Should the XL group not be operating all those flights during the winter then Jet2 would be ideally placed to step in. Flights more often than not did appear full.
What concerns me is the demise of the charters at NCL. Yes, lowcost airline services like those from Jet2, Easy etc are great offering cheap fares to a range of destinations which stimulated NCL pax figures, but what about the traditional charters. TCX/MYT are merging, TOM/FCA are merging, will we see another decrease once all the mergers are finalised? The network operated by XL/Freedom was good, concentrating on the popular holiday places, further afield like SSH and the Canaries and I can't understand how they were loosing money on the network from NCL.
Thats for the winter, what about the summer as again the XL/Freedom group have a sizeable route network, though other charteres do share in the summer. Is NCL at risk of loosing some of these services too?
