It was only ever intended to operate from 20th April to mid July which, as anyone with kids will know, is the duration of summer term and typically the period in which educational trips abroad are scheduled. Given the nature of the destination, it is highly likely that this was essentially set up as a charter to deal with these trips, with any excess capacity being sold as a scheduled route. On the basis that Jet2 usually adopt a conservative approach to the LBA market, I doubt they ever intended for this to operate on a stand-alone scheduled basis. If so, then I suspect too many of the intended educational trips have fallen through and Jet2 have had too many seats to sell themselves and they've decided to pull the plug.
