Strikes me as a golden opportunity for Jet2 to have a go at the long haul market in the pursuit of further growth. If they don't go for long haul now they'll never have a better chance with the shortage of capacity next summer. There's lots of potential opportunities within the European market though so perhaps they'll focus on these instead and stick to what they know works. Would like to see them be bold and go for it. |

Also Orlando, Cancun, Vegas and Goa spring to mind as having lost a lot of capacity. |
Seats to some of these destinations are going to be hard to come by next summer, first to act will mop up. I guarantee we're not the only ones discussing it. There's a lot of TCX staff that would be pleased if somebody would act quickly too.

B757’s
Jethro’s advising tonight that Jet2 have cancelled the disposal of the 3 B757-200’s planned for the end of summer 19. Extra capacity for somewhere. |
Any update on the four 2nd hand B737-800s that Jet2 where getting?
Going by Jethro's they should have been D-ASXR, OY-PSE, VT-SPF and an unknown reg. |

seasonally they already operate to New York, so sort of have a toe in the longhaul already....

If they could get some more A330s it would help too, given LS/TCX frequently did the same destinations within hours of each, at NCL at least, they could certainly fill those on some of the more popular routes e.g. DLM, TFS etc. giving extra capacity without having to put lots of extra flights or additional aircraft? There is also scope to cover some of the routes TCX were the sole operator for e.g. Santorini, Skiathos etc. which have always been popular.

Did I ever say it wasn't? All I said was that I seem to recall the Jet2 New York flights started as a series of flights aimed at operating before Christmas to take people to the city for a shopping break. Are you saying this was not the fact? Yes Jet2 operate to a fantastic range of destinations and, as an operator, take every opportunity to develop new routes.

G-CELE & G-CELY still set for disposal in October. I notice LE hasn’t been used for a few days now, has the process started? G-CELY last flew yesterday (25th) so maybe not for the knackers yard just yet. But soon? |
