Seems like it’s just a very convenient coincidence. Or from the other side, perhaps the LS code encouraged them to move to Leeds? Very unlikely I’d say but worth noting whilst we've been pondering...

Oh yeah I wasn’t arguing that, I was just stating that both of the locations are in fact in an LS postcode, after another poster said they were not.
a very happy coincidence indeed

G-GDFF is back from Victorville and back in service.

The connection to a Leeds postcode was not intentional, but no doubt a handy marketing ploy for a business putting down new routes in the north..

Smart company!

G-DRT has been the sequence for the second hand B738s (since G-JZHH) but we have reached G-DRTZ now so it will be interesting to see what comes next 😉

Thanks. I had wondered about the GDFs. NOTICED GDFC parked up at TFS yesterday as the 'spare'. I believe she had covered a Faro relief flight and saw her returning on Friday night.

I noticed a TUI bird next to her with engine covers. Assumed this was their "spare" but then, on taxi saw it was a MAX.

Just out of interest they were having problems with Sahara sand in the Canaries over weekend

LiamNCL 25th Feb 2020 22:18

Number of flights have left TFS tonight and have headed to FAO AGP and ALC im guessing this is to free up TFS without enough hours to reach their final destination ?

There is also the potential of another aircraft from Hi Fly, possibly another A330.

The next A321 has rolled out of the paint hangar at Ostrava looking a bit white.

Does any know ?
Are all the jet 2 holidays insignias just ‘ stickers’ ? I would of thought the blue tail would be paint at least...

Where is this information coming from? It's very late in the day for another A330 from Hi Fly considering, more then likely, all the numbers for Crew and Training crew on the different aircraft has already been established and is underway.

A330 from Hi Fly next year maybe. This year no. And Jet2 are not a late mover.

Several pages back on this forum it was mentioned, as it was originally the intention to have 2 A321's from Hi Fly (Can't remember the date or post number).

This definitely won’t happen now. The program has been signed off now and if anything Jet2 will now be very cautious with the Coronavirus situation. This may require for flights / holidays to be adjusted. Particularly if the situation doesn’t improve in northern Italy

Is that 'painting' meaning 'UNpainting'?

As far as I am aware AN is not being retired so maybe just due for its repaint.

AN has just come back from MX at QLA and from the photos I've seen the rudder has had the paint ripped off for some reason so it would make sense.

I doubt it as one of their 'younger' 757's.

What ever your source is. It is wrong. Having just come out of a major check clearly by its flight radar tracked activity AN is due to stay. Otherwise it would of been flying around just like AD and AH which are the next two to leave the fleet.

Not on sale yet (or may not go back on sale) - RMU (2x Weekly 2020), LRH (1x Weekly 2020), PUY (1x Weekly 2020 - though has reduced from 2x weekly).

Increases for PMI, MAH, ACE, TFS, CFU, HER, JSI, RHO, ZTH.
Decreases for CHQ, JMK, ALC and GRO.

At present 226 weekly frequencies for Summer 2020 and Summer 2021 - so no real growth. Just altering the programme around to reflect best sellers one would imagine.

While obviously worrying, not impacting the major Spanish destinations (yet!)

San Expiry 13th Mar 2020 15:59

Silly me! I missed the bit in the headline '

Foreign Office tells Britons not to travel to Spain unless it is essential

that exempted Jet2 holidays.

SWBKCB 13th Mar 2020 16:07

From the Gov.uk website:


The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) against all but essential travel to the regions that the Spanish Ministry of Health have designated as areas of community transmission of coronavirus, as follows: Madrid and La Rioja, and the municipalities of La Bastida and Vitoria (both in the Basque Country) and Miranda de Ebro (in Castilla y León) ('Health' and 'Summary' pages)
