Jet 2 @ TFS
 
GDRTF has been at Tenerife for a couple of days so maybe the aircraft in question?

TUI also base an aircraft at TFS for the winter season but this is utilised everyday on flights.

Yes, someone mentioned this further up the thread.

G-LSAG again?
Flew LS917 MAN-TFS yesterday (11/11) but didn't return.
The resident G-DRTF did its first ex TFS revenue flight and brought LS918 back to MAN just a couple of hours late.
G-LSAG gone AOG again or just ringing the changes with the 737??

Ex MON G-ZBAM and G-ZBAO in hybrid MON/TCX livery. I wonder if they'll now get a total makeover?
Plenty of time - Jethro's says 'acquired. Due Summer 20' along with 5 other A321s

They were due into the paint shop for TCX this winter so imagine they will be in full Jet2 livery by start or service.

The J2 Airbus fleet will only have CFM engines.

It's still AOG in TFS at the moment.
To go AOG once is bad enough, but to go AOG twice in the space of a week, at the SAME destination
Surely the writings on the wall for this one.

Mmmh - shades of G-CELI perhaps except this time the 'rags' haven't found out to make a meal of it.

There's a 737 (-300 I think) on the ground in Toulouse...tech or another issue?

Correct, AG is the first to be retired and will be gone from the fleet within days, as planned for a while, so not related to the 2 unconnected recent AOG incidents.

Good to see them take on charters as well.

At BHX today 11 fairly busy based aircraft operating 15 flights plus they have added a 12th to take Wasps to Bordeaux for their Challenge Cup game.

coming back to MAN tonight hopefully and then it isn’t planned to have any passenger flights until it completes its end of life/de-Jet2 Ified and will then position out on Tuesday morning for the scrap yard. Nothing to do with it’s recent tech issues - this has always been planned.

en route.
"Better to travel hopefully than to arrive" - R.L.Stevenson, meaning the journey is more enjoyable than the destination.
Never more true than in LSAG's case.

Looks like JZHR is also a relief aircraft sat in AYT too.

JZHR & JZHM are at AYT with what I believe is a travel agents outing from Newcastle and Stansted

JZHR took Hays staff from NCL to the companys managers conference in Antalya.

Bet Jet2 will be glad to see the back of that one.

Also, fairly ironic on what looks like your first post and you report on a different aircraft type to your name :P

Nice crisp day for it.
On 23/11 Jet2 would have operated GLSAG for 13 years after acquiring from China Southern.
I always think the 757s look more 'graceful' on Approach than the 737s. Not that it matters.

Flew on LSAG last week down to TFS and I have to say what a tidy, tidy aircraft it looked. The cabin was utterly immaculate. It sounded great and felt great.

Granted I don't know the state of this old bird under the hood, but there was not one hint that it was anywhere near ready for the heap. Very sad. The 738s just don't come close from a PAX point of view.

They’re great aircraft but they’ve had their day, well at least Jet2’s certainly have (albeit well-maintained but very old). The Sky Interior in the new 738s offers a much better passenger experience and many do notice and comment on this. Then there’s obviously the efficiency and reliability issues compared to the younger planes.

If that was LS917 on 11/11 you were indeed fortunate to be on its last revenue earning flight.
I think at 32yrs old even with Jet2s TLC it was time to be retired as planned.

507021 20th Nov 2019 12:03

Has the move gone ahead as planned? I can't see any reference to it on FR24.

As sad as it is, the days of the Boeing 757 as a passenger aircraft are numbered. TUI are withdrawing their ones that are a lot younger that Jet2's.

I've noticed that 2 of Jet2's 757s haven't seen service for a while. G-LSAJ and G-LSAC. Are these both withdrawn? I know AC had a few technical issues over the summer season.

I don’t think they’ve been withdrawn quite yet, perhaps major checks? They’ve both been out of service since the end of September with AC at MAN and AJ at QLA by the looks of things.

Such an aesthetically elegant aircraft.

Boeing 757-200, G-LSAD is next to go in April 2020. This will be followed by Boeing 737-3QC, G-CELY in May 2020
Both Boeing 757-200, G-LSAH & Boeing 737-300, G-GDFB are set to go in June 2020.

Anymore news on the 321s?

Are these long term acquisitions, fully part of the family? Crewed by Jet2 cockpit staff?

If so, is this the start of a build up of used (and maybe new) 321s in the fleet?

Is the list of the initial 7 known yet?
