On a positive note for Jet2 recently been to Jersey and back. Both flights were early. The saturday flight out looked full and the tuesday inbound probably had a max of 20 spare seats. Good friendly on board service and no problems at all with LV on the outbound and FN inbound
 
I see G-LSAI launched at noon to PMI and is now back on UK soil in EMA, suggesting the morning departure from EMA had a wobble down in PMI on arrival. G-DRTC according to flightradar so one of the recent Air China / Transaero acquisitions.

Clearly not a quick fix for Jet2 to have launched a rescue flight as they won't beat the 3 hour late rule so no doubt some EU compo claims going in. Probably from the same people who moan about holiday prices going up year on year lol.
 
It's been a good year for Dart Group, owner of Jet2...

Not sure about Ibiza for easter, the island only wakes up the first week in June.
In addition the new rules on music licences, tourist tax have seen a significant reduction in tourist numbers so far this summer season. Growth in u.k. tourist numbers for 2017 was half that of the previous year, the third year in a row of falling growth. The doubling of the tourist tax for 2018, has already had a profound effect on this years numbers.
Hotels this week end started to offer reductions of up to 40% on currant prices to try to encourage more tourists, however, u.k. weather and for youngsters the huge curtailment of club opening hours has had a huge effect
Whilst I love Ibiza at Easter, the major resorts are dead, the main season used to start the third week in May and the club openings the first week in June, now its June before the season in full swing, now ending end of september, rather then mid october.
 
Anybody know why this mornings Jet2 LS202 from Amsterdam was made to circle over Leeds to allow the BA flight from Heathrow to land first. Looking at flightradar the BA flight would have been a good five minutes behind the Jet2 flight yet was given priority making LS202 circle and then come in for another approach and landing.

Jet2 G-LSAA at Palma, by Aviador, Hosted here on Forums4airports!

And here she is.... I had the privileged of flying on her a couple of years back. You couldn't tell she was nearly 30!
 
Am I right in saying that unlike, say, easyJet and Ryanair that often use their aircraft for six sectors and sometimes eight a day, Jet2 tends mainly to focus on four a day?
