I have seen footage of the F27 display, but with over 300 aircraft built, and at the same time as the Fokker in the DC3 replacement role, similar over 6 tonne cargo capacity (srs 2 748s), and post production large side cargo doors options, i dont think it can be knocked out too easily.

i popped in today too – everyone seemed to be quite excited qbout the JetX – i wasnt so – its CDG based, so i see it almost every day!

How confusing! Especially after iv got all the swiss ones! Grrrrrrrr….

The airline has again put a huge seat increase on its “bread and butter” routes. Considering it was only 18 months or so that jet2 started slowly operating its services out of LBA this a huge growth, and just shows on how other operators have been loosing out, and jet2 have found their niche!

The only problem is now they are getting to be so well known the special offers are getting snapped up much faster, but thats life. As said above i think Jet2 may well start to move into newer territory again soon, Ibiza is a start, and possably a 4x weekly Mahon, but what about more mainland european routes?

Probably a service i would consider usuing after this years first Eastern European experiance for myself – good luck to them!

Been to Gran Caneriaa myself, but that was back in 99 – in those days there was a new Airtours hotel (timeshare place) near the smaller airstrip where the DC-6 is stored, and airtours had the aircraft painted up in AIH livery – certainly interesting passing it on the motorway! Hope they didnt intend to use it as a back up if the shiny A321 arrived on went tech!!! 😉

WOW! Not a regular on this forum (more Airliners), but I spend most of my time working in Paris, between LBG and CDG – and i’m staying until Sat on LBG at the Kyriad Prestige! Anybody in the area and fancy a visit on Friday? If so PM me – so glad i stumbled accross this thread!

I saw the WestAir ATP parked up on the cargo apron at GLA on my way past today…first time I’ve seen the scheme in the flesh…interestin if you notice that they have simply painted over the white of the BA livery with the grey and applied decals onto the fuselage. Still using the BA blue belly and engines…hehe

I dont think that westair took any BA models. Most were ex Air Winsconsen (United Feeder (Emerald took the other 3 of these)), and then they added British World examples, i really dont think that the liv is actually purposly designed that way!
