assume duty free stock etc and take the Leeds one to Norwich , whilst the Norwich one goes to Leeds and on

I would guess EDI got good ground crew so basic repairs can be worked on

FYI, Sunwing maintenance at LBA is performed by Monarch. It is nice that Monarch is still with us, albeit in Engineering form only. Incidentally, Monarch retained their LBA Maintenance base from the time of the airline ceasing operations and throughout the winter, providing ad-hoc support to Enter Air, among others. I don't know who looks after Sunwing at Norwich, Dublin and Belfast.
