Not sure whether there is any truth to this new base rumour as it would be quite a leak for anything like that to seep out, they keep it quiet for good reason!
That said, LGW is the only one that makes sense currently that is not currently served, unless there is to be a strategy change I can’t imagine LPL would be on their priority list with MAN being so close. Perhaps if Wizzair U.K. are not going to be around for too much longer the slots may open up for Jet2 to enter LGW. Then you have pretty much all of the country covered.
Why would Wizzair UK not be around for much longer? Wouldn't they just transfer over to Wizzair EU?
