The Paris thing seems to be an issue with utilisation. The LBA programme as it stands can be done with 6 / 7 aircraft on some days, rising to a requirement for 9 on Sunday evenings.

Fitting in CDG with the current timings needs a 9th a/c on Tues, Thurs and Fri between mid-July and end of August (when it would conflict with the 2nd daily MJV flight) so ulitimately I suppose Jet2 will be weighing up whether this is something they can accomodate given their other plans.

I rather suspect it would be easier all round for them if they could get an earlier slot as they have a spare machine lying around at LBA until 11:30 each day. If this failed at IATA, perhaps they're working behind the scenes with other airlines trying to exchange slots (although swapping a lunchtime slot for an early morning one, doesn't sound a great trade).

Didn't realise bmi were pulling off CDG by the way.
