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.
Umm - sorry old chap but that region will never
''become stabilised'' in the near term, which is why Jet2 have stayed well clear - Yes the locals want us Brits back in their hotels but........
Yes I agree it is a strong market potential from all over the UK and many SSH holiday regulars will be booking as we speak for their dose of winter sun - Many having 2 such holidays there a year.
However, all we need is one more serious event in the region and it will be ''brakes on'' again.
I'm not so sure if Jet2 will dip their toes in this market despite the huge temptations for a quick £.
