one that came in as I departed. We came in from Birmingham, the second one from Stansted. |

Has Blackppol still got an ILS?

They used to use Durham when it was 737-300's... is there something that makes it unsuitable for the -800's ?
Or is it purely a commercial choice? Just curiously as there's been Easyjet and Flybe quite a bit recently for circuit training |

I'm assuming you mean WRT (Warton) not WTN (Waddington) and it begs the question why use WRT not BLK? As to why we don’t use Blackpool, it’s not long enough. Teeside is still usable for 300’s, but again, it’s not long enough for our requirements for 800’s. |
Many thanks for the full reply.
Just wondered as I saw a YT vid of the final Jet2 departure from BLK but of course it was a 300. D'oh! interesting non the less - 300s could get away with 1869 mtrs at BLK and 2200+ at Teeside but the 800s need the 2400+ at WRT. |
I suppose this explains why Jet2 never use their own back yard, Leeds Bradford, for training.

But LBA and MME are the same length so if MME is too short for 800 circuit training, its a bit s--t or bust when they have to do it for real. Lol. |
After the first batch of departures in the morning, there's not much going on until the inbounds appear, especially in the winter. I wouldn't have thought finding training slots is that difficult.

U2, LS and BE all fairly regularly use NQY for training cs |

why
Just reading about Circuit training , although now getting busier though mainly Cargo traffic seeing how Ryanair seem to be training at DSA, along with queasy jet , Would it not be a better option.
They handle up to the largest aircraft on the planet . So anything Jet 2 Flies could be handled with ease. Granted they'd end up being put on a stack out of the way whilst Wizzair or whomever comes in , but it would be the logical choice. Whilst it is still relatively ' quiet'. It has all the latest Navaids and unlike LBA or DTV isn't affected by WX very often . ( Or if it's the Runway length issue what about Huy, isn't that near enough LBA length ?). |
Jet2 are frequent visitors to PIK as well, taking advantage of the relative quiet of the airspace.

Donny is one of our options for circuit training. It’s all down to the weather and availability, Donny seems to be Valdermort Airlines choice of circuit training airfield and I have regularly found that Donny is booked up and therefore unavailable for us. Maybe "Atmsosphere Interwotsit" will base their circuit training there too. |

Possibly not. However, Leeds has got the worst runway in the world. Not somewhere you want to be trying your first landing in an 800. |
Excuse my ignorance but that Airline wouldn't by any chance have a Harp on its tail |

Brings a whole new meaning to the Training Captain expression - "this will be a full stop." |

According to Jethro's today, Jet2 have acquired a further 5 second hand B737-800's (G-DRTP, G-DRTR, G-DRTS, G-DRTT & G-DRTV), all ex Primera aircraft, due prior to summer 2019. So 13 second hand and 1 new B737-800 still to join the fleet before summer 2019 now!! |
So where will they expand or will these replace older frames ? cs |
So where will they expand or will these replace older frames ? The last New B738 is due in January. This and the other 2nd hand's will help with expansion, mainly in MAN/BHX/STN i'd guess |
