The 7 x A321’s will be under the Jet2.com AOC which means their are either owned or leased. They will be fully crewed by Jet2 pilots, cabin crew and engineers.

The initial 7 are ex TCX aircraft - the are definitely not the ex monarch cook ones as they are different engines and there is only 4 of them. This would not be economical sense to operate two different engines on 7 aircraft.

Thanks.

So, anything that suggests that A321s will be secured as much as 738s on the second hand market?

Seems like a good move! Looking forward to seeing the 321 in LS colours!

I understood that the LS A-321s were to be compatible engine wise? The TCX fleet were mixed I believe.

yes this is true - this is why they will not be getting the ex monarch ones as they have different engines than the rest and there is only 4 of them.

There’s conflicting information on this – I guess we’ll see what happens.

How many of these A321's have sharklets?

There is no conflicting information regarding the A321’s. All airframes will be CFM powered. End of!

I think they are referring to the fact jethros (not always reliable) has it down as the first 2 are the ex Mon/tcx aircraft which are IAE powered. So yes there is some conflicting information.

Not on sale until next week so I guess we won't know until then.

LBIA 26th Nov 2019 15:44

New routes on sale now

Glasgow - Almeria = 1x weekly.
Manchester - Mykonos = 2x weekly
London Stansted - Mykonos = 2x weekly

Lisbon to be announced next week.

Surely Jet2 are the biggest supplier of seats and packages to Greece for S20?

Only destination that needs adding to their Greek network now is Santorini.

KITES next summer and 14/18% overall capacity increase.

More will come its just getting frames with the Max still out of play.

Flew the 737/800 ng yesterday for the first time and I was surprised just how much more "nose heavy" it felt. So different.

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?

Yes, LBA is the only airport that can't handle the A330, so they have to stick with the B752
Of the 10 B752 left in the fleet, only 5 can make the distance (winglet).

All other airports can handle the A330,

chaps1954 28th Nov 2019 09:01

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

which in turn increases range. Not by much maybe 2-300 miles.

chaps1954 28th Nov 2019 09:48

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

Mooncrest 28th Nov 2019 10:10

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.

stricter maintenance regime, different equipment required on board amongst other things,

Allowed to fly? They dont have a set max range. If the aircraft consumes less fuel over a set distance then it has more range.

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 28th Nov 2019 11:25

The winglets make the aircraft more efficient, which reduces the fuel flow per hour at the same airspeed and therefore increases its range. 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.

chaps1954 28th Nov 2019 12:11

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

I'm not questioning your 757 knowledge but the 737 800s with winglets have a greater allowable distance to a suitable alternate than non-winglet 800s.

Not the same as the 757?

rubymurray 28th Nov 2019 13:45

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.

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?

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

A321-211 is 385nm, 231 is 373.

castleford tiger 30th Nov 2019 08:30

comparing v the 300

garry8g 30th Nov 2019 08:58

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.

MANFAN 30th Nov 2019 10:12
