It would make sense for both A330's to be at MAN with A321's at STN & BHX

2nd A330 Operating where exactly?

T1 is also deeply unpleasant from a SLF point of view. When compounded by MAGs inability to organise a booze up at Strangeways, a jet2 in house ops from T2 would certainly get my vote.

Jet2 have this evening put on sale its 2018 festive New York flights.

1+ BFS = Nov 15th
1+ EMA = Nov 8th
2+ GLA = Oct 15th & Nov 22nd
7+ LBA = Oct 26th, Nov 19th & 30th, Dec 3rd, 7th, 10th & 28th
9+ MAN = Oct 19th & 22nd, Nov 5th & 29th, Dec 3rd, 13th, 18th, 23rd & 28th
8+ NCL = Oct 29th, Nov 1st, 12th & 26th, Dec 6th, 10th, 14th & 29th

Good 8 flights from NCL

Interesting that there are none from the 2 new bases, BHX/STN, like there was last year. I'm sure they would have flown practically full. Maybe adding on at a later stage?

Probably because of Primera?

Why? They are a series of charters not a regular scheduled flight.

I’ve seen the term ‘Chroma’ mentioned a few times? What is this please?

The STN NYC trips this winter were originally scheduled to be A330 but that had to be changed due to the uptake, so perhaps that's why no STN this coming winter?

With so many opportunities from the scheduled airlines within the London catchment areas I'm not surprised to see that Jet2 are not offering New York charter flights for winter 2018 from STN unlike their other bases with the exception of MAN in not having any links with New York so the opportunity for Jet2 to offer the flights from those airports are probably more feasible to run.

Jethros is now showing a second A330 with the tail number still pending. Anybody know where this is being based or have an details? I was told initially there would be 2 for summer 18 but then this was cancelled to having only 1 again.

50 PLANES flying today with many going to canaries and a cluster around Geneva.
A deal being done with SAGA .....being discussed? Anyone heard this?

Fairly standard winter flying prog. Canaries plus ski.

Saga deal?

Interesting. May be way off the mark here, but the holiday division were telegraphing a new product launch prior to the conference at the end of last year. It was never announced though, last minute legal hitch apparently.

Jet2Codgers has a certain ring to it.

According to Jethro's today, this will be Titan B757 GPOWH based at Leeds for Summer 18.

Are LS basing one of there own aircraft at ALC for S18 or are they leasing in from another carrier?

ALC will be 2x Jet2 B738.

Is Palma to have a B737-800 from Europa again this year? Or do Jet2 plan on having one of their own aircraft based there for Summer 18?

PMI is a 2+ B738 base as well.
Possiblity of a B738 been leased from AEA which will be based MAN or PMI.

I would imagine the Air Europa would be PMI based like last summer.

Some lively chatter here on LS1507 STN-LPA diverted via Brest.
Perhaps someone could enlighten them?

Does anyone know what the ex Transaero B737-800's will be registered as?

Will they continue the 'G-DRT_' registrations? (As in G-DRTC & G-DRTD).

I don't know for sure, but that would be my Guess too

G-DRT may well be one they would not want if you pronounce it as a child would G-dirt!

Well there are 2 in that batch already so not a problem by looks of it

See Jet 2 have won another award, This time for being the only airline to make it into the top 50 UK Companies for customer service

Pretty sure it's to do with their parent company 'Dart Group', so it'd be G-DaRT

G-DART was allotted 11.10.78 to a home build.

It is related to the Dart Group, however it’s not G-DaRT, there are already 2 aeroplanes in the fleet with G-DRTA and G-DRTB, so that sequence might continue with the 2nd hand aeroplanes that arrive.

It is the DART Group Johnny, oh dearie me!

Thanks CPT3B, merely a typo on my behalf, fixed now.

Jet2 latest Boeing 737-8MG, G-JZBH has departed BFI making its way on an overnight transatlantic delivery flight to LBA.

As usual its using the reg as its callsign.

Seen on the Jet2 website, they're looking to operate upto 90 aircraft. Are they leasing any further aircraft that we don't know about?

Also they plan to take 12m people this year, almost double the number of pax in just 3/4 years. Excellent work

Info from lbaspotter - Forums4airports

There seems to be two A330s aswell. The second one doesn't seem to have been confirmed yet but assume it will come from air tanker aswell.

Thanks for that Garry

So where's this 2nd A330 from Air Tanker everyone was talking about?

Don't think the second A330 has been confirmed by anyone yet (from AirTanker or whoever), so it may or may not appear before Summer 18.

GVYGM or K has been handed back from TCX to Airtanker - it is widely rumoured that this will be the 2nd aircraft but is yet to be confirmed - likely not to happen at this rate but should happen summer 2019.

ECIDT has been confirmed as PMI based this summer.
