They don’t even feature any mainland Spanish airports such as Reus, Alicante or Malaga. A third based short haul aircraft is desperately needed in the summer months for a more diverse offering. Their current offering is very limited to say the least.
I don’t think there is much room for TUI short Haul, Bucket and Spade flights.
Jet2 and Ryanair have the pretty much covered.
in the future I see Jet2 launching Orlando, and a few other transatlantic holiday routes, but not in the next few years.
Im also thinking Aer Lingus may mirror the Manchester routes once they launch a few more from Manchester.
