Birmingham: Jet2.com Flights, New Routes & Base Updates

[Karl C]

With Jet2 opening Luton with a five aircraft base from the get go, hopefully this will put a rocket up EasyJet's backside at BHX. Very happy they're at BHX, but it's very piecemeal and a bit slapdash i.e. this winter has no Lanzarote or Gran Canaria which are winter staples for any UK airline. BHX does not need any more leakage and/or a reason for passengers to go from another UK gateway There's gonna be a bloodbath somewhere....and I hope it's not at BHX 🙏

Seems its been downgraded to a 2x aircraft base from the start... not quite a big as initially thought.

Five was quite ambitious especially with the lack of ramp space at Luton

2 A321neo's to be based at LTN, with a few extra B738 flights on a "W" pattern from its other bases

Jet2 seem to be expanding fast.
A great deal of advertising their East Midlands routes on local radio in Birmingham!. Let's hope the BHX routes don't get diluted eventually.

I don’t think two A321s based at LTN should effect BHX too much and the lack of stands at LTN probably means the base won’t be able to grow to a significant size.

Poros, Aegina and Leros. Now if they'd added the new 'darling' of the Aegean...Lipsi.....i'da definitely booked up 👌

Honestly Im glad you feel the same to me.

Constant expansion and using different flights to feed different destinations (Malmo via Copenhagen as the example).

Company goes strength to strength. And they've just parked some Airbuses on easy's lawn.

 

[BhxJack]

Yep agreed

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

So where do we think jet2 will enter or go to next from Birmingham in 2026 ?
I personally think
🇨🇻 Cape Verde :Espargos
🇬🇷Greece:Sitia
🇹🇳 Tunisia Djerba
🇪🇸Spain:Murcia

 

[mullion]

To be honest can`t seen any of those in the near future

 

[davecleaver777]

Murcia maybe in the next 5 years the rest you can forget

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

To be honest can`t seen any of those in the near future

What can you see then?Give us ur thoughts?

If they can secure enough hotel beds in the area I wouldn't be surprised to see Kavala at some point.

Egypt has been/is being looked at so Sharm and/or Hurghada are possible.

Cape Verde comes down to securing the hotel rooms where TUi have a very strong presence.

Plenty more city break options if that's the direction they choose.
