Probably from STN as will help with crewing. Really don't think LBA will be affected by this re W patterns

Also thinking about this, whilst the news has only recently broken, they must have been in discussion for some time which gives more scope for sourcing aircraft. Jet2 do usually, and I say usually, know what they are doing.

Depending on further deliveries of the A321 neos from Airbus there may not be a need to source additional aircraft from elsewhere.

No just having routine maintenance

Routine maintenance doesn't take that long….

Routine maintenance doesn't take that long….

Routine maintenance is not simply a car check.

There are so many different checks that are classed as routine maintenance with some taking days. None the less it's very routine.

And it is the wintet season so it not as if they are short of aircraft.

C Checks can take way over a month I believe. Must be in for that. Which is routine.

Considering that a 737 800 consists of hundreds of thousands of precision parts, many of which are under stress day in day out, it’s not difficult to understand why routine maintenance takes so long.

Both on C Check for 6 weeks

 

[Len Fish]

A C check must be an expensive business. Imagine having to take your car to the local dealership for a routine service that takes 6 weeks! The bill would be horrendous, it’s bad enough for even a minor service that only takes an hour!

 

[mullion]

There was a very good programme on TV and it included a full C check on a BA B747 which used to take upto 6 months to do

Not only that, they take the full thing to pieces and put it back together again. An aircraft after numerous C checks isn’t quite like Triggers’ mop, but it’s not far off!

Who still thinks starting an airline to make loads of money is a good idea?

I've never owned a Fiat so wouldn't dare comment.

I've never owned a Fiat so wouldn't dare comment.

Never had many issues with the fiat motors I've run over the years,

 

[White Heather]

Never had many issues with the fiat motors I've run over the years,

I had 9 Alfa Romeos, and very few issues, no breakdowns and never needed a C check either .

Back to Jet2 though.......
