Jet2 orders 4 more Boeing 737-800s
UK leisure airline Jet2 has ordered 4 additional Boeing 737-800NGs. The expanding carrier already has 30 737-800s on order, 8 of which have been delivered in 2016. The latest tranche is worth US$384m at list prices, although the airline’s parent Dart Group said it had negotiated “significant discounts” from the sticker price. The new 737-800NGs are scheduled to be delivered from Aug 2018 to Jan 2019, Jet2 added. The aircraft, which will be used for future anticipated growth of the group’s leisure travel business and for planned fleet replacement, are expected to be funded through a combination of internal resources and debt. Separately, the airline has recently taken measures against the rising tide of alcohol-induced misbehaviour on board flights by ceasing alcohol sales on early morning departures. <br/>
