3 main bases which are LGW/MAN then maybe EMA
Hmmm? I cant really see this happening, I could however see many less bases that they currently fly from now, and about W Patters, I dont think they will do much of this in the future either, as it is really the way too run a Lo-co, is it. More like no charter, and buy seats from other airlines for charter traffic, such as XL, FCA, TCX, and others
I see the there being a few more future bases than you stated; LGW, Luton(It has no real competition as on other side of London to LGW, and needed for Essex population IMHO, before any says it wont be there), MAN, BHX, DSA, NCL, CWL and thats about it IMHO opinion. Well 08 will tell us all really, with the move to Tuifly.com, and other changes, fleet replacment, smaller bases closing, others expanding. Consolidation is enevitable, and so a redundacies, but we can always hope for better things ahead.
