Indeed, there is lots of discussion on the 300’s unreliability particularly FO, what is the reality??

 

[BCFC]

Oh I personally do hope you get FO to whisk you down to the Algarve. On time there & back then hopefully, but doubtful, you’ll about the 737-300’s and how unreliable they are! Do you have any stats to back this up? Are they really anymore unreliable than some of the 737-800’s LS operate?

Unfortunately I don't have access to all the records of the Jet2 fleet but I’ll see what I can find out in the next week or so. It only has to get us there as we are flying back with FR on a MAX.

Put it this way, the pilots always take a tin of jet engine oil and a bottle of hydraulic fluid with them when flying a 300.

 

[HX3]

of course they do Len…...

There’s lots of comments about reliability, with no evidence that they are any more unreliable.

I bet you’re relieved you’re flying back on a MAX then because they’ve never had ANY safety or tech issues since they were launched have they…..Oh, hang on a minute

Looking at the Dried Fruit site it looks as though four aircraft are DUE. A couplE of very interest ones too
G..JZCB A321NX
G.SUNX A321NX/LR
G.HLYO A321NX
G.HLYN A321NX/LR

Due? Into Leeds?

 

[mullion]

I doubt it as they will go to MAN for final fitting out and also note that two are eztra long range

No they are Long Range (LR) not Extra Long Range (XLR) are Jet2 going to dip their toes in over the pond? They have a range of 4000 nmi……MAN to MCO 3681 nmi, who knows?

They could be MSNs that were intended for other carriers but have since been reallocated to Jet2. I wouldn’t read anything into the LR variants as yet if indeed they are to be delivered.

Like @BCFC says, they appear to be LR and not XLR types.

They'll be taken from slots that are available. Maybe they have the rang but I very much doubt that they'll use them across the pond. A330 Neos for that one.

Always delivered into Manchester that has been the record if you look. Where they are put in to the hanger and then brought out into commercial service. Then before you know it they end up somewhere else - Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stansted, Birmingham or Luton.

But they don't own any A330’s just the leased ones from Air Tanker…why lease when you own one than can reach that Florida holiday destination. I remember MAN to SFB on an Air 2000 757 many many years ago with a splash and dash at Gander…it was absolutely fine.

I’m saying the 21 will not go Atlantic. The 330 will. That will be their choice.

I am fully aware they don’t have 330’s but it doesn’t mean they aren’t in the 321 contract or they are not planning for them. As they are.

 

[LsS27]

A further note on the Dried Fruit site says that most of the A321NXs have been updated to LR

 

[Severn]

The latest post on the ‘dried fruit forum’ reveals that another website, where the information was originally copied from, lists all future deliveries as A321-251NX/LR. This is because this website lacks specific type information until the aircraft are delivered, so it can only state that the aircraft are either NX/LR (same aircraft, but LR has extra fuel tanks) or an XLR (different aircraft altogether).

Other fleet websites simply list all future Jet2 deliveries as standard NX versions of the A321neo. These are the same as the ones they’ve already received, so there’s nothing to be excited about.

 

[BCFC]

Long Range may be a bit deceiving……..

The Airbus A321neo has a range of about 4,000 nautical miles, while the A321LR has the same advertised range but is specifically designed for long-haul missions with higher maximum takeoff weight and the option for auxiliary fuel tanks. The key difference is that the A321LR is built to carry the weight and fuel needed for these longer routes, while the standard A321neo's range is limited by its lower maximum takeoff weight.

A321XLR has a range of 4700 nautical miles.

 

[Len Fish]

It would appear only the LR and XLR are ETOPS certified due to their additional fuel capacity.

 

[garry8g]

The first A321neo to be based at Glasgow (G-SUNF), is due to fly in from Manchester about 10:30pm tonight.

G-GDFO not moved since its return flight from CDG on Monday….has it gone tech again?

Maybe Taking a rest seen as things have started to get quiet for winter.
