Dubai
Would not somewhere like Dubai for example be easier for Jet2 to get into the longer haul market.
Probably only 7hrs from LBA, so easy for the 757`s.
Dubai is an up and coming destination and stopover point with lots of onward flights to India,Pakistan and the whole of Asia. A very desirable destination in itself.Probably could sustain a daily flight and give Manch a bashing.
Be good to get in early before Emirates start thinking about airports like DSA.
For sure, more point to point destinations from regional airports will become common.Also, look at what Jet2 has done to LBA charter flights.
Thomsons had 1 or 2 flights per week to Malaga and now Jet2 are going up to 2 x 757`s per day.
Is it not possible that the same will happen to the more far flung destinations and more business could be taken from Manchester?
I reckon amongst the low cost airlines, Jet2 have a top draw product.
Could they even stick a few business class seats in for longer flights?
Interesting times ahead.
