The jet2 model wouldn't work now. The morning and Afternoon wave of flights are timed perfect to maximise the utilisation now, unlike before, where they would have had spare gaps available year round

I would also guess it's the same reason they dropped the work for Royal Mail, as they needed their planes on the more profitable holidays routes
