I think it’s out there for repainting. |
With TUI announcing that they are going to fly into Melbourne (MLB) in Florida rather than Sanford from 2022 would this have any bearing if Jet2 decided to start to fly to MCO?

MLB v SFB/MCO

UK airlines were offered greatly reduced landing fees at Sanford, and therefore many carriers relocated their operations. Virgin and BA stayed put at MCO I gather was it Thomas Cook who went back to MCO in recent years. TUI's latest move is to tie-in with their large cruise ship operation, with the MLB airport nearer Port Canaveral If Jet2 ventures to Florida my guess is they will fly to SFB or MCO |
You're correct. Thomas Cook operated into Orlando.

Agree with the G-JZ part, but the A* range has already been taken up with the G-LSA* range, Can imagine from an ops and maintenance perspective have two different aircraft called Alpha Alpha would be confusing
Plenty of others to choose from though. Jet2 owned reg's currently start with A, B, F, H, L and T W is also out, as they lease these from Titan That leaves upto 19 different options |
Jet 2 will not require these aircraft until the 2020 summer season, with a limited number prior to that for crew training.
I would not put any mind to where these aircraft might be heading. They will need to go into storage, ideal climate not being in England or Ireland. Prior to delivery all 7 aircraft will require a heavy maintenance check to clear them for 24 months (what was a "C" check), as is the norm and a paint job. This can be anywhere in the world and is a lot cheaper outside of the UK. |

I think its more likely that the announcement of Gold Medal/Travel2 doing their own charters would fit the Orlando market better.

As for Jet2 possible long haul, there’s some big gaps in the market that would fit the Jet2 demographic very well. Orlando/Sanford, Puerto Plata, Varadero, Holguin and Cayo Coco spring to mind. |
Cabin crew on our recent Jet2 flight out of BHX confidently told me that flights to Orlando would be starting in 2020.
I appreciate that this is far from an official announcement, but it would appear that the rumours may be true. |

Mmm... its not gone that well for other's who tried long haul charter leisure... (Monarch, Excel, Excalibur etc) Why do they just not stick to what they seem to do very well... good product short haul. The logistics and costs with long haul are in different league. |
Jet2 have no interest in starting long haul. They know their market and what works for them and have enough going on next year with the a321 project. in other news GDRTR is on its way from CTU via Astana and then MAN arriving in the morning. |
