Jet2's A321NEOs have CFM Leap engines rather than Pratt and Whitney's so they won't be affected by this. There are delays in receiving raw materials for the engines however. They are being paid a pretty penny in compensation from Airbus and CFM hence why it makes sense to buy some more mid-life 737s as an interim solution. It also will enable them to retire some of the older -800s at some point. Some of the -800s are some of the oldest flying.

The PW issue means that more airlines are seeking used 320 for interim use to cover the big numbers of 320neo that will be grounded. Good sense for J2 all round

GJZDD arrived from NWI a few days ago into LBA and GJZDE an ex Peagus is due in the next few days into MAN for fleet growth.

LBIA 7th Nov 2023 17:53

G-JZDE is that the ex Pegasus TC-CPY that was flight-planned to operate Istanbul to Leeds last Thursday as "PGT034"?

What’s happening with G-JZBY? It was initially one due for the summer and it’s still not entered service IFAIK. Given it is ex sunwing it wouldn’t surprise me if tech issues have delayed EIS!

aircraft has been at Prague since the end of August, so presumable under going maintenance before being flown to the UK

A post on another site claims 9 second hand 737s will arrive this winter, with 8 year old ex sun express TC-SCG the next to join. This is as well as continued Neo deliveries with 3 expected the next few months.

Going the other way G-LSAA will retire this week and G-LSAB at some other point this winter.

G-LSAA looking very forlorn at Manchester airport today, devoid of all its decals, sad to see a 757 disappearing

Last revenue service was Nov 10th MAN - AGP and return LS809 / 810
Final landing bang on time. Fitting end to 35 year commercial career.
Off to Lasham soon?

Flightrider 14th Nov 2023 17:16

A career which started as G-BNSF with Air Europe. Put it like that and it really does say what a workhorse that aircraft has been - with a Yorkshire connection of Intasun in Bradford to Jet2 based in Leeds running from beginning to end !

Was planned to be DGX tomorrow. Not sure if that is still happening and what lies in store thereafter.

Positioned to DGX today and Jethro's reporting it is indeed for part out and scrap.

Arrived DGX 10.02.
Just as an anorak question - how do the crew get home? Does Jet2 have a company puddle jumper that follows them down/
Extra eg -G-JZBC currently en route to Bridtol ex Stansted. Does crew stay for the duration or get back to STN somehow.
Just askin'

goldeneye 15th Nov 2023 12:06

Anyone know why Jet2 flew a 737 to INV from STN on the 14th Nov. Aircraft is still on the ground at INV.

Ah yes. Must have missed that.
New Route - Costa Del Freezin' Cold.

TC-SCG and TC-SCF have both been delivered tonight to LBA and MAN respectively. Both 8 year old 737s ex SunExpress.
Not been registered to jet2 yet but you would presume they will become G-JZDF and G-JZDG with DD and DE arriving a couple of weeks ago.

5 more 737s (plus presumably the ex sunwing that’s vanished into thin air) and at least 3 more 321s to arrive this winter.

Pegasus TC-CPY (to become G-JZDE) poised for delivery 20Nov.
