Jet2 have wisely stayed well clear of Egypt and Tunisia up to now - I wonder what they are thinking?

I believe Jet2/Jet2holidays were weeks away from announcing SSH and HRG way back in 2015 just before Metrojet went down. Them plans become shelved and the company moved on. Since then we've lost ZB and TC both of whom where big in the SSH market. That leaves just TUI and easyJet (for seat only) in the market plus other charter company (enter air has come forward in partnership with Red Sea Holidays). I suspect it will be on the radar within a couple of years defiantly. Year round, profitable year round (Monarch increased SSH every winter), both SSH could be served from all 9 bases, HRG most. I can see once stabilised a Jet2 presence will be good for Egypt.
