Gatwick will be the 14th base

6 A321 NEO’s.

Looks like those “all A321NEO” bases in Scotland will be pushed back until later on in the decade.

Six aircraft 5 brand new NEO. Some of the Scottish pilots have had their TR deferred, presumably because they were going to announce this!

Suspect that will be it for quite a while for Jet2!

Sshh, don't say that! DSA fans think they're going there. Don't want to disappoint them.

Will it be all 737-300 base ?

 

[mullion]

No at least 5 A321neo

Na, that remains LBAs exclusive pleasure.

 

[Finger66]

Does LGW opening have any "consequences" for LBA at least, with retention of B733s?

Did we ever get a definitive answer if 1 was leaving the fleet this winter and has that now changed?

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

Judging by what they’ve said. No.

It looks like the ACMI’s will come back, to allow for the A321 to head south into LGW (STN may have titan back for example) but I would say no hampering to the B737-300. They’ll be out before we know it.

 

[Finger66]

Going to hold you to that @Sherburnflyer92

Word on the street is that they might be looking at smaller Airbuses (used) to replace the 733's. Advantages being fleet commonality and low aquisition costs similar to the OG 733's, it worked then, it would work now.

I wish…..get rid once and for all…they have already paid for themselves but not doing LBA passengers any favours. So unreliable but the old 800s seem pretty good.

On our way to Faro, we boarded an old 737 classic this afternoon (FL). 5 mins before takeoff, the captain informed us of an electrical fault and said we all had to disembark and board another aircraft, we are currently sat on (FG), waiting for everyone to board… nightmare. We walked from gate 2 to gate 11 so time for a swift one.
Never again will I book a flight on one of these old piles of s***e.

I fully boarded an 800 last week and then had to kick everyone back into the terminal and swap to a spare one parked on the next stand. It happens to the 800s too!

GDFO was in maintenance for an engine change, so hopefully that’s the last of its recent woes!

And the NEOs, I think because people on these internet forums are aware of the aircraft’s age there’s perhaps a little confirmation bias at play. In the case of most passengers who probably have no aviation interest/knowledge I doubt they’d know the difference.

Hopefully that is the case….. let's see.

LS251 (GDFO) LBA-FAO was diverted to SVQ this morning, probably the rain, most of the others seemed to have got in.
It's going to be a long old day for the returning passengers as its not due to leave SVQ until 14:20 then it's going to FAO to pick up the passengers then it's going back to LBA…

Surprised it didn't go to Jerez.

My brother is on the outbound Faro flight operated by G-GDFL, gone tech and back to the stand for a spare. The troublesome 300’s continue

Cold starts, if they give it a 2nd try it might kick into life

And will continue to be troublesome. Jet2 are doing themselves no favours with these.
