As for BOH, Jet2 have no presence at LGW so this could potentially pull demand away from the likes of easyJet and Norwegian. Could be quite strategic to do this especially if they did a split operation between BOH and SOU? 2 aircraft each.
Admiral optimism but SOU is a complete no for 738 or A321 ops, and as for BOH, yes Jet2 had its spiritual home there, but both TUI and FR only base one 738 there year round, so 2 at BOH for Jet2 - not sure about that...Rumour was for TUI to have a 2nd 738 but even they are cautious at BOH and have reduced SOU ops for S20 by canning IBZ and 1 x PMI a week, with MAH remaining on a small 78 seat BE Q400.
BRS has seen around 3 or 4 TCK a/c lost but EZY TUI and FR all have very strong presence there
CWL was summer only TCK
afaik?
EXT nothing for years (only TUI now for package holidays, plus FR muscling in)
