1) Jet2 have had 3 b757’s delivered from a Chinese airline and these aircraft can do medium/ short long haul flights so does this mean they are planning destinations further away?
2) “Rumours of flights to Sharm El Sheikh are currently circulating on the grapevine. The airline has 4 of these Boeing 757 aircraft already based at Leeds Bradford and they may become surplus to requirement during the winter without any new ‘sun’ destinations. I am fully expecting some sort of announcement for flight further afield to operate during the coming winter.
On another note: A media group was advertising Jet2 flights to Croatia this week, prior to any official announcement by jet2 of flights there. So I think one could expect to so flights to Croatia announced very shortly.”

Jet2 to Croatia
The flights refer to holidays to Croatia using Jet2. They are doing them already!
You fly to Venice on Jet2 and coach over the Croatian border into the Istrian Peninsula, so no need to get excited about flights to Pula. They won’t be happening just yet.

Well SSH has been on the rumour mill for some time now, and to be honest i dont think it will be that long before you will see Jet2.com doing flight to Egypt, Cyprus, Greece etc even more so now with Jet2Holidays. so watch this space.
Many rummors have floated around, including thngs like NewYork and getting 767s of which im told engineers are currently on Conversion causes? not too sure how true this is, but would be a good idea i guess.

In my opinion a change in title may be an idea….. ie – “Jet2 – 3 New Aircrafts”
I dont know about other people but i reffer BREAKING NEWS as some sort of inicdent.
Thanks

None of that is ‘BREAKING NEWS’, its all either stuff that’s already been posted on other sites, or rumours, and you seem to have copied and pasted the lot of it!

Looks more like Glasgow to Faisalabad than Glasgow to Islamabad.
