A Jet2 spokesperson has confirmed that due to a lack of Castrol GTX the aircraft lost its bearings and landed at Manchester instead of Split.

Suppose we should be thankful it was going to SPU rather than LJU because isn't that the code for Lubricanta!!!

Can I take it that the Pegasus due in at 15:00 is destined for Jet2?

Another Boeing 737-800, TC-CRB joining the jet2 fleet

Only 8 years old as well…..

Out of 109 aircraft in the Pegasus fleet only 10 are Boeings (738s) the rest are A320/A320 neos and A321neos which might explain why they have let a relatively new 738 leave as they move to a 100% Airbus fleet.

Stay friendly with pegasus i say then if they have some pretty new 737 800s!
Bet you all now LBA remains a 737 only base for sometime, perhaps a case of keep all your 737s in one basket!!

 

[SierraHotel]

I agree LBA4EVER. I suspect LBA will be the last base to see A321s.

 

[Finger66]

May be it's going to be a case of keeping all the ex Eggasus 738s in one basket!

Thanks easy049, yes i reacon because LBA is the largest 737 base i feel it will stay this way for a long time. As the 300s leave the fleet more ex pegasus 800s will join us here at LBA.

 

[Finger66]

And TC-CRB looking resplendent parked up. How long before it becomes JZDH?

Cluck cluck 😎

If what I’ve heard is true, Oh how both you might be surprised sooner rather than later…

Just stop it with the yolks!

 

[Sputnik1]

Y'all crack me up!

 

[Finger66]

And everything turned out all white in the end!!!

@lbaspotter I take it there is a suggestion we may see some A21N’s at LBA then - good for capacity growth and noise levels if true. Or is it we get the ex TCX A321s as places like BHX and MAN get more A21N’s.

At the end of the day LBA is, and will still be, quite stand constrained and if new airlines appear with based a/c and other existing carriers expand, the sensible way for Jet2 to go is to increase aircraft size to increase capacity. Of course this could also mean 733s replaced with 738s. I am sure we will hear for definite once it’s commercially appropriate

 

[pilot_737]

Nothing on the grapevine my end about 321s at Leeds!
Latest is 733s until 2029!

I cant see a need for capacity increase at present. Loads aren’t high enough! I personally have seen a full aircraft about 4x this summer. Rest of the time it’s about 75%.

My mate was on a 733 to Faro on Friday afternoon and said it looked 50% full…GDFO wont last another 5 years with all the problems its having.
