08:00 - G-GDFM to Newcastle as EXS077C
10;30 - G-GDFK to Bournemouth as EXS014C
11:30 - G-GDFT to Belfast Int’l as EXS097C

Is that an increase on the same time last year?

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

I'd say pretty much similar to last year - maybe Funchal has doubled.

Be interesting once the A321's are in play at LBA what happens to them over the festive period and the capacity increase in terms of numbers over flights a week.

 

[Finger66]

Don't start that old chestnut again @Sherburnflyer92 lol. We will never hear the last of it

 

[mullion]

Most of the A321s are flying on a reduced level but the winter schedule is much higher in the last couple of years. There are 6 out of MAN today probably 4 or 5 at BHX and 1 has been at LGW

Says it all that the winter seasonal charter base at London Gatwick gets the A321Neo based in service before we do at Leeds.

Well somewhere has to have the old bangers and our airport Loves Banger Aircraft.

I think Jet2 know what they are doing, they know the A321 flights from Manchester/Birmingham will be filled, and make a good profit, the Gatwick charter flights I think are mainly for P&O, or Santa flights, so also make good money for them.

They won't put the A321s into Leeds/Bradford, as they know they will not be able to fill the seats, and make enough profit currently, hence the reason you only get the B733s and B738s, thats good business sense by them, one of the reasons they do well financially, we certainly don't want to see them follow the Monarch or Flybe business model!

 

[Jerry]

They won't put the A321s into Leeds/Bradford, as they know they will not be able to fill the seats,

On certain routes they would though. Mainland Spain especially and the Canary islands. They obviously have their reasons for not having A321s at Leeds though, it might be a more operational one though.

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

They won't put the A321s into Leeds/Bradford, as they know they will not be able to fill the seats,

This is a completely inaccurate statement. When the B757's where based at LBA, 3 and at times 4, they were filled day in day out without fail - no matter the route. When the B757's went down to FNC out of LBA they were consistently loaded with 200+ pax.

Even in the heart of winter on a January Tuesday the B757 would be 90% loaded consistently. Jet2 and LBA know that the A321's will, like the B757, be regularly full leaving LBA.

Says it all that the winter seasonal charter base at London Gatwick gets the A321Neo based in service before we do at Leeds.

The difference is however I believe the charterer is one who requests the aircraft type. Don't think the A321 is sticking around too much longer after the demand for Santa flights drops of a cliff.

 

[mullion]

The thing about B757 is they are vastly over powered and need only a short runway for most
destinations, shame they are going as they are probably one of the best Boeing aircraft ever built

LGW ops are nothing to do with Jet2 in terms for capacity etc, its the charterer which obviously are requesting bigger AC then an -800. if they required/requested a -300 in LGW they would get it. In fact a -300 did a LGW-KRK charter this year. Jet2 themselves sell zero seats from LGW. Silly statement.

if someone wanted to charter a 321 NEO out of LBA and paid the correct brass. You would get it.

As Sherburnflyer stated.. 757 regularly filled from LBA in winter. if they couldn't fill the aircraft why on earth are there over 14 based and an extra one announced for S25
