The extra aircraft basing for next summer should be as follows;

Glasgow -
1 x 757-200 (New to the fleet)
1 x 737-300 (Moved from LBA, no reduction in flights from LBA, just more on W routes from Belfast & Edinburgh

East Midlands -
1 x 757-200 (New to the fleet) -

Newcastle -
1 x 737-300 (New to the fleet)

Manchester -
1 x 737-300 (New to the fleet)

Edinburgh will not gain an extra aircraft, the base acquired G-CELP part the way through last summer due to the STN-JER post contract coming to an end. LP was used in peak summer but will be further utilised next summer, so it's not an actual new based aircraft, just existing ones used more.

Generally fleet utilisation is higher next summer, especially at LBA as there was typically two aircraft last summer that only did 2 sectors each, and were used as standby aircraft. They were not used that much though so for this coming summer, one will be stationed at GLA and utilisation increased.

LBA-BFS (evening) and LBA-PRG next summer will be W patterns from BFS and EDI respectively. As a side note, Glasgow and Edinburgh are to be operated as dual bases, so there may be some shuffling around during the summer months to accommodate the flying program.
