Anyway its all moot. The next 5 to 10 years will see a massive change in how we book holidays and travel.
I did think that at one point, but I have recently changed my mind. There will always be a market for families what want to get to airport, give the airline the bags with no dramas, get on board and sit with family, get to the other end and be driven to the hotel. This will not change even with air bnb and the likes. As soon as kids come along it changes everything!
J2 are very well placed, thomas cook had all the legacy hangover issues of a huge high street retail estate, and all the debt that entailed. J2 do not have this and I would imagine their only debt is in the aircraft themselves. I think jet2 are going from strength to strength and I think other players are watching very closely at their success.
Long may it last.
