U know that’s a superb question and great idea for the route development team to assess.If I’m correct there were was rumours of a potential airline operating La palma.

I think the last time we had Corsica served was Flybe to Bastia?

Anyone else seeing 5x A321NEOs based for winter?

Yes looks like 5 A321neos for Birmingham this winter, the A321ceos appear to go back to Manchester

I seem to recall the majority of seats sold were for a specialist tour operator? Or am I getting mixed up with another route? Either way it operated for several years so I’d have thought there might be scope for at least a one weekly flight during the summer months.

Would love jet2 to serve Egypt and Murcia

Nice addition. I wouldn't be surprised to see more loco and IT operators use it in the future as an alternative to NAP.

Flight only prices look quite reasonable but the holidays section only has one choice of accommodation available at the moment. One to keep an eye on.

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

Good to see we have 6 new routes starting up for this winter and next summer
Salerno 1 weekly
Jerez 1 weekly
Porto 2 weekly
Pula 2 weekly
Marrakesh 2 weekly
Agadir 2 weekly

Total of 10 weekly flights

I’ll share my views and thoughts for summer 2025 later today or tomorrow

Let me know your thoughts

Jet2 have repeatedly said they are not interested in long haul and even if they did it almost certainly would be from MAN, any A330s they used are leased from Air Tanker.

Jet2 have created a excellent place in the market........ if it ain't broke don't fix it in my view.

 

[LBA787]

A330’s are leased and there are no immediate plans for LH.

So your saying they wouldn’t enter the Egyptian,Tunisian or Cape Verde market?

Those destinations are not LH

Egypt and Cape Verde are (Midhaul)
Tunisia (Shorthaul)

Predictions based on what ?

Predictions based on what ?

Expansion.
Feel free to read

 

[HPsauce]

Jet2 are doing fine with their gradual expansion southwards. They will not enter the risky Long Haul market for the foreseeable.
Laker Airways expanded too fast and was destroyed by BA in particular all those years ago.
Get all your bricks in place before reaching too far!.
