Jet2/Masterplan

We are left with just one Blue Air route to OTP, although they are increasing the frequency I seem to remember reading?

I guess it will have to be Jet2 next time....the Jet2 juggernaut rolls on.....
Jet2 - I certainly expect LCA to increase anyway but don't we have this debate every year as Blue Air put LCA on sale late compared to other routes? While on the subject of Jet2 - Christmas Shopping flights and Northern Lights 2019/20: -
Vienna twice weekly Monday and Friday from 22 Nov 2019 - 3/1/2020 (13 flights up 7)Prague - from 2 to 4 a week 2-12-2019 - 3-1-2020 (10 extra flights)Reykjavik - odd dates 7-11-2019, 11-11-2019, 5-3-2020, 9-3-2020, 30-03-18 & 13-4-2018 (up 4)

Masterplan - Not often you say these types of plan fall into the realistic category although the 15 Million by 2023 could be taken as a lack of ambition rather than being realistic. Although it does say there are plans if more stands are required if there is better than expected growth.

Ryanair - A second Tuesday Palma added for summer 2019

Emirates - A rumour a few months back was EK39 in November was to be a 77W then the rumour changed to 3 class A388 for 3 weeks and the reality is a few 3 class on both services but much better than first feared.

TUI - Two 787's currently based Monday and Fridays (actually in most the week but one parked) as well as 4 short-haul which should all help towards a record November barring weather etc.
