Won't be accused of been a "Jet2 fan boy" and therefore Jet2 can do no wrong.

I watched the countless interviews with Steve Heapy during the pandemic and I'd like to get your view on this. Since your so anti putting holidays on for a 18 months out.

If Jet2/Jet2holidays keep the customers money, in a separate pot to their "business money" and the money is only transferred over once the flight has departed (Or probably been automatic the day after all that days flying) how is this risking cashflow? They can see, forward, what's coming into the business, knowledge of what is booked in advance bookings, probably got sight of what money is coming into the business in the next 3 months due flights been booked full etc. So tell me how on earth that is risky business?

Bare also in mind, Jet2 had a nice cash balance "pot" pre-pandemic, "surplus" cash if you will to see them through events such as the "pandemic". They are run very astutely, and know what with experience, what has caused other tour operators to fail/downsize and not be able to materialise on opportunities.

Your aware aren't you that other tour operators are also putting S24 on sale or will be soon. TUI, I believe, already have Long haul S24 on sale and have done for some number of weeks. TUI won't be far behind Jet2 when it comes to short haul and sales. So are TUI risking cashflow? Are easyJet holidays Risking Cashflow? Or are you just someone who lives day to day with the lies told in the media?

In a separate topic all together. Do you run a business?

TUI Summer 2024 holidays go on sale on 10th Nov

What’s the latest on the Neo deliveries for next year? I’m hearing 14, all going to MAN BHX and STN.

35 A320 NEOs ordered. Deliveries from 2028 to 2031.

Is that extra to A321s

Ian

Yes. It's an additional order. Options on this order for up to 71 aircraft in total.

It means that they have 98 aircraft as confirmed orders.

With options that would take the total to 146 aircraft. 75x A321neo and 71x A320neo.

Still hearing whispers of a possible South East operation, LGW/SOU/BOH being looked at?

LGW off the agenda due lack of Runway slots. I think if Jet2 were to join there they'd want to go in big from the outset - 10 based aircraft.

SOH/BOH are rumoured but only that. Personally until we start to see a lot more A321 Neo's come into the operation and fold I dont see another base. BRS has got plenty of room for expansion and the airline know this. As have other bases. And with the closure of DSA I wonder if Jet2 know they can make more inroads with market share expanding LBA EMA etc. I've heard a rumour both 757 from Titan will be based at LBA next summer.

An expanding fleet with A21N due for delivery commencing Q223, is there a need? (Genuine query)

Not many due first year and they’ll be MAN/BHX/STN.

Both Jet2 A330's still being used today. When is their last day for S22?

I believe today is their last day, both are positioning back to Brize Norton tomorrow

End of the traditional ‘charter’ summer season is 31st October, so it’s nothing unusual.

Bournemouth was strongly rumoured to become a base for Summer 2020, then came a pandemic.

Have heard recent talk of SOU

Not H24 currently.

Southampton as a base is very unlikely. It lacks the runway length, apron space or terminal size. Even when the airport is expanded, its unlikely to be anywhere near ready for an operation such as Jet2s for the next 5 years at least.
