The Transavia Boeing 737-800, PH-HZA on lease to Jet2 positioned back to Amsterdam this afternoon as EXS42A.

But it looks like Jet2 are leasing in a Titan Airways Boeing 757 aircraft again tomorrow. As we have an EXS41R due to position in from London Stansted at 08:20 in the morning....

hi all
does any-body out there know why jet2 are leasing in so many aircraft this year?
have they got some of there own fleet with major tech problems
not enough aircraft to go around
some aircraft away on c or d checks
= ============== at the paint shops
it must be costing a small fortune leasing in

Certainly Philip Meeson report to the city on Thursday made bleak reading for those of us wishing to see higher passenger numbers at LBA.
He reported a doubling of customers to Jet2 holidays, 4% increase in profits but a very gloomy prediction of the airline business at the moment.
He stated this years figures seem to badly effected by the world cup and as we can see from the 20% price reduction, not a lot the airlines can do.
dart shares crashed 24% on the news.
We wondered why no increase in routes this year, they obviously knew things we did not.
I am sure Mr Meeson can still smile when he looks at Ryanair accounts, they would love to accept Jet2 figures. When you have to find an extra 300 million a year to cover the new aircraft as so much dearer, to the the purchase after 9/11, Jet2 aircraft policy must look very attractive now. M O L did a fantastic deal with Boeing late 2001, however, impossible to replicate 13 years after, chickens are coming home to roost big style.

Think you will find it was Air Bremen 329A and was Citationjet D-INOB

 

[Bigman]

That's great. Thanks for that.

Should add now the city have had time to digest Meesons comments the shares are bouncing back.

So it begs the question, is it VLM or Vueling turning up from Paris, given the VLG (vueling) code was used but Fokker 50 as aircraft type, which vueling dont have?
