Jet2 have leased G-POWI from Titan for this summer at Newcastle, supposedly it's covering for a 733 which has not been is condition as expected after purchase from last operator. It's a wet lease so the crews on it will be Titan too. It has been liveried though however extremely basic with white body below red lettering. Should be interesting to see if Jet2 also use this as a trial run for Airbus overall as so far they operate an all Boeing fleet of 733/QC/F , 738 and 752s!!!

I've always been fond of Jet2's operations, and as you say will certainly be interesting if this possibly results in any future orders with Airbus. I'd be very surprised if Jet2 weren't taking the opportunity to trial this during the lease.

The aircraft will have basic LS decals applied prior to entering service and will be crewed by Titan for the duration of the lease.

Why the quiet day on a Tuesday? Planes aint really my thing - so dont really understand the lack of apparent lack balance in their rotas.

One of my brothers loves them and is an active member of pprune.

Cost of slots seem to be higher at airports abroad on that day... sometimes an aircraft will not operate a single flight on that day.

Probably worth mentioning here that Jet2 have lost the contract to fly the Royal Mail Skynet route to Stansted, it will be operated by West Atlantic from January. They retained the East Midlands route.

Nice to see them fork out for some new machines. Presumably using up freed up slots on the NG production line before the MAX line is up and running properly.

I do wonder what will happen to the aircraft that run the Royal Mail contract overnight - this is a high value part of their business still which cannot be served with 737-800's. Unless they can work with Boeing to develop a QC version of the -800.

To be honest, I think the QC models will stick around, especially with them investing in glass cockpits for them, as I read somewhere. Some of their 757s are from the 1980's - I think these would be first to go.

The only other thing for LS to do if they wanted to up their cargo revenue is to invest in containerised aircraft, as per BA short haul fleet. Apparently that's why A321s are often rotated up to NCL if there's a big demand for cargo space (I've been on a few, but they were all full anyway!). With this order of 738's - it doesn't seem to be likely.
