PPRuNe Forums - Jet2-5

Does this mean there is always a crew based at TFS purely for standby purposes? Or is it solely the aircraft in case of tech issues? If that's the case, it could be tight for crew hours at times.

TUI also base an aircraft at TFS for the winter season but this is utilised everyday on flights.

G-LSAG again?
Flew LS917 MAN-TFS yesterday (11/11) but didn't return.
The resident G-DRTF did its first ex TFS revenue flight and brought LS918 back to MAN just a couple of hours late.
G-LSAG gone AOG again or just ringing the changes with the 737??

The first 6 are TCDD, DP, DE, DK, DB, DG all from storage Shannon.

Ex MON G-ZBAM and G-ZBAO in hybrid MON/TCX livery. I wonder if they'll now get a total makeover?
Plenty of time - Jethro's says 'acquired. Due Summer 20' along with 5 other A321s

They were due into the paint shop for TCX this winter so imagine they will be in full Jet2 livery by start or service.

To go AOG once is bad enough, but to go AOG twice in the space of a week, at the SAME destination
Surely the writings on the wall for this one.

Mmmh - shades of G-CELI perhaps except this time the 'rags' haven't found out to make a meal of it.

There's a 737 (-300 I think) on the ground in Toulouse...tech or another issue?

Correct, AG is the first to be retired and will be gone from the fleet within days, as planned for a while, so not related to the 2 unconnected recent AOG incidents.

Good to see them take on charters as well.

At BHX today 11 fairly busy based aircraft operating 15 flights plus they have added a 12th to take Wasps to Bordeaux for their Challenge Cup game.

coming back to MAN tonight hopefully and then it isn’t planned to have any passenger flights until it completes its end of life/de-Jet2 Ified and will then position out on Tuesday morning for the scrap yard. Nothing to do with it’s recent tech issues - this has always been planned.

Never more true than in LSAG's case.

Looks like JZHR is also a relief aircraft sat in AYT too.
