I see from the provisional data set issued by the CAA that Jet2 grew LBA-BFS by 23% in September 06 vs 05, whilst Flybe were 22% lower. Both from the same capacity. I also see Jet2 have just introduced on-line check-in for LBA-BFS and are rumoured to be increasing frequency next summer. I was speptical about this initially, but looking at the figures and the move to OLCI, I wonder if there is a bigger game at play here to force flybe off of the route?
Also with Wizz expanding their Polish flights ex-DSA, I wonder if Jet2 will be considering growing their own portfolio to that part of the world. LBA-WAW perhaps?
