Former EasyJet's Boeing 737-700s.

[viscount]

EasyJet ordered 32 Boeing 737-73V aircraft new from Boeing and also used another (a Boeing 737-76Q) acquired new on lease. As over three-quarters of these have now left service with Easyjet, replaced by new Airbus A.319/A.320 aircraft. With only 7 left, and currently around 2 a month leaving service, it is likely that the "by 2012" out of service date will easily be attained.

Most aircraft are withdrawn from EasyJet service at Luton, then flown to either Lasham or Southend for storage/overhaul. Most are repainted at Southend, although G-EZJJ/N711SY repainted at Filton.

Just been updating the table on the initial post with details of the recent disposals and subsequent regns.

Oddly, I have 'lost' G-EZJH & G-EZJI since their withdrawal from the active fleet well over a year ago. Anyone spot where these two are now?

[Deleted]

Nice thread Brian interesting to see where they are now.

G-EZJH is with Gol Transportes Aereos as PR-VBI

G-EZJI is with Sun Country Airlines as N710SY

Which means I now have a problem with the current identity of G=EZJK!

[Deleted]

Well spotted.

On resubmitting the info I noticed the search engine was bringing up ZJK even though I was submitting ZJH. One to watch out for in future. I've now found ZJH and its with Eastar Jet as HL7797 (double checked).

Sorry about that.

Just been updating the Boeing 737-700 retirements and subsequent operators list.

So far this year, in just 10 weeks, 6 aircraft have been retired - the disposal rate has increased from 1 a month to 2 a month. With only 7 now left in the fleet, this means an 'out of date' prediction of mid July 2010. While I supose it depends much on delivery rate of new A.319/320, I wonder if the B.737/700 will continue in service with EasyJet beyond the introduction of the summer timetable in late March ?

[captainkevey]

on average how much did easyjet pay for each 737 and as a average how much did they sell them for ?

[viscount]

No idea. Actually a number were 'sold' several years ago, to leasing companies, and immediately leased back.

Very soon, if not already the case, the oldest aircraft in the fleet will be the first A.319s that EasyJet acquired, as there was a short period of overlap as the last of the Boeings ordered were delivered after the first of the Airbus deliveries.
