The majority of all European short haul is unprofitable during the winter but market share and other factors mean airlines still fly. If this was any different, it would be done by a based carrier. Or are you trying to tell me that P&O think Jet2 are so wonderful they’re paying them a premium to specifically operate these flights?

What’s the obsession with TUI? Jet2 would be crushed by a huge orange capacity dump if they ever got into LGW. EasyJet are big enough to absorb losses on a few routes to protect their biggest base from competition.
