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

Hopefully we'll be seeing an A330 based over the peak summer 🙂

Wow....that's unexpected but great news 👌

Apparently im hearing that due to delays in 32N deliveries for Jet2 and the need to shift 2(?) A/C to Luton to launch their base, the A330 will be base at BHX over peak summer. 1x 330 at BHX and 2x 330 at MAN....

Yet to be cpnfirmed thought but not looked in the booking system yet.

I’m in a group chat on X and we spoke about where jet2 could expand this winter and next summer.I don’t want to brag on about wishlists but these were them
Few of the suggestions were La palma,Porto santo,Tangier Lisbon.

I wonder if both of LTN's A321's are coming from BHX 🤔

I think we were down for 9 based NEO but that was reduced to 7 to cover LTN. With delivery delays it could be even less now but an A330 to make up for it.

I did hear that from next week BHX will be down to four NEO's as one will go to Luton. Does anyone know the timescale as to when/if any further NEO's are due to be based?

G-VYGL has been operating most of the winter from MAN and I have seen it several times in last week or two

3rd Air Tanker turning up in BHX?

What about if they have all 4 tankers for S26 - GVYGL/GM at MAN and GK/GJ at BHX?

The real question has to be - if this is due to delivers yet Jet2 manage to sell the aircraft out day in day out flight in flight out ... will they look at using wide body in BHX?

rumoured to be the 345 seater A332 9H-MFS 👍

Looks to be doing the Sunday FAO too.

 

[nwoody2001]

I suspect the likes of PMI / AGP will also be on the list? Great to see it being loaded into the system!

High density configuration, 9 abreast 3-3-3 in an aircraft which is usually 8 abreast 2-4-2. Same as Air Transat uses. Just about tolerable for a short flight. Tight squeeze with your neighbours. Will be nice to have a wide body aircraft, but not if the person in the seat next to you also has a wide body!

Hi Fly A330-300

Using the A332 is actually less seats as it is operating 2 x 738's flight at a time

So nice to have but less movements and less seats
