indeed Pete, 2017 saw the largerest Monarch base with 10 aircraft based peak season, 1 x 738, 2 x 320, and 7 321's and Thomas Cook had 4 aircraft, 1 x 320, 3 x 321, while Jet 2 had only started operations, with a base of 4 738's, TUI had 7 aircraft, 1 x 788, 3 x 757, 3 x 738, so total aircraft based in the record breaking summer 2017 was 25.
With Jet 2 having 13 or 14 aircraft, and TUI 10 aircraft provisionally for 2020, capacity will still be slightly down on 2017 levels at present, just hope the 738 Max issues dont effect TUI too much, always still possible that they might have to reduce the base due to lack of aircraft. Should know more I guess in the coming months!
