Anyone know if there is any truth in the rumour that Jet2 are adding the Greek Island of Skiathos to their destinations next summer ?
In conversation at the weekend with a hotelier buddy on Skiathos tells me one of his fellow hoteliers is telling people he's signed a contract with Jet 2 holidays for 2020 There is definitely a gap in the market to fill following TC's collapse, they sold lots of package holiday's and flight only to Skiathos. Its an 'interesting' landing so I'll bet Jet2 will think, or have thought long and hard about it. |
Cant help think this is a good oppertunity for Jet2 to enter the Hurghada market aswell. Big gap left from Thomas Cook & i know Jet2 have stayed away from the Africa market since the SSH launch years ago but there is a market and certainly hotels looking for a new partner.

For my family, Tunisia and Egypt will have to be a lot more stable and safer for the leisure traveller before we even contemplated those destinations.
|
We will know more by the end of the year I’m guessing that we shall see some new destinations where TCX used to fly and maybe even a new UK Departure point there will be a lot of work going on at the minute but it will all depend on slots and aircraft available and hotels etc |
'new UK departure point' - oh, don't get them started!:=

Anyone confirm? If the Airbus fleet expansion and aircrew does come about, many of the projects and expansion mentioned in previous posts would come true. The business opportunities are too good to miss. |
They would be mad not to surely ? The crew are available , The aircraft are available , The hotels are available and the all important passengers are available. If anyone can do it then its Jet2 and i hope they do! Bringing in Airbus A321 aircraft will add even more diversity to the fleet alongside the bigger A330.

The rumour is about, heard it a couple of days ago, but can't confirm it's actually happening.

Which sometimes is not always a great thing... Airtours used to have every plane under the sun and look what happened to them... Stick to 738's. On the other hand the business opportunities offered by the demise of TCX won't be around for ever and in the holiday business it is now or never. Either the customer is served with what he wants now or he goes elsewhere. As JET2 have already had a few seasons with the Airbus330, they could even contemplate taking on their own A330s. They have the golden opportunity of adding A321s with TREs and experienced crew plus maintenance staff and engineers. All available immediately to expand their coming winter and next summer programmes to meet the extra demand. Yes, it would be better to be all Boeing but there's nothing on offer immediately from Boeing. |

I think there is some far fetched theories going on in this thread. The only A321s Jet2 will be getting are the likes of Smartlynx and Titan - I very much doubt they’ll take any of the TCX fleet unless they happen to be leasing from an airline that have taken on some of the old fleet. i think they will stay cautious. It’s a very difficult time for the economy and don’t they know it - Brexit, weak pound, high fuel prices. Jet2 are very good at what they do, there’s absolutely no denying that, but they’ll have everything in mind and I highly doubt they’ll take any risks or make any rash decisions. If the MAX was to come back into service it may increase the availability and reduce the cost of leased aircrafts, which would help, but that is a massive IF. i think the likes of NCL, GLA, BHX and STN can probably only realistically hope for 2 at most additionally based aircraft, on some days, and then MAN will probably get the additional A330 from Tanker and some of other leased aircraft. I think people hoping Jet2 taking on numerous additional aircraft on will probably be disappointed come next summer unless something massively changes. After all, less demand is going to lead to higher prices with higher loads, why would they take unnecessary risks? |
Go for it Jet2.com! You can do it!
Flights equally split between T1 & T2 at MAN if it happens... |
Envlop 330 arrived at MAN not long ago under a EXS flight number from MAD. How long have LS got it and where will it be used ?

Lots of hard work and negotiations going on as we speak. As far as I know and I would know, No new base for 2020, Obviously MAN is our main priority right now. Tunisia is not happening nor is Egypt, far to unstable for our operations right now. As for any kind of ex Thomas Cook Aircraft / Crew I’m not in a position to comment, as you can imagine this is very commercially sensitive information. All I can say is there will be extra flights from existing based, and work continues to launch more routes for summer 2020. |
