G-TCDH ex Thomas Cook. Was this not one of the original batch that were cancelled?

G-TCDD & G-TCDH are both due to Jet2 this month. These are two that they were unable to get out of the leasing contract easily, so they are joining the fleet.

Some shocking delays on the JET2 Greece flights yesterday, was this due to strikes, any ideas?

More then likely yes. Given they have monopoly over holiday destinations from U.K. anyway, not sure on others, yes. And they seem to be making an impact.

There was a Greek ATC strike on 15th but didn't see anything about yesterday although wouldn't surprise me if another one

And their Funchal flight diverted to Faro yesterday due to X-winds.

Will be interesting to see the load factors on the Greek Islands flights as the summer season comes to a close in early November. I do suppose Jet2 are offering a chance to customers for a quick getaway before the winter months kick in as I'm sure most people are keen to go on holiday after the year we've had.

Other than Crete, Rhodes and possibly Kos the summer season has ended. There probably will be about 50% of tourist facilities still operating in certain parts of Crete until the end of November but only in places that have a year round population. That doesn't include the parts that Jet2 generally cater for. The vast majoority of tourists (and therefore the facilities that go with them) will have left at the end of October only to return in May next year.

I’ve been informed a deal has been done with Murcia Corvera (AENA) for the storage of a large amount of the fleet for the winter.

Not sure on exact frames or types but looks to be up to 30-40 making the journey.

I can only guess the older 300’s are a definite in that figure.

A pity they couldn't have picked a UK airport but I suspect the weather may have something to do with it.

that makes sense as that part of spain is usually the mildest and driest during winter

All 737-300’s
Probably all 757-200’s
Will it be newer or older 737-800 models?
And as it’s now the season - a partridge in a pear tree

Saves turning a those aircraft into wind every time we have a gale blowing from the 'wrong direction' and back again when the wind direction changes.

 

[LBA4EVER]

Just think what LBA could do with all that space, maybe build a new terminal!

 

[LBAYORKIE]

Could also do with the parking fees.

 

[pilot_ben]

It’s my understanding that LBA will have 20 738s parked for the winter! Cheaper (possibly even free) than most of the other bases.

 

[Wardair166]

So basically occupying 20 out of 22 stands. That's what I call a monopoly!!

See the Canaries have been re-instated as a safe destination with no quarantine requirements on return so that should help a bit. Fights recommence 30 October.
