Innsbruck is a much better arrival point for most resorts, with the exception of Salzburgerland. It’s a shame both airports are not served.

I agree, one flight a week must be justifiable and if not MUC would do.

I present this evidence as pure anecdotal and I have no evidence to substantiate it..but on our return flight back to LBA last week, one of the cabin crew said the flight back from Fuerteventura was almost full but going out was completely full..Apparently a lot of winter flights out of LBA are high load factors this winter..but said that its in contrast to a lot of routes last summer, where the load factors were well below expectations..

Not scientific so don't shoot the messenger

I must admit I've had my eye off the ball on load factors for quite some time now. I'm just getting back into the analysis but have 2.5 years worth that I need to catch up on, and no longer do Jet2's on a flight by flight basis (that only being easyJet and Ryanair now). It sounds about right though

I swear I read in Jet2 annual reports once they was expecting a lower load factor but higher yield for previous years, doesn’t overly make sense to why you wouldn’t aim for 100% load factor considering ancillary sales but yes, hopefully they’re looking for stronger annual load factors for summer

I had a quick look at the CAA’s airline data. The 737-300 fleet (which is exclusively from LBA on scheduled services now?) had a 90% load factor in June and in August (the 2 months I looked at)
Company wide load factor for summer 25 was 88.2%, 1.6% lower than summer 24. But they’d added 1million more seats that needed filling.

They were, their policy is to get the best price for each seat sold which means the aircraft are less full. If they reduced their prices they would be likely to have better load factors, but overall yield is less.

They are not based at Yields Bradford Airport for nothing you know!

We had a full Pax load on this morning’s jet2 flight LS217 to Arrecife. including myself

Jet2 are doing something right.

 

[fozzy]

When I went to Lanzarote on Jan 26th the plane was nice and full and pretty much the same coming back on Thursday Feb 5th apart from maybe a couple of seats so definitely being fully utilised.

Doubt it, be the unoriginal, predictable MAN, BHX, STN

Lets hope it is included as an option from LBA as Kavala is a good jumping off point for the island of Thassos which is a lovely place to spend a week or two. Currently, as far as I know, it is poorly served from the UK.

Very poorly served from the uk

Bhx has only 1 weekly flight with tui so I think for certain bhx will be included

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

What is predictable is Jet2 sometimes start destinations from the bases that can absorb the new destination, have a large market. Unlike TUI though they will happily expand to other destinations and bases. So we may not see it this year or next. Or even the year after. But maybe one day we will.

 

[752]

There are quite a few Jet2 Greek destinations LBA have yet to absorb.. ATH, PVK, KLX, MJT, SMI, JTR (was dropped I know)

Be good to get another operate in competing / offering new destinations from LBA, ive noticed timings on a lot of flights to these destinations including Türkiye and Cyprus have awful arrival times back into LBA.

Don't forget, Gatwick is the new baby to nurture.

 

[airforced]

It is now many years ago that we went there on a Thomson (TUI) holiday, not that I currently recommenr a TUI holiday as they are the most unorganised bunch I have ever come across, I imagine from LGW as we were living on the south coast then. Loved everything about Thassos and if it has remained a low profile island I thoroughly recomend a visit especially if you are able to get there via Kavala.

ATH - Has gone from anyone can come when they want to very slot constrained.
PVK - Probably one on the list that could easily be served by Jet2 out of LBA.
KLX - Niche.
MJT - Niche.
SMI - NEW for Summer 26. Also niche.
JTR - Limited by hotel availability. Based on the fact Jet2 still serve JTR and increased frequencies from other bases one would imagine it didn't make the desired revenue from LBA. The airlines gone with the mentality that those in Yorkshire can travel to Manchester should they wish to travel to JTR with Jet2 or easyJet for that matter.

Any airline, if you look at journals, reports, listen to the people, says that a new route from a new base requires nurturing. Translation - it'll make a loss in its first year maybe even second year.

Now with limited stand availability at LBA without the room to expand with new aircraft (and therefore new routes and extra frequencies elsewhere) it's no wonder Jet2 haven't offered any of the above. If Jet2 can obtain another 2/3 based 800's (or A321NEO's) I wouldn't be surprised to see PVK on the summer list. ATH will be totally dependent on the slots that the airline can obtain down in Athens.

Jet2 have added a few extra flights for next few weeks during the Half term school holidays,

Tenerife = Increases from 11x to 12x weekly (Additional 3rd daily Sunday departure)
