I really can't remember this happening before, but it looks like Jet2 are sending Boeing 737-300 G-GDFL out to operate the LS213/214 Leeds-Antalya-Leeds rotation tomorrow

It's either because the usual booked Boeing 737-800 is out of place having diverted today and maybe due to low bookings..

Bookings must have been lower or they wouldnt be able to accomodate them all on a -300. Im sure at this time of year they could have found a -800.

Must be due to low bookings, funny time of year this week, it's not quite Christmas, people busy shopping etc.
Nice to see the 300 doing a 4 hour flight.

I noticed that on FR24 earlier. They have used the 300s in the past on the Canary Islands routes but like you, I've not seen them heading to Turkey.

Way back I flew with Inter European on a 300 on the Paphos to LBA route, also a good 4 hour plus flight, so I guess the aircraft is fine for such distances.

 

[Len Fish]

The published range of a 300 is 2371-2733 miles depending on load. The flight distance from LBA to AYT is 1900 miles so well within the 300’s capability.

I remember flying to Cran Canaria in 1984 with Air Europe on a new 737-300 booked through Intasun Holidays who had a very big base on Grattan Road in Bradford.
