I've read today that LPL says about 750,000 pax per year use them on easyJet services (or is it combined with other carriers?) from the "Manchester area". Perhaps they can co-exist at both but what intrigues me is the quickish expansion for easyJet at MAN. How long did it take them to add 3 aircraft at LPL...specifically from 2 aircraft to 5 aircraft? Must be a bit disconcerting to see a MAN base half as big as LPL in the course of 5 years (including GB Airways's time) even though they would have been at LPL for 13 years by 2010.
