If by next summer you mean 2018 then there seems to be no growth. Next Summer 2019 EZY growth is impossible to anticipate. Slots for based aircraft doing typical short haul flying are at a premium. They were granted some of the slots freed up by Monarch, but failed to use them. They will have to reapply. If nobody else applies for extras they will get them. However, there are criteria applied to slots being granted. Their Failiure to use them this year will count against future allocations and may mean other airlines get them. Therefore, no matter how committed they are to an increase it may be out of their hands. Many feel that this years application was a gambit to deter other operators. This (if true) won’t work twice.
