Slots at destination airports are the issue, they appear to want to retain capacity to allow flexibility to jump on slots as and when they become available. Moving to Liverpool does not seem to be in line with company growth strategy (though Jet2 Liverpool does have a ring to it) still too close to MAN to be viable in my view. It would also require capacity commitment that would be best used at incumbent bases. Maintain that LGW is the missing piece in the puzzle if they can get the slots to go in big. Otherwise just can’t see any new bases in the next couple of years unless anything changes or opportunities arise or they reopen crew bases at ALC PMI TFS to build in operational resilience (minimise disruption).
