What a ridiculous comparison. So is a house worth more as spares after the 25 year mortgage is paid off too? Does buying an aircraft outright mean it’s free, or do Jet2 still have to pay for it?

So do you think Jet2 are getting these aircraft for free? Owned or leased, they still cost a lot of money every month.

Nonsense. Jet2 were just as badly affected as TUI (and EZY). Every weekend of the summer was a total shambles for Jet2 at BHX.

Well they have 38 aircraft in their fleet today that will be over 25 years old by 2026. I'd imagine the majority of these deliveries will be replacements, not for expansion.
