Erm, I'm not sure what you mean. Having a base in Blackpool is neither here or there to the argument as it would have no impact on BLK if Jet2 had a base or just flights from LPL. BLK could still grow with JET2 as there is no local competition. The manchester base may be relevant however, and that is why I was asking. If Jet2 undertook those opportunities from LPL however, I still dont believe that it would have an adverse impact on Jet2 from MAN. Jet2 have a lot of competition from MAN on the holiday front, which they would not do from LPL. There may not even be any need for a base, as 'W' patterns could be a possibility, albeit not a cost-effective one, if they concentrated on the Jet2 Holidays aspect. It could however lead to new opportunities (and profits) for Jet2 who could be under pressure at airports like LBA. Although as I said previously, It would not be a good idea to go head to head with the other locos at LPL.
