I work for flyjet and have no idea about that one,but then again the crew are always the last to know about anything! we had a news letter in june and they said there would be one every month to keep us up dated and look we're in august now and we've had nothing.

For those cynics of you who are interested, Flyjet will restart flying from their new, Newcastle base again at the beginning of September. Previously flying from their has gone very smoothly with very minimal delays and excellent passenger reactions (a credit to the dedication and experience of FJE crews!!!).

Just a thought, but maybe, we are jinxed at LGW!!

I for one, while have grievances like everyone else and have the ability to pick faults with Flyjet and every other charter airline, cause lets face it each and every airline has delays and problems hope we expand, perhaps slowly and gradually become, probably not a huge player in the adhoc charter market but a company with a reputation for good service.:D

Can anyone explain something to me. Flyjet already holds a UK Civil Aviation Authority Type A Operating Licence, as its name appears on the CAA list here.

However, according to today's Civil Aviation Authority Official Record (here), they have applied for another one.

Why would you need to do this?

The current licence is for charter flights only:

Flyjet Ltd
Route Licence authorising charter flights for the carriage of passengers and/or cargo and/or mail between any combination of points anywhere in the world, subject to the terms of the licence holder's Air Operator's Certificate.

The new application includes scheduled flights:

S/057 Flyjet Limited has applied to operate scheduled flights between any combination of points, within the terms of the holder’s Air Operator’s Certificate
C/057 Flyjet Limited has applied to operate chartered flights between any combination of points, within the terms of the holder’s Air Operator’s Certificate

I'm no expert but this looks like a likely reason to me.

The Flyfirstclass operation is a scheduled flight....so no great surprise here...there are also as couple of other irons in the fire which will need a scheduled licence....could this mean that the 767 issue is nearly solved?? it would seem pointless to have one without the other??

Gatwicknose - the Silverjet operation is scheduled flights too, is that one of the irons??

Was wondering myself what the irons were? Always the last to hear :}

I see flyjet are back in NCL, lets hope no more hiccups there!

Its like a spiders web...lots of links between lots of operations...will know more soon

The Silverjet website says they are "in advanced negotiations to secure options on another 3 aircraft" could that be EA,EB and EC????? Interesting!!

more news by the end of the day I hope....767 still sleeping at lasham...seats in storage....silverpeople spotted at FJE HQ

By the end of the day.....oh do let us know. The next staff newsletter has been a long time coming and staff are itching to know what fate holds in store for us!

LGW EB... usual deal..... start looking for some biz class seats for the 757!!

start looking for biz seats
 

would this be anything to do with
stansted-bermuda wilmington route (flyfirstclass)
just looked at the website lots more on it now

planned times arr/dep
mon/thu dep STN 1000 arr STN 0640 stansted-bermuda-stansted
fri/sun dep STN 0845 arr STN 1240 stansted-bermuda-wilmington

flight opp by flyjet 90 seats 3 class's
first class 10 seats
biz class 54 seats
suite class 26 seats

website says ticket sales will begin 4th quarter 2006

So does that mean Flyjet will be reconfiguring one of the present 757's or acquiring another?

So what does fate hold in store for our 767 a/c, considering that it was supposed to operate FFC routes ex STN?

Surely an extra a/c needs to be sought for FJE to complete contracts it has gained! NCL needs an a/c year round, as does MAN. LGW also requires a unit, usuallly kept fairly busy with subs and the usual charter work. Carried out quite alot of interesting sub work last winter.

Incidentally is the management looking at more than 3 years work for NCL where the XL contract was signed? From down here it looks as though NCL is FJE's most successful contract yet, with positive pax reactions and excellent punctuality!

Lets hope this big announcement, when it comes is the start of a new life for Flyjet!:ok:

07 Sept FJE 423
 

Was massive delay of this flight back to UK from Faro 07 Sept. W3hen did the FJE423 eventually land? Anyone know? Thanx.

really what is going on a flyjet, apparantly a flight went last night with another company operating and the flyjet crew just doing bar service. some answers are needed now!!!!!

well if you think about it, 2 a/c 3 bases MAN/LGW/NCL, i believe the lgw base had less flights remaining once the a/c went back to ncl so i spose it makes sense to subb the remainder of the lgw flights and consolidate what you can.

The problem you face with subbing is that you may not allways be able to get the a/c you need at the time you need it, hence delays and if there is little available in the market, you have to take what you can get and ride with the delay.

If an airline that you have subbed in to operate your flight and are using the original airlines bar then most airlines will put a few crew on to help with the bar paperwork etc etc. It can also have its drawbacks in the fact that if it is a hefty delay and only a few fje crew on board, they may take a bit of flak for it but you can turn this round and make it as an opportunity to explain to the customer what has happened and try and do some service recovery. For a customer to hear it from the horses mouth rather than just being given a letter and thats it, can make alot of difference. The fje crew do a brilliant job and i know that their personalitys will shine through delivering what they do best.

:ok: :ok:

err right ok , does anyone at flyjet got any answers

nicksfix:

if you read what i have wrote previuosly, it answers your questions:

2 a/c 3 bases - one base will suffer

crew doing bars - explained in my last post, if the bars belonged to you, would you not want to make sure that the correct prices were being charged, an unfamiliar bar to the operating crew hence the need for fje crew to be present to assist, plus the bar paperwork to complete. Many airlines do this if using their own bars.

Does the above answer your question:

"really what is going on a flyjet, apparantly a flight went last night with another company operating and the flyjet crew just doing bar service. some answers are needed now!!!!!"
