Blackpool - Ibiza flights for Jet2?
29.04.07
The Jet2.com website is advertising flights from Blackpool Airport to Ibiza for the summer months. Assuming this is not a misprint, it could explain what the budget airline will do with the spare jet it will have this summer whilst its flights from Blackpool to Amsterdam and Prague are suspended.
Jet2's Blackpool - Prague flights are flown immediately before the Amsterdam flights, which means that one aircraft is available from 12:40 (Mon, Thu and Fri) and 14:00 (Sun) for half a day. This could mean the route will be flown four times weekly starting 4th June.
This has not been confirmed (we have e-mailed Blackpool Airport's PR people but, unlike us, they don't appear to work weekends!), but it looks like information has slipped out by Jet2, and another sun destination is to be added to the Blackpool network!
By the way, another rumour doing the rounds at the airport is that Jet2 is to go three-times daily on weekdays between Blackpool and Belfast, as a result of high load factors on its current morning and evening flights this summer. Not good news for Jetstream Express, who recently announced that they would also operate on the route.
