As per post 2351.
G-CELY has been a good bus for Jet2. There was a group of 733 in Ansett colours, including G-CELY, parked at BOH for several months in 2002 I believe. |

To save on costs all the leases from Air Europa, Titan Airways, Smart Lynx, Hi Fly & Air Tanker have been cancelled. Hence the A332's going back to RAF Brize Norton.

There may have been large penalties for doing this, so they must be fairly sure they wont need them for the rest of the summer - which is probably a reasonable assumption at this stage.

Even that seems very optimistic.
Its really for the SLF Board but thought it might get answered here. |

Have you seen the steps they are taking, right down to spraying the streets, closing bars etc? Bet more being done there than here. |

Do we know if the A330s leases are permanently cancelled or temporary,if so until when? Also, anyone know if we can expect a more rapid 757 retirement now?

I don’t know, I’d imagine it’ll be out with Jet2 colours reapplied. There has been no mention about it leaving any time soon anywhere else.

I have just been in correspondence with the hotel I am meant to be staying at in Mallorca from the 1st of may and been told that Jet2 have informed the hotel that the earliest flights will be starting back up is mid June yet the website still shows as flights available and going from May 1st. Can anybody shed any light?? I have a large group booking and constantly getting asked the question are we going, are we not, are we getting money back, are we not. I am aware the goalposts are moving on a daily basis but if they have made hoteliers aware they are not flying till mid June why are they still selling flights for May?

Jet2 like all airlines desperately need the cashflow to keep their business alive. While BA might be deemed a strategic asset for the UK, Jet2 management know the Govt will be much less inclined to bail out Jet2. Jet2 management might protest in public but know full well they need to be self-reliant
If Jet2 announce a flight is cancelled, people start demanding refunds and the cash balance in the bank declines rapidly taking Jet2 that bit closer to bankruptcy |
G-LSAN

Reported at post 2224 as being due NWI for a re-paint
757 G-LSAN remains at Norwich still, arrived for paint and entered the paint shop on arrival reason she had to circle a few times on arrival was that the airport closes for 30 min and she was in the close time so had to circle before landing Pilot was not too happy as was not aware of this when departing Man Mark |

As a well run, well liked and profitable (normally) airline it is in a better position to raise cash itself and more likely to get Government help than Virgin for example. Also the UK will still need a company to take people on European holidays once this all over.

I heard (third hand) a couple of days ago that Jet2 hasn't furloughed their pilots, and is still paying them their full salary. It is difficult to imagine they'd be doing this unless they are extremely flush with cash, and frankly with the government furlough scheme in place it would beggar belief if they weren't taking advantage of it to preserve the business whilst it is to all intents and purposes mothballed.

If the poster heard it third hand a few days ago, it was probably correct. Most pilots were only furloughed on the 31st of March - 2nd of April (base dependant). Some weren't (yet).

Your refund will obviously take months to organise. All airlines are in the same boat. If the government/FCO extends the non-essential travel ban beyond 17th April you can claim on your travel insurance (providing it was purchased prior to COVID-19). |
