So will it be time for simulation time at Bradford?It’s been fantastic flying people back on repat flights the past few days, so many loyal customers all giving best wishes and routing for Jet2 to come back stronger!
And that we will!
We’ve been flying back our own package customers, flight only customers who have had extended stay’s cut short and also many many ex pats who have chosen to come back to the UK. We’ve also brought back many people who have had their flights cancelled by other airlines. (One couple telling me they purchased an FR ticket but they were 2 of 300 that had tickets on a 189 seater aircraft - Ryanair at its best - and unfortunately they arrived after the first 189 so we’re shown the exit door!!! )
With the exception of training flights and positioners, that’s it until May 1st at the very least and a date subject to change. The company have a very strong balance sheet, and have acted upon cancelling leases to protect our own interests. 2 330s cancelled, Air Europa, Titan, Hi Fly too. The owner was in the airport last week and told us we are now looking at all the opportunities that are going to present themselves to us (NAS airframes) and was very positive.
In the down time maintenance will be completed ahead of schedule and all in house too, saving on expensive external work.
As said previously LY & AD will go to Kemble this week.
Stay safe!
