Post 1739 - Brian Droney
What a pleasure to read a sensible reasoned and sympathetic post highlighting the advantages of Jet 2 purchasing 4 x A321 ex Thomas Cook. A total contrast from all the negative winging and moaning on PPrune and in Westmister.
It shows that there are still companies around who look further than the next quarter's financial results and also have a sense of social responsibility. As Brian says, it seems to me like a "Win-Win Situation" for all concerned, well done Jet 2 ! |

brining that experience to Jet2 could be a win for both parties.

As Brian says, it seems to me like a "Win-Win Situation" for all concerned, well done Jet 2 ! Also to add my two cents to this argument - Air Tanker used TC engineers for the A330's. Get some Airbus rated pilots into the Jet2 fold and Jet2 will be able to provide the service to Air Tanker at no doubt discounted rates or within he contract. And with them expanding the A330 to 3 - i have even heard a rumour of 4 (1x A330 388 seater) this will be useful indeed. |
But all of this assumes that they really have purchased Airbus.
Of which there has been no credible evidence, other than posts from people on here, No Official Announcement although there was speculation that there would have been over a week ago. The only real evidence is the seat maps for some of next years flights. Sadly this all seems like another series of wet leases from Smart Lynx and Titan to me, Hope I am wrong, I too have been through the pain of redundancy in this industry 3 times, but i doubt it. |

I would agree that there are hardly massive holes to fill with the demise of TCX. If anything, they may want to consolidate and lift yields at those locations. Unless slots are so scarce to warrant a land grab but I doubt it. As for BOH, Jet2 have no presence at LGW so this could potentially pull demand away from the likes of easyJet and Norwegian. Could be quite strategic to do this especially if they did a split operation between BOH and SOU? 2 aircraft each. from facebook |

BRS has seen around 3 or 4 TCK a/c lost but EZY TUI and FR all have very strong presence there CWL was summer only TCK afaik? EXT nothing for years (only TUI now for package holidays, plus FR muscling in) |

A321’s for next summer
Ground crew for Jet2 have just received an internal communication which mentions 7x A321’s for next year based at BHX and MAN. I’m sure there will be a statement soon from the company

Looks like Jet2 are looking for more Airbus according to the Word on the Ground issued today.

To support growth and to give us additional capacity for Summer 2020, we are planning to introduce seven Airbus A321’s under our own Jet2.com Air Operator Certificate (AOC), in time it is likely more may follow. Four of these aircraft will be based in Manchester (MAN) and three will be based in Birmingham (BHX). This is clearly a very exciting time and a return to Airbus operations for the Company having operated Airbus A300 freighters in the 1990’s. The Airbus A321’s will be in the 220 seat configuration and along with our well established Boeing fleet, will help to continue to provide our customers with a fantastic experience going to and coming back from their well deserved holidays. Once in service, planned for April 2020, they will be flying to all our current destinations and there will be additional aircraft in the Bases highlighted supporting, the current fleet |

There currently 6 A321’s ex TCX at Lasham
|
Hope some of the ex TCX employees can join Jet2 with this news. |
HM Govt has lifted the air travel ban into and out of SSH for UK flights -
SSH was a huge market in its hey day especially in the winter, but the Egypt downturn was pivotal in Monarch's demise. Jet2 have wisely stayed well clear of Egypt and Tunisia up to now - I wonder what they are thinking? |

Your statement is not backed up by the quote. The airline can lease aircraft and have them on the Jet2 AOC.
It will be interesting to see if they're cheaper older frames (less sharklets) or whether they are newer more expensive frames (with sharklets). With Jet 2's history of 2nd hand frames you would say the former, however if they are intended as genuine 757 replacements the sharkleted ones would make more sense. |
