Neither probably. The deal probably fell through like the Air Asia A330-300 one did for Summer 2015. Jet2 took stock; continued to grow; and within 2 years had 1 wide-bodied operating for them both during the Summer for Short Haul and EWR for winter operation. Within 4 years of the original plan they want 3 - i doubt that they cannot fill them. Could probably fill one A330 going twice daily to PMI during June, July, August and some September.

My money would be either on Evelop for the A350 delay or...dare i say it...uncertainty from the 'B' word
I reckon the uncertainty isn't helping. Like the Air Asia A330 for 2015 - probably pull; take stock; grow & revisit within a few years. Within 2 years we'll know the fall out from Brexit at least.
