NGC - Airline/Aircraft question

[tris]

On Monday I'm flying from Birmingham UK to Frankfurt Germany and the airline has been confirmed as "Lufthansa Flight LH959 on A320 Sharklets JetCan"

I've worked out that the Sharklets are the Airbus name for special wing tips but what is a JetCan

I'll take a guess

The bathroom?

when you lift the seat on the toilet, you can see outside

Check your seat map and see if there are 30 rows or 32 rows.  That will tell you which version of the A320 you are flying.

Maybe it means Jet can-bus. The computer is flying it.. the captain is monitoring the systems and playing angry bird on his Ipad.

There is a Canadian charter management company called JetCan - it's possible this aircraft or this flight route has some tie to that firm.

[yogidozer]

isn't jetcan what they call the bathroom at taco bell?

I did wonder if it was a code share thing but if none of the aero boys come back with the definitive answer I shall report back on Monday 😁

Found on the 'net:
Jetcan has been used by mechanics to mean the structural aero engine nacelles (shrouds), like a 'can' surrounding the engine blades.

Cheers - I wonder why Lufthansa find it necessary to tell me that their A320 has funny wingtips and engine nacelles

Where's Skyguyz when you need him ?
Can anyone fly this plane?

Well...
If you have to go looking for them, you'll know what they look like

Ummmm - don't all modern jet engines have those? And haven't they had them for decades?

Precisely!
And It's not only Lufthansa.

There was an ad for "Netjets" at the bottom of the first page just now. The picture looked like a big biz jet. I can't identify airplanes that smell that bad..

I think "JetCan" may be a reference to the tubular aluminum fuselage which resembles an elongated tin can.
It's rather silly that Lufthansa feels it needs to distinguish its plane by naming these mundane bits common on most narrowbodies today.  SouthWest Airlines, for example, does not find it necessary to point out the double-bladed AT winglets on its new Boeing 737-8 Max jets.
