Jet2 Buys Thomas Cook Slots

[CHRISBLUE43]

Just read that Jet2 has bought Thomas Cook's slots at Manchester, Birmingham and Stanstead.
Hopefully that means competitition for TUI and VA in the future.

I saw this but I thought that Jet2 don't fly long haul? It'd be great if they did, we've always had good service from them.
Fingers crossed that they don't fill them with short haul.

They do a one trip a year to New York from East mids, so could be they may look to expand on that, hope so would give more competition again!

Yeah they do flights to Newark.

They may have bought the slots but they may not be to Orlando , the slots can be used to fly anywhere they want

We went December from Leeds to Newark direct and price was amazing for December 178 each with case .

Have a google to see how many rumours there are at the moment..

If they do go long haul they would most likely use the leased Air Tanker A330s.

They have bought "some" slots at Manchester, most likely short haul. Virgin are adding additional flights to Orlando, Vegas and Barbados, but no word if these are existing or additional slots.

Hope they will fly to Orlando, like Jet 2 , was gutted when they stopped flying from Blackpool Airport when they closed down. I like Easyjet too, they have a good hand luggage policy.

Easy jet bought the LGW slots they don't fly long haul--
