I imagine all TUI really want to do over winter is mitigate their losses. Prior to today's news. TUI had 4 x weekly flights on MAN-LPA, 2 x weekly DSA-LPA and 1 x weekly LBA-LPA. 7 in total, but if there is only aggregate demand for 6 flights a week across the Northl, it's inevitable that the LBA flight will be the one to suffer. TUI have a 3 airport deal with Peel and a huge investment in MAN and a one airport, fairly insignificant deal with LBA.
I'd be hugely surprised if Jet2 did anything to LPA this side of Christmas given the lead times. Putting something on sale now for a launch for Feb half term running into Easter is possible but still unlikely. Frankly, if they had any intention to be flying down to LPA, why wouldn't it have gone on sale months ago along with ACE and TFS?
I think as Leodis says, the winter schedule will be pretty much as it is now; Scotairways perhaps being the only thing that might come good.
Don't know anything about summer, so maybe Leodis could enlighten us?
