I wonder if any Crew have pet-names for any in the fleet? |
I’m confused... toilet? |

Summer third party plan is out, STN - 4 x Titan Airways A321 aircraft BHX - 1 x Smart lynx A321 aircraft MAN - 3 x Air Tanker A330 aircraft and 2 x Hi fly A321 aircraft LBA - 1 x Air Europa B738 aircraft |
That’s in addition to the 7 A321s and 2(?) 738s added to the main fleet? How does this compare with summer 19? |

that’s great, probably both Titan and Hi Fly adding to their fleet - there’s still plenty of old TCX airframes about |

Congratulations on Jet2 taking up a lot of the slack from TC. How come you guys don't fly to Egypt? Sharm is back online now and Hurghada and Marsa Alam are popular detinations. Luxor is now picking up regarding tourism.

Only now we just see TUI after 4 years recommence packages to Sharm, and EZY I gather will also start flights again, but hey presto the Gulf and ME again erupts which could spill over once more with security issues. Jet2 are not daft. There are no UK charters to Luxor for a long time now - TUI UK stopped theirs. The Arab Spring Egypt and Tunisia terror attacks killed off Monarch along with the SSH shutdown after Metrojet crash - The loss of their huge market share to Egypt was immense for MON. |

The simple answer is, we don’t need to take the risk. We have enough to do with developing the destinations that we have, and expanding the bases we have to serve those destinations with a suitable frequency.

If the situation in the The Middle East deteriorates and UK Gov revises its Turkey guidance from 'be vigilant' to 'do not travel' it will be I suspect commercialy very bad news for Jet2 who've put a lot of expansion into that program.

Given the escalation of trouble in Iraq/Iran, Turkey has already said there could be attacks on tourists in the region. It bound to make people nervous about travelling to the Middle East.
Whilst growing their own routes, Jet2 are mainly now filling in for the capacity which was lost from the loss of Thomas Cook. |
From experience Turkey's tourism to both the beach resorts, and Istanbul sadly does get affected with downturns in bookings when security and unrest occur not just in Turkey, but also in the surrounding ME and the Gulf regions.
Folk do get nervous and will stay away and book elsewhere - the past few summers have shown that with 50% down in 2015 and 2016. Few Western tourists now visit IST compared to 5 or so years ago. UK Cruise ships no longer call in to Istanbul (a Jewel of a city to visit) nor also at Kusadasi (for Ephesus) - The UK cruise lines have simply pulled all their ships out of Turkey. But Brexit uncertainty saw a huge rise in summer 2019 bookings to Turkey BUT that was lost with the loss of 800000 future bookings due to the collapse of Thomas Cook. Jet2 obviously hope to pick up plenty of that potential business for summer 2020 but Turkey still remains a volatile destination. |
Sorry rog cruise ships will still call at Istanbul this summer including Marella (TUI to me an you) and Fred Olsen are doing a Black sea cruise this autumn.

Well FWIW THE Flying Hi's have just put their money down on a Bodrum BJV holiday for May, forsaking Spain and the Canaries.
Just about as far from ME hotspots as you can get without being in Kos. Lol. |
Flying Hi's
And the SS sprogs have just booked a Jet2 holiday to Bodrum from BHX for July. Price and hotel quality beat Cyprus hands down. SS |
I disagree rog, I’m back there for the 3rd time this summer, with Jet2.com
