I agree this could be quite problematic on both PFO and LCA flights especially as both airports are not the best or quickest at doing turnarounds anyway hence why Tui often schedule 1hr 20mins , this combined with regular slot restrictions could cause issues with duty limits and could result in a lot of crew losing at Standby roulette if there are delays outbound even by short times.
I can see why the airport want to keep flights apart for testing as you would not want 1 person from say BHX Tui testing positive but then in the line with EZY BRS and Jet2 STN so you have 800 passengers to quarantine instead of 189

I know I have questioned before with ground crew at PFO why they have nearly all their UK flights arriving between 21:00 and 23:30 they said it was the Cypriot government decision as it created lots of night time employment and means coaches are better used as can be doing excursions in the day time and airport transfers at night.
