Jota's work for HOP appears to be continuing into the winter. The Pau programme has ceased but G-JOTS has moved base, complete with spares, to Strasbourg. There has been no further activity by the QTs after the inaugural Poznan-Liverpool car parts charter on October 17 until today when G-JOTE has positioned to Bratislava Good to hear that Jota's HOP work looks like continuing. By coincidence G-JOTE positioned this morning to Bratislava for work from there and returned to SEN with a freight load.

G-JOTE to Donny and then cargo to Gothenberg this evening. G-JOTR did the LDY-STN-LDY this evening too, with a lengthy turn around at STN. Probably doing tomorrow's too?

Jota appear to be enjoying a high utilisation of the passenger fleet at present. A summary of recent news:
G-JOTR contract with BACF reportedly covers the period April 1 to mid July, Mondays to Thursdays. So the weekend days are presumably free for Jota to use. G-JOTS back with HOP after a month in the UK (Cranfield) for maintenance. Currently based at Biarritz. I don't know the duration of this arrangement. G-SMLA is also with HOP today at Lille, though might just be for the short term ' LATE EDIT - in fact back to SEN after one rotation
Also reported that Jota have a contract with Tangney Travel for some 20 "pilgrim charters" to Lourdes, most of which will be flown from SEN but there will be a few from other UK airports. The destination airport is Tarbes-Lourdes-Pyrenees to give its full name.
Finally the two remaining King Airs appear to have been sold. Their registration is in process of transfer to the USA. I am not sure that G-JOTA flew at all in 2018 and G-JOTB has been out of the air for rather longer.

And JOTA back up to Stornoway this morning (empty), I guess for the return leg of the flight last week?

G-JOTS arrived back at SEN yesterday.A few weeks ago it was being advertised as available for long or short term ACMI work from July 1. It would appear that the HOP contract is now finished.

I see there is a tweet on JOTA feed about G-JOTD - can anyone explain the significance of the tweet? (couldn't post a link).
I have not been following progress of G-JOTD, has it been in service already?

Interesting. I am sure G-JOTD has not flown since arrival at SEN two years ago. That looks like some serious maintenance under way in the photo.
According to G-INFO, G-JOTD has not had a valid CofA or EASA ARC. But now in the last few days applications have been made for a duplicate registration certificate and a CofA subsequent issue with expected date of processing June 4.
No doubt all will become clearer soon.

Tagron - thanks for digging around.
Hopefully all will go well with airworthiness and will be in time for extra freight capacity to be offered out by JOTA at this time of undoubted need in various places.

The Poste Air Cargo contract which Jota have been flying for the last two months appears to have been switched from Brescia-Palermo to Brescia-Bari as of this week
