Note FD is one of the oldest -800s still operating in the world and has winglets. Not sure it will be arround long enough to get the scims mind.

you'd think GLA/EDI as furthest north would have exclusively newest most fuel efficient and all scimitar (or A321neos) … but yet no… at least no 733’s!

Does not make a major difference. The 321s are better placed at MAN/BHX, where demand is generally higher.

G-SUNG still hasn’t moved, around a month since it’s (already significantly delayed) delivery now. Problem aircraft?

Well the people who matter in the business obviously don’t see operating Rwanda flights as an issue at all, considering Michael O’Leary has come out and said he’s more than happy to use his aircraft. Maybe people can stop wetting the bed now.

A321neos are due at EDI for summer '25, until then it's the 737-800, until the SSWs have been fitted to the majority of the fleet it will be a mix as always. 737-300s fly out of LBA normally apart from charter/extra capacity operations (6 nations rugby in Rome).

Jet2s Boeings are actually very reliable compared to some of their new NEOs which has had some issues after delivery.

Hi all does anyone know the reason for the delay on this please? Outbound A/C left on time pretty much.

Thanks

G-SUNJ (d-azxm) has now had 4 test flights in Hamburg.
Previous frames only had 2 (including the customer acceptance flight) prior to delivery.

anybody know a reason for this?

If you mean G-SUNG I have heard it was delayed going in hangar due to the que of 738s in front that were taking long to get service ready
Anyway the old paint hangar is to be taken on by Jet2 for airbus products when they are major overhaul from 2026
