Yes have noticed that Paphos seems to be a bigger market nowdays

Not a question of size. The east coast resorts have always closed down during winter with only the odd hotel here and there open. In Protaras even MacDonalds closes!
On the west coast including Paphos far more facilities remain open although not all.

[DarloPlaneBoy]

I noticed OM-JEX which Jet2 have on lease is former Ryanair EI-CSS, I love this time of year seeing random airlines with 737's or white planes flying into Birmingham. Makes it interesting for me to guess what the airline is when they fly over me

 

[BhxJack]

Have jet2 based a 3 a321 neo due to the 3rd normal a321 having work done at man

 

[Mackadown spotter]

That’s interesting. Is this some cruise ship tie in? Cadiz is a nice city, and with Huelva is/was the port for going to Canaries and numerous other places.

Nope Cadiz is really a port of call for ships entering or leaving the Med or heading to/from the Canaries.
Cadiz itself is a fine city with great history and a great entry point for southern Spain.

Jerez looks good for Cadiz.

Not been there but there is a lot of interesting history.

It's also where the "Cuba" scenes were filmed in the James Bond film "Die Another Day".

 

[Mackadown spotter]

Correct me from wrong but are we due to have 5 A321neos next summer?

[Nethercote2019]

according to Jethro the Jet2 Airbus order is no longer for the 320 just the 321,more seats for more bases in future ?

 

[thunderchild]

Is there any specific reason why Jet2 don’t serve Corsica? Considering they fly to every other major Mediterranean island it seems a bit odd they don’t operate there.

 

[gulftraveller]

Interesting question. Corsica has never been a major destination from UK. It is not a beer and sunbathing place. Much of the island is wild mountains. It is a major destination for French tourists and Germans to a lesser extent and I doubt there is the capacity for mass UK tourism. It is also expensive.

Easyjet operate from LGW to Bastia, Figari and Calvi whilst BA serve Figari and Calvi. Flights from MAN did not survive covid.
