It is and OPS are normally spot on regarding planning. Maybe something broke and all they had left was a B1.

Agreed, but to load it up? I cannot (fortunately) recall the B1 perf out of AGP, but could nowhere else in Spain be reached with a full load off 30/31?

Yes, that's why I find it a bit odd.

I can only think, now, that maybe something went pop during or after loading. Auto brakes or reverser possibly.

Apparently the Spanish have removed the exemption of the close in objects in the net flight path meaning that initial climb gradients are a lot higher than they used to be. This shouldn't/won't affect only Jet2 but everybody.

Not sure if it's only Malaga or everywhere.
