Very nice, Dan. I presume the Fedex is departing too, looks like it has a high flaps setting for departure?
Eos looks classy, I wasn’t much of a fan of the Maxjet livery from pics but after seeing it in the flesh it looks somewhat better…
Well this pretty much confirms the strong rumour of a winter TFS base! (blatant copy of Jet2 I know 😉 ) It’s rumoured to be a B738W getting based there too, which would be a bit ironic given GSM’s previous claims of no flights from ABZ until they had more suitable aircraft…
Taken whilst stuck in traffic from the A8000 area 😮
Nothing new there then. 😉
I was wondering where it had been taken from actually…
Excellent shots. I like the overview shot, something a bit different.
Excellent shots in both threads, can’t wait to get back to LHR this summer.

Special mention goes out to the Irn Bru ads, and the latest Irn Bru 32.

Just a bit on the sunny side. 😉
Thanks for the comments guys. 🙂
That’s more like it. 😉
Nice report and pics! Weather looks superb by DUB standards. 😉
More to come for LBA too as it seems Scot are going to announce EDI 2x daily starting this winter in competition with bmi. They could do with a bit of competition, hopefully it will bring the fares down!
Suppose it depends on your definition of a rumour. Certainly “rumoured” on the Pilots rumour site 🙂
Would that have been at the time just before the summer timetable was released? 😉
It wouldn’t surprise me given how low the load factors can be- but what do they expect using the B733?- although there have been occasions when the flights have been full.
I can’t see them dropping it before LGW though, I think it’s safe to say that route is doing somewhat worse, they should maybe consider reducing it to 2x daily like the have done to the EDI flights.
Maybe it ‘ll be enough to get Jet 2 to drop the route as previously rumoured
Don’t think that has ever been rumoured, there was a time when the summer timetable hadn’t been released that some people started jumping to conclusions but there’s never been anything concrete to indicate Jet2 have looked at dropping it.
I’m currently unsure of what the loads are like, but a B733 is clearly too big for the route, even if they only get 70 pax, that’s a half full B733, but close to 2 fill ERJs, and that’s the problem with Jet2 on the route, the B733 is too big, they’d probably be better concentrating their efforts on other routes in Europe from EDI.
Just what the route needs… even more capacity!
It could be they are using the aircraft that does the SYY service for this extra MAN flight, as SYY is getting dropped from the end of July I think it is.
