Most likely in the near future.

I think they may not speed up expansion on this news. They have already announced more routes and slot interests have also shown they are willing to expand where possible.

A number of airports can, most smaller than MAN! One of those being LPL!

Which airline is currently? If we are classing Monarch's scheduled flights then they would be in the running plus Jet2 and FlyBE - I think they have someway to go before then...
