Manchester: Jet2.com Route News & Base Updates

[Scottie Dog]

Forgive me if its already been mentioned (I did do a search).

The ex Air Livery hanger will become a new Jet2 hanger come 2026. For Airbus heavy maintenance.

Presumably the delay is due to the length of time required to make the hangar fit for purpose? I hear that there is a lot of work to be done, due to paint in every orifice after the previous user left.

It’s because none of the 321s will need the heavy maintenance until 3 years after entry into service, which would be 2026.
I believe the whole thing will be ripped out and refit inside.

Looks like G-VYGM has been AOG since 4th August at MAN and flights subbed on a 757 apart from yesterday when G-VYGK flew MAN - FAO, however it too looks to have gone AOG and a 737-800 flown to FAO to bring the pax back. I wonder if loads are low enough for the 757 to accommodate all PAX or if some are being put on alternative flights.

I doubt it.

Would suspect loads low enough to accommodate all on a 757 and the rest on other flights. Only saying that as before its been well documented on this forum they send a 75 and 737 together and they haven't done that this time.

Rare to see a B733 (G-GDFT) in MAN today, appears to be operating a charter to SOB, yes I had to Google it too!

Would you like to do a swap for one of your lovely A321Neos?

With all the changes, 757 going and no leasing in bar the A330s next summer do we have an idea of
what will be based at MAN from spring

From the current schedule, next summer requires the following 25x aircraft to be based:
8x B738s
2x A321s
13x A21Ns
2x A332x

Wow Boeings are getting rare now along with KLM starting on Airbus as well

 

[Seasider]

There will still be plenty of Ryanair B737s.

 

[mullion]

Sorry was really aimed at Jet2 but I slipped KLM in as the A321 are appearing in the schedule on a regular basis

G-HLYH is on its delivery flight and should with us soon at 21.38

I’m no expert but that seems to be an excessive application of brakes. You don’t usually see smoking like that.

Having looked at the comments, it seems the pilots evacuated the runway, so they were aiming to make the backtrack as short as possible.
