Another one bites the dust
She's worn the rose for a number of years, and now stripped bare, she leaves a cold Yorkshire for the slightly sunnier climb of Gloucestershire 
. G-CELB, or more commonly known, Jet2Yorkshire took to the skies for the final time a week ago today, bound for her final place of rest in the Cotswolds.

She is the second of the three 'special liveries', leaving just Jet2manchester (recently fitted with winglets) in the fleet.

Thanks for the video!
According to Jethro’s the three B733s have now departed G-CELB, G-CELC and G-CELD. The replacement B738s have yet to arrive.
In the Interim report from the Dart Group it is stated that, “our expanding Leisure Travel business invests in additional aircraft, advertising and people in readiness for the summer 2016 season.” The estimate is a 10% increase in carrying capacity for summer 2016. Considering that the 30 new B738s ordered directly from Boeing are not arriving until September 2016 and after the main part of the summer season has passed, it would be reasonable to expect that additional aircraft will be acquired for Summer 2016 during this winter period. There are about 40 B738s that are described as being “Stored” worldwide, many of which are probably looking for a new home, so that there wouldn’t appear to be any shortage of aircraft and possibly bargains to be had.
JET2 had a fleet of 60 aircraft last summer of which two were wet leased. If the projected 10% increase in carrying capacity is correct and booking indications hold out well, then JET2 will need to acquire 8 B738s to add to their present fleet of 58 aircraft and/or wet lease from other companies, as they did last year.

G-JZHD
As you many know, ex. Transaero G-JZHD is currently the youngest a/c in the Jet2 fleet. It is (was) the only G-JZH* a/c not equipped with winglets which made no sense to me. However, an image posted recently on Jetphotos seems to suggest otherwise, despite it not being stated anywhere, even on Jethros! Take a look <insert confused face>

Anyone know if any of the new or newer Boeing fleet will be out of Newcastle around July this year? Booked our second holiday (this time to Crete) with J2 after the success of last years trip to Viareggio with them.
Thanks.

Shows as a 73H on the timetable, an 800 I believe.

73H is the aircraft code for a 737-800 with winglets, 738 is without winglets.
Think all Jet2s 737-800s have winglets as the majority of them in airline service do, with the exception of SAS which have a considerable number of -800s without.
Hope that helps
Regards

Another B738 joins the fleet today for the summer, leased from Primera Air (OYPSA) based at Manchester.
Is there still a B738 to come from Air Europa to be based in Glasgow?
No word on when GJZHE, GJZHG & GJZHH will enter service?

GJZHE:
According to FR24, GJZHE flew over 2 hours on tests from and to Norwich on 20 April and then was flown from Norwich to Bournemouth on 21 April. It would appear that it is being prepared to enter service fairly soon.
GJZHG and GJZHH:
The only recorded information to be found at present on the above airframes is that they continue to be stored at Budapest. With the summer 2016 season about to start and the recent leasing of a B738 from Primera Air, maybe the arrangement to purchase GJZHG and GJZHH has fallen through. Just my thoughts, no inside information.... GJZHG and GJZHH are owned by an Irish leasing company and were operated by Transaero, the bankrupt Russian airline that has ceased operations during 2 and a half years. Previously they were operated by Air Europa.

GJZHG flew Budapest into East Midlands on 11th Feb, and was painted in Jet2 Colours, then flew to Leeds on 25th Feb.
GJZHH flew Budapest into Norwich on 11th Feb.
If they are both in the country, I would imagine that they are due to enter service soon.....especially if one has been painted into Jet2 livery.

Tried all sorts but couldn't find anything on G or H. As you say that both airframes are here in the UK, it shouldn't be long before they join the fleet, as summer flying starts in earnest next month of May.

JET2 FLEET DISTRIBUTION:
Individual aircraft can and do move around but more or less here is an attempt at the most likely distribution and obviously is open to corrections.
B733 fleet:
4 at Leeds Bradford
9 at Manchester
4 at Edinburgh
4 at Belfast
3 at Newcastle
2 at East Midlands
G-CELH no data found
B738 fleet:
6 at Glasgow
4 at newcastle
4 at East Midlands
2 at Leeds Bradford
2 at Manchester
1 at Edinburgh
G-JZHG and G-JZHH awaiting to join the fleet
B752 fleet:
6 at Leeds Bradford
3 at Manchester
G-LSAE and G-LSAK no data found
1 TITAN B752 at Leeds Bradford
1 TiTAN Airbus321 at Manchester
1 PRIMERA Scandinava B738 at Manchester
Question for someone who may be in the know, what about the aircraft at the Alicante base, as the list above seems to account for the entire fleet and the extra leased aircraft for the summer?

Is Glasgow not due to get an Air Europa B738 as it's 6th aircraft?
Also, on analysis of Edinburgh destinations(by day & route) and seating charts for flights, it looks like a second B738 will be based there from the end of June 2016. On every day except a Tuesday & a Thursday, there is a requirement for 2 B738 due to flight distances, which a B733W would not manage without a fuel stop.
