As far as I’m aware, Jet2 won’t be opening a LGW base and it’s not on their agenda either. Having walked past the Thomas Cook shop in Croydon today, there are holidays in the window there that were departing Stansted with TC. Croydon is only 15 minutes by train from Gatwick. People will drive that bit further if it saves them a few £ on their annual two week family holiday to Greece/Spain/Turkey. Even more so now that there’s a lot less choice.
IMHO Bristol/Cardiff or Bournemouth would be the next obvious opportunity. Jet2 has the SE covered already. If you want to go from Gatwick on your annual package holiday, pay a few hundred £ more and book with TUI.
