Do we know where the A330s will be flying in the winter? Aren't they "too much" of seating-capacity to fill them up in winter-time? Apart from the Canaries where else would they fly?
Perusing the schedules, i can only see TFS and ACE, but not every day.
Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but from Jan-Mar i don't see any use on Monday/ Wednesday, and no use Jan- Mid feb on Tuesday/ Thursday. Only in constand use on Friday to Sunday each week

is the Air Tanker lease by the hour?
In which case Jet2 will only pay for what they use

Then it depends on the lease terms and conditions, which could be anyone's guess outside of Jet2/ Air Tanker senior management

G-CELY Woes
In view of G-CELY's double autopilot failure on climb out at LBA on the 17th, I wonder if Jet2 will now have this near 33 year old aircraft at the top of its WFU list to avoid repeat embarrassment of the G-CELI debacle?
G-CELY did a few test (and training?) runs at NQY post-repair but has not yet returned to service.

Given the rate of B733 phaseouts, i would guess its more a case of when, rather than if. They'll want to get as much use out of it when it does come back into service, so my eyes would be the start of the winter season.
I'd also expect a couple more B733's to go as well. Likely candidates are
G-CELE - nearly 31y
G-GDFE - 31y
G-GDFB - 27y
The rest are only 20-22y, so they'd likely stick around a bit longer

From what I've seen it's CELE/Y first in OCT, then FE at the start of next year. I haven't heard anything about FB however obviously as mentioned, it is the next for the chop I'd presume.

On the topic of operational service, G-LSAB (B752) had been in ALC for 6 days, positioned into LBA last night under EXS052B.
Anyone know whats going on here? The B733's in the peak season could be managed but wouldn't want to be short of a B752, with all the extra seats it holds.
I know Jet2 carry 2 B752 standbys so short term hasn't /shouldn't be an issue, but hope they get whatever it is sorted out

If every 2 hour delay in the world was subject to scrutiny on a website it would need a pretty big server.

A NEW aircraft for Jet2 after 7 months in store and paint job, and it falls at the first hurdle is all I was thinking.
BTW - I am a long time Jet2 flyer usually ex-BHX and EMA and it IS my favourite airline.

Or got hit with a nasty slot due to the weather on its route/capacity and staffing of ATC providers. A 2 hour delay due to a slot at this time of year is very common.

And LS1503 STN-DLM Escorted back to STN by the RAF (!!) due to 'seriously disruptive passenger' (sez the BBC) - Was said Pax put up against the wall and shot? How did she get to board in the first place? Flight can't have been long out of STN at turnround so must have been in a 'state' at boarding. No?
