After completing a short term lease with a Ex Delta Boeing 757-200 this month, EastJet Virtual has announced the addition of 3 Boeing 757's to its fleet of 10 Boeing 737-700NG aircraft based at Chicago Midway Airport (MDW). The short term lease was for testing of EastJet's normal operations and on-hand training for its staff.
The 3 Boeing 757-200 series aircraft are powered by 2 PW2037 engines and seating for 220 passengers with a range of 3,900 nautical miles. EastJet has not announced which destinations it will serve with the new airframes, however a EastJet 737 was spotted in Vancouver, BC and Panama City, Panama in the last 3 weeks.
EastJet Virtual representatives have also been in contact with the Armed Forces Air Mobility Command within the last month to apply for freight transportation rights, a sign EastJet is looking into transporting goods and personnel for the military. This process can take up to a year to complete and start service, with proving runs required before rights are given.
