Interesting choice of destination!! With EZY and FR on the route (I believe seven weekly in total) I did not think there would be a demand for another two?

Always thought twice weekly to PMI in winter would have been successful

I have to say that I've become rather fond of Jet2 and the holiday product. Me and the other half love that we get to our hotel then on return can check our bags at the hotel on departure and get a rep also if assistance is needed. As an ex cabin manager at EZY, I prefer Jet2. Superior customer experience from people enjoying their job and not being worked to the bone, knackered and having to try to provide great customer service after working up to 6 days with minimum rest because your told its legal .

I've got Paphos booked next year with LS, looking forward to it, lot of people I know very impressed with the whole of the jet2 group lately. I've never had an issue with EZY but I'd have to say crew often look tired out, I'd have said FR's were the most exhausted looking in the past, less so the last few flights I've had with them after a long period of refusing to use them.

Caa stats out for June.
International routes well up at the expense of some domestic routes

5.65 million pax for the last 12 months

[DC9_10]

See Ryanair going back up to 5 daily on the Gatwick for winter 2018 with a departure at 10 45. Is the third frame on its way at last, and is another UK destination on the cards due the departure time ?

[BHD2BFS]

I doubt FR will put a 3rd aircraft in anytime soon.
However if they did and did a business friendly LBA and EMA twice daily. It would kill BE on the route

Again very unlikely but a BOH rotation 5-6 times a week would also knock Flybe on their southern England market. Another contender on a domestic route could be CWL? If BE are upping to twice daily. Again FR could squeeze the market with 4-5 rotations a week

On another domestic note. With EZY now flying into SOU. Could they begin to look at the regional market from there?

Just my 2 cents. Personally I think APD is saving Flybe on the domestic side at the moment. Remove it and the big boys will move in and clear up

[Jamesair]

They might want to have a go at EZY on the NCL route...as rumoured last year...pax figures increase every month, year on year.
