Manchester has capacity problems during redevlopment - reported elsewhere that Easyjet have been told not to operate UK domestic departures from MAN because of this. There is no competition with any other full package holiday operator at Liverpool, - Easyjet holidays offering is somehat different to Jet2´s
If a considerable number of Manchesters Jet2 passengers come from Merseyside and North Wales, why would they go to the expense of setting up on their own doorstep? It’s not a logical choice at all - not impossible but not logical.
I maintain that LGW would make most sense given their current growth pattern. But this is all academic as it doesn’t seem like an appropriate time to open a new base.
In response to questions over Wizzair U.K., don’t appear to be doing too well.
