FR24 shows that flight MT1813 was an A321 flying MJT-LGW every Saturday. Equally MT1501 was an A321 flying MJT-MAN every Saturday and MT1215 was an A321 flying MJT-BHX every Saturday
Clearly an A321 has the legs to not only take off from MJT but also make it as far as Manchester non-stop on a regular basis without significant likelihood of needing to stop off to refuel
CAA stats indicate that Gatwick-Mytilene had 2162 pax in August 2019. There were 5 Saturdays in August, so this suggests an average of 216 pax per flight, well beyond the 180 or 186 pax capacity that can be achieved with an A320
Manchester-Mjytilene has 2100 pax in August while Birmingham-Mytilene had 2087 pax
Mytilene on 28 September in mid-afternoon was warm and dry - seemed very typical of the weather one might expect of a Greek island in the summer of the year - but not excessively hot. The runway is right by the sea and can't be more than about 100 feet above sea level
