Excellent information as usual lbaspotter.
So how does that leave us overall seat wise ! an increase or decrease over this years program as a result of the only larger aircraft type we have had on a regular basis in the form of the B757 disappears to pastures new.
 
Not according to Statto !
His analysis proves us wrong on that assumption even though it seems to be the only airline we see and with the Ryanair reductions this will be more the case.
Hope the massive news we are waiting for is not the snippets we have heard so far and it really is massive.
 
I am curious at to what the base strength will be at all their bases next year. Presumably, Manny will still be biggest, but I am guessing that Stansted must be pretty big now??
 
God forbid but if the sh*t hit the fan LBA would be well and truly.....let you all fill that last bit in.
We are really a one airline airport....
It should be remembered that Jet2 is basically two companies in one, a seat only carrier and a holiday company.
Last year if I remember rightly the cross over happened and they carried more holiday passengers then seat only.
Should say the holiday side go down, I am sure another operator would jump in for the seat only side.
If MOL is right only two main european operators will be flying in 5 years time, so every airport will have all their eggs in very few baskets.

Biggest base can be measured in so many different ways:
  1. Aircraft Size
  2. Seats
  3. Destinations Served
  4. Weekly Frequencies
And a number of other ways - which aviation experts/people within the airlines around the world measure too.

My alter-ego keeps track of Jet2 and its growth since 2016 (deleted 2016 as the document become too big). This has been edited and reflects some of the latest additions however a full cross check will probably happen in March time when the airline has added any further flights. Here is the league table of the different ways to measure:

Destinations Served (Total of 56):
  1. MAN – 53
  2. LBA – 49
  3. BHX – 48
  4. STN – 44
  5. EMA – 36
  6. GLA – 33
  7. EDI – 34
  8. NCL – 32
  9. BFS – 24
Weekly Frequencies:

  1. MAN – 292
  2. LBA – 240
  3. STN – 207
  4. BHX – 191
  5. EMA – 111
  6. NCL – 98
  7. GLA – 96
  8. EDI – 82
  9. BFS – 55
PMI – 125 – An idea of how big PMI is to Jet2.

I am expecting S20 is not fully released yet and more will be added in due course. But just thought I would give you an idea.

For those that moan about LBA and not getting new destinations for S20 etc. we are still 2nd place in both them leagues for S20. For now.
 
If you add the weekly frequencies of close airports together; Jet2 prove that you dont need to sacrifice one to feed the other:

MAN/LBA - 530
BHX/EMA - 302
GLA/EDI - 178

Granted, LBA/MAN/GLA/EDI/EMA were prior to the expansion south and into BHX but it just shows that they won't/have not given up and cut back at EMA.
 
I note that MAN sees 290 weekly frequencies each week. What is the base size at MAN?

The reason I ask is that at my local airport, BRS, easyJet with 17 based aircraft operates over 370 departures per week, with probably about a dozen of them by away-based aircraft.

Although there is no local Jet2 operation near me, the closest being at BHX, I'd gained the feeling that Jet2 doesn't utilise its aircraft quite as intensively as, say, easyJet or Ryanair in terms of the number of flights each aircraft operates per week/month/year.
 
Not sure of the size yet; yet to be confirmed. What i do know @TheLocalYokel is that Jet2 do use the PMI/ALC based aircraft to operate flights in reverse thus freeing up based units to go elsewhere. They do operate LRH/EGC out of MAN, i suspect it did them rotations (S19) and does them next year (S20) and then maybe go somewhere like IBZ, AGP, FAO?

The last actual reference to base size that I've seen was in the S19 start of season ACL report and that was 19. There is no reference to aircraft numbers in the W19 reports - just increases in available seats.

MAN is also 17 based, but It's worth pointing out that MAN has a number of longer sector days than BRS. The latter also has a number of domestic routes to which MAN has just 2 (BFS/JER) and that can push up utilisation too.

MAN only has 2 routes that operate with away based flights. One is Milan which runs solely on a MXP based aircraft, and BFS has a couple of BFS based flights a week. The rest of the schedule works entirely off a MAN based fleet.

I have not got time to Look at routes at present ( decorating ) but I would think more of Jet2 flights are long than Easyjet

Hi Llandudno

Good input on the easyJet utilisation but I thought the question was with regards to Jet2 versus the EZY use at BRS? Do you have info on Jet2?

Thanks in advance.
What I was really trying to establish is the Jet2 aircraft usage per aircraft per day in terms of sectors flown.

At my local airport (BRS) easyJet typically operates six sectors per day per aircraft, sometimes eight with some aircraft, whereas TUI operates mainly four sectors per day per aircraft. Because Jet2 seems to be increasingly a holiday airline - perhaps more akin to TUI than to easyJet in some ways, although the latter has its own plans in this field - I wondered if Jet2 operates a lot of four sector per aircraft days.

I thought that, if I could establish a correlation between easyJet at BRS and Jet2 at MAN, it would at least be an example, if not a defining one.

On reflection LBA would have been a better choice than MAN for my query because BRS is much closer to LBA in overall passenger volume than it is to MAN, and anyway this is the LBA Jet2 thread. If any LBA followers have any ideas on the subject I would be interested to read them.
 
What I was really trying to establish is the Jet2 aircraft usage per aircraft per day in terms of sectors flown.
I believe it's 2 departures a day generally with many aircraft doing less on Wednesdays. So essentially very similar utilisation to Thomas Cook and TUI.

The following information is taken from a Monday in August-19. Here are a few comparisons regarding aircraft based and usage:
(Note, aircraft based represent the number of aircraft required for the schedule. This number doesn't include any spare aircraft based)

easyJet

MAN
- 17x based aircraft (3x A319, 14x A320) - average departures per day = 2.6
The A319s each operated 3-departures a day, 7x A320s operated 2-departures and 7x A320s operated 3-departures.
This meant that there was an average of 2.6 departures per day on each aircraft.

BRS - 17x based aircraft (7x A319, 10x A320) - average departures per day = 3.2.
The A319s each operated 3 or 4-departures, The A320s operated 2, 3 or 4-departures.
This meant that there was an average of 3.2 departures per day on each aircraft.

There are a number of reasons BRS aircraft operated more departures per day than the MAN aircraft.
One reason is that with a lot of destinations in Southern Europe, and Manchester being further North than BRS, the flight times from MAN are longer. For example, BRS-PMI-BRS takes an aircraft just an aircraft just over 5 hours to complete, but an aircraft based in MAN operating MAN-PMI-MAN takes 6 hours. These flights operate at the same time of the day too so take the times take into account how long they are on the ground at there destination for. MAN-FAO-MAN takes 7hrs 5 mins whereas BRS-FAO-BRS at the same time of the day takes 5hrs 50mins.


Another reason is to with the large number of short domestic routes that easyJet operate from BRS compared to MAN.
BRS aircraft operate 15x domestic flights on a Monday (
4x BFS, 4x GLA, 3x EDI, 2x NCL,1x INV, 1x IOM) whereas MAN aircraft only operate 4x domestic flights (3x BFS, 1x JER) with the rest of it's flights being significantly longer.


Jet2

MAN - 19
x based aircraft (11x B738, 6x B752, 2x A332) - average departures per day = 1.95 (Note, aircraft based represent the number of aircraft required for the schedule, so doesn't include any spare aircraft based)
Each aircraft operated 2x departures per day, except for 1x B752 which only operated 1x departure.
This meant that there was an average of 1.95 departures per day on each aircraft.

Jet2 has lower number of departures per day than easyJet mainly due the to longer routes operated. Aircraft operate 2x departures a day at all Jet2 bases, every day except Wednesdays where there is less flying.
MAN does have 1x aircraft on a Sat that operates 3x departures a day (due to the short length of flight to LRH and EGC in France).
LBA is the only base where 1x or 2x aircraft (usually the B733) operate 3x departures each day. This is due to LBA having a larger number of shorter routes (JER, AMS, CDG, LRH etc).

9 trips in 9 days done 70 miles walked and over 23-00 photos taken with a large number taken at 20mph or above. Heavy rain on 1 day only
5 trips done and 45 miles walked,. Also the RAF has had 4 F35B Lightning follow me yesterday and today....
My plans got altered slightly as one of the minibus companies had to cancel 3 trips and refunded me but will be getting nice discount when I rebook them.
wondering why on my "holidays" I choose to get up 2 hours earlier than when going to work. 6 trips in 6 days soon coming up with 3 more days to sort out
