Jet2 Merger?
Could it possibly be - bmibaby - similiar aircraft types
New bases at BHX-CWL whilst expanding existing bases at MAN-EMA...
I`m sure Jet2 would move bmibaby operations back to BFS to simplify things...
Just an idea but if they are to "merge" with somebody I personally think bmibaby would be an ideal candidate with the Jet2 name more well known across both airlines
737-800s - Excellent choice - Seemingly being the low cost plane of choice..
