Reported by Scottie Dog on the MAN forum that Jet2 have cancelled 28 A321 slots at MAN so maybe a nice capacity increase on the way but then again this is BHX so fingers crossed.

No that wasn't Jet2 that was smartlynx. Was supposed to be for dnata travel who have canx plans to start up their own airline.

Sorry, just assumption that as been reported here three A321s maybe replacing 737s that it was Jet2 slots cancelled, either way potential nice capacity increase possible for Jet2 and BHX.

Many thanks Llandudno for covering my backside there! Rollo, one always has to be careful of assuming anything in the complicated world of aviation.

Anyway, a happy New Year to one and all.

All booked forum and going for 9 nights this year, Jet2 Holidays was cheaper than just booking flights with them and accommodation through Travel Republic which is the way I normally do it.

So the whole Jet2 operation has my business this year. Interestingly it looks like I will be going on the x 2 different types of A321 as discussed last week as the back row seats which I always book are different on the outbound/inbound.

The countdown begins

Another trip report coming soon as I travelled on the Jet2 737-800 last year.

Another trip report to look forward to

Will you be treating us with some video footage this year?

I certainly will mate and I will be treating myself to one of those Go Pro cameras in the next few weeks so I can stick the camera onto the window just like the professionals do, he he he.

On my past video's I held the camera all the way on landing, lets just say I couldn't move afterwards as I was stuck in the position for a few minutes and my back really hurt. Silly me

[davecleaver777]

Strange how Jet 2 have ambitions and it works. Not far off our biggest airline. Didn't start BHX till 2016 Now over 200 flights per week...... why can't any other airline see this !!!!!!! We must be the most frustrating airport in world. I except the Monarch and Thomas Cook denise but..... thank you Jet 2 add 5 daily alicante for all I care lol

 

[andrew.clarkson]

Hi there Ray and all, so who would you say is the largest airline operating out of Birmingham Airport.. Andyc

 

[Matt995]

Hi there Ray and all, so who would you say is the largest airline operating out of Birmingham Airport.. Andyc

depends what you class as 'largest' - The largest well know airline has to be Emirates, The largest airline by movements/arrivals/departures has to be Flybe, by passenger numbers, most likely Ryanair and then Jet 2

So with the 14th Based Aircraft now having been uploaded on to the website, and assuming there is not more left to come (although this is Jet2 so never say never) here is the complete list of additional flights uploaded today!

14th Based Unit = 13x Weekly additional flights for Summer’20 to:

• BJV = 3x Weekly (up 1x Weekly)
• CFU = 6x Weekly (up 2x Weekly)
• DLM = 9x Weekly (up 1x Weekly)
• FUE = 5x Weekly (up 1x Weekly)
• IBZ = 9x Weekly (up 2x Weekly)
• KGS = 4x Weekly (up 1x Weekly)
• RHO = 6x Weekly (up 2x Weekly)
• JSI = 2x Weekly (up 1x Weekly)
• TFS = 13x Weekly (up 1x Weekly)
• ZTH = 5x Weekly (up 1x Weekly)

For the Summer Peak Week of 10th August 2020, Jet2 will not operate 206 flights / 412 ATMs to 50 destinations can providing circa 83,500 seats!!! that's an increase of nearly 20,000 seat on 2019 and an increase of 31.2%

 

[nwoody2001]

In terms of the largest airline in BHX history...

Largest Global Scale = Emirates
Largest Base (Aircraft) = Joint Jet2/Flybe (14 based units at peak???)
Largest Base (ATMs) = Certainly Flybe (782 ATMs a week in 2017 ....was this the peak???)
Largest Base (Seat) = Certainly Jet2 this year (83,224 weekly seats I calculate)

Jet2 is certainly close to being BHX's biggest airline in its history?

Impressive that growth to Turkey. Think that the two DLM Thursday has always been two.
