What you think then?

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

Not Cape Verde as discussed previously for a number of reasons. Including hotel availability & aircraft. After all they’ve only just started Egypt and I see that expanding cautiously and slowly. London Gatwick if slots come up don’t be surprised to see A321’s heading there.

More Italy, More France, More Spain & More Portugal. Would be my 2 cents.

Greece is almost now fully served,

They have practically every corner of the Mediterranean covered now Tunisia has been added. There are still a few gaps they could fill, some rather niche, but if anyone could make them work it would be Jet2; Bilbao, Valencia, Bastia, Genoa, Bari, Patras, Karpathos, Varna and wild card - Albania?

Any plans for Jet2 to increase its capacity next summer?

This year we have 17 aircraft

Could also see LJU for the lakes and mountains, SUF or BDS for the boot of Italy and maybe KLU for the Austrian lakes

I really hope so as it's now top of my 'to do' list and I'd much prefer to go direct rather than via FRA or AMS.

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

I really think LJU,Tirana,Bari are real possibilities to be next new routes

However I think Jet2s plan is to expand into Greece more like karpathos,Mykonos
Volos

None of those looks likely for Jet2 who do not tend to go for small niche markets. LJU with EZY, maybe. TIA already served by RYR (the tourism infrastructure is still not there).

The Eastern side of Italy and the far south are coming (back) but the likes of Rimini, Bari, Brindisi, Lamezia, Reggio etc. are currently small destinations from UK. Maybe RYR and EZY are better suited to these too.

Of corse, I could see plenty of new destinations in the Mediterranean for Jet2.

Disagree......Thassos, Samos and Olbia are niche markets from BHX. I'm sure Jet2, just like Ryanair, are a great stimulator for a market. Don't think Jet2 are done just yet.......

 

[Ray Finkle]

As a new Spanish destination I wouldn't have put Jerez above the likes of Seville, Valencia or even Madrid but Jet2 seem to be making it work.

Somewhere that ex player Bastian Schweinsteiger may like to holiday?

The 16th 'flying' aircraft started flying today, no more top come now.

They do have a spare unit too.

Same question as yesterday Ant as has been said a few times by various posters those who know this sort of information can't for obvious reasons say, last week same question asked re EasyJet or was was it Wizz, next week TUI?

Ten out of ten for enthusiasm though but it's all a bit repetitive 😃
