There's me thinking you was on about landing runway 14 at LBA!
And I'll eventually wake up today at some point.

There's me thinking you was on about landing runway 14 at LBA!
In the past Dan Air flew 1-11 500s and even the odd 727 into Jersey. The 1-11 in particular had very poor airfield performance. If that could do it, I am sure a 737 800 can. If it couldn't safety operate, Jet2 wouldn't be using it.The problem is not necessarily the length of the route. It's the performance given other factors; a cliff on one edge of the runway, the weather, the ILS system (Cat 1) etc.
Jet2 wouldn't be using it.
Wizz air have announced new routes to JER from DSA and CWL and its presumed that an A321 would be used. So if that’s the case there will be no issue with Jet2 using the 737-800 thereor they limit the amount of seats?
I would have far preferred it if it was heading home to Leeds!Boeing 757 G-LSAE(Channex 030E) has just departed Murcia(1308), heading home to Manchester following 7 months in storage
Only the 100 series 727 I believe ! The 200 series were performance compromised.In the past Dan Air flew 1-11 500s and even the odd 727 into Jersey.

Yes, the 100. One turned up on the LBA- JER route once. I even got a photo of it departing.Only the 100 series 727 I believe ! The 200 series were performance compromised.
And the 1-11 300 and 1-11 500, and Viscount 700 in the 70s.Dan-Air also operated the HS748, BAE 146 and 737-200 on the LBA-JER route back in the day.
I was checking a few clips on youtube of aircraft dep jersey, certainly no room for error and there is a big drop at the end of the runway!This is exactly it @LBA4EVER. Everything things getting back to UK is a problem with full load; quite the opposite. No problem.
The problem is the landing distance available and what not. That is what is more problematic. An A320 can do it fine; a 737-800 maybe able to (given it doesn't float which it is known to do). An A321 will probably have to slam all on soon as the wheels touch the ground.
It was mentioned on this morning's news that they are considering lifting the quarantine requirement for double jabbed arrivals from amber list countries. That should enable flights to start at least to a degree. The problem remains families. If kids are not jabbed, what then?There are multiple reports of double jabbed adults being able to travel to Amber countries as if they were green - an announcement in due course (apparently) - will this be enough for Jet2 to restart ops?

Only 1 week to go now until Jet2 are back in the air from Leeds/Bradford to Jersey 3x weekly.
