It would appear so as the Jet2 NEO layout seats 232.

a321 neo
 

We have booked a week away next April to Fuerteventura with Jet2 and the seat plan shows an aircraft with 40 rows so would think this could be a 321 neo

from Birmingham that is.

What will happen to the CEO’s then? Will they stay at BHX, or with neos arriving could the neo’s replace them and the CEO’s add capacity at other bases until more NEO’s come, I’m mainly thinking STN or NCL

Airbus to be at MAN and BHX for 24, expanding to EDI for 25. They will be based as capacity requirement dictate.

when is this expected to be announced

Will that be a mix of NEO and CEO at both or will the 3 CEO’s remain at one of the two bases?

The NEOs seat 232 passengers where as the CEOs seat 220 passengers. When more A321NEOs are delivered, I can see the CEOs being disposed of as they are a bit of an oddball in the fleet.

What's plan for A330's next Summer 24? Will it be the same as this year?

G-GDFT STATUS?
 

Looks like G-GDFT 737-300 hadn't turned a wherl since August.
Is it destined for beer can factory, overwinter storage, or on a Check?
At c25 years old its not as ancient as some of what are becoming 'heritage' :) airframes.

Announcement was put back due to the earthquake in Morocco.

I'd expect that if there are enough A321neo (and other frames i.e. 738/320neo) at the time of lease expiry they will be let go.....as you say a sub-fleet of 3 isn't optimal

Heavy maintenance check at Dublin. Aircraft has 52,075 hours on the clock as at 31-Jul-2023

733's will keep flying until no longer economically viable and suitable alternative frames are available...some of 752's have 10 years on this one so expect it to be around for a few years yet.

Summer 2025 went on sale today!

Looks like Jet2 is increasing their lead over TUI in the UK.

https://www.canarianweekly.com/posts...-tour-operator

According to Wikipedia TUI UK have 71 aircraft vs Jet2 with 102 so hardly surprising but remember TUI as a Group is far larger. They have been held back by Max, still don't known when the Max10s will arrive which should have replaced 757s on trunk routes.

Ask who Jet2 are to a German, Dutch or Belgium customer and they will say Jet who?

Thanks to Brexit it is probably less likely Germans, Dutch or Belgians will ever become familiar with the Jet2 brand, even though the name Jet2 would be quite usable in all those countries.

Their best route into the EU would of course be an Irish operation, with an Dublin based fleet on the EI register. Then the could buy smaller independent tour operators on the European mainland and service them using the EI fleet.

Would it happen? Unlikely in the short term, but medium term who knows.

Doubt they’d be interested in venturing outside of the U.K. they’re confident there’s plenty more growth to be had here. Perhaps when that’s exhausted.. That said, they seem to have tapped into a very British market and exploited that all-in-one holiday booking and customer focus that got lost in the low-cost era. They have done exceptionally well at this.

No, they will probably say "Ah yes, that holiday organisation we saw being checked in at Palma or Tenerife, with uniformed staff out managing the families, chatting to the kids, and multiple desks open, while we were all in a single tedious queue as our handling agent had been beaten down to minimum price.

Anyone have an idea of ongoing recruitment at the moment, how long can you expect to hear back from an application or is recruitment on hold now until just before spring?

Another two Boeing 737-800s are joining the fleet; G-JZDD an G-JZDE - not sure of MSNs

They will say - "Ah they're a British Airline that didn't benefit from a 4 Billion Euro German government subsidy and yet are still profitable yah?"

Recruitment is year round. No idea of how long it will take for you to hear back.

Subsidy? Really? :rolleyes:

If you do some research on the TUI German Government covid loans you will find out that two large repayments have been made with more to come.
I think you will also find that Jet2 workers benefited from our Government's furlough scheme.
So all in all a rather pointless remark by your yourself.
I have no connection with TUI or Jet2

Agree vectisman, some people don't seem to realise without competition there probably wouldn't be competitive prices (I use jet2, tui and easy jet) and have no leaning to any of them.

I think it depends on the role being applied for. Cabin crew recruitment is not year round, and I believe has just opened and from memory a response is usually within a couple of weeks. They occasionally reopen it for specific bases at other times of year depending upon their needs.

Anyone knows the exact number of a/c to be based at the mentioned airports?
https://www.jet2.com/news/2023/10/Je...sale_for_2025_

Actually in many resorts/airports there are huge adverts, loads of coaches in Jet2 livery. Id say they are well aware who/what jet2 is

Jet 2 has a great deal of potential to grow further but who are the backers?

​​​​​​​Jet2 are owned by Jet2 PLC who has revenue last year of £5 billion. Reckon they can raise whatever funds they want…

Liverpool will get a 5th based aircraft for Summer 25 and three new routes to Malaga, Malta and Reus plus increased frequencies on a number of other routes

It'll probably get a sixth before Summer 25 eventually comes around. A few of the newer bases have had similar growth patterns in previous times. I'm doubtful though EZY will be basing aircraft in LPL beyond Summer 25. Just my subjective view but who knows what impact Jet2 will have.

I suspect that it’s TUI taking the hit from the growth of Jet2 in the North West rather than easyJet. Indeed, the recent easyJet trading statement is extremely bullish about the prospects for easyJet holidays which is trading ahead of budget and is seen as the main growth engine in the future.

Looks like the A330-300 CS-WFP has finished its season with Jet2

Last flight TFS-MAN 16OCT23

Had the opportunity to fly on this bird down to Faro. Genuinely pleasant but you could tell it’s been worn down over the years

I wonder if CS-WFP will return next year? Believe there are 3 A330's booked for S24. Are any staying over W23?
