I’m on about S27 sherburnflyer.

Hence why the few clues.

This summer was always 17 based units

LIS seems dependant on getting the required slots, 240 requested for S26 with 0 allocated and 176 requested for W26 with 54 allocated.

Don’t if mentioned but jet2 basing a 7th A21N for summer 2027

Is this confirmed? How so confirmed?

Things can change quickly in aviation as we've found out with Jet2 and the LGW launch. I would take that with a pinch of salt - if Jet2 can squeeze enough slots of out LGW for an extra 1 or 2 aircraft believe me they will. To the sacrifice of BHX or GLA or EDI.

MAN needs those A321Neos due to the A330's not coming back at all next summer therefore the capacity replacement is required.

W27/28 ski programme now on sale.

I'm hoping the Christmas markets aren't too far away as I'm aiming to visit Tallinn.

Visited Tallin 6/7 years ago the old town was very nice, the locals seemed friendly folk.

Our neighbours went to Tallinn last year and said how nice it was. Every year they go away with friends on a surprise trip - one couple books everything and the other couple has no idea where they are going until they turn up at the airport (although sometimes the required currency & clothing gives the game away). It’s a great idea as they have been to places - such as Tallinn - where they wouldn’t ever think of going.

Thanks both.

We were aiming to go this year but the last departure is Dec 21st and I didn't fancy coming back through FRA on Christmas Eve so we chose Vienna instead.

Did the Vienna Xmas markets a few years ago… absolutely stunning.

Looks like Saturdays are 17 based now.Looks like we’re 17 based all season as planned for 2027.

Few gaps left to fill

Jet2 are expecting at least 5/6 more deliveries from Airbus so more time to add more aircraft if they want

But Airbus's replacing 737s, just a net gain of 3 aircraft for S27

Also the A330 are supposed to be going from MAN and being replaced with A321s plus extra aircraft for Gatwick

Net gain for bhx or Jet2 because I think it’s 5/6 A21N this summer for Bhx however they jet2 have now had 3 deliveries

 

[Finger66]

There are 2 Boeing 737-300s to be retired at the end of S26 with the remaining 5 retired at the end of S27. That of course only affects LBA directly but indirectly affects elsewhere as they will be replaced with 800s displaced from other bases, so that is another contributing factor to the smaller overall net Jet2 fleet gain. It is also worth noting that some of the 2nd hand 800s are as old as the 300s so they will almost certainly start to be retired too before much longer again meaning the fleet doesn't grow by the same number as actual Airbus deliveries

3 net gain for Jet2 so BHX unchanged
