@Has U2 given up on the LGW-NTE route, leaving it all now to flyBE, or is it simply a case that scheduling for 2012 ... this seems to be the only existing route out of Gatwick that's not on sale for next summer.@
LGW/NTE route is a Easyjet seasonal one (mid july / early sept) ... actual scheduling for summer 2012 is ending june (a 10 months programm)
There is no reason to my knowledge that EZY will not reprogramm LGW/NTE route for 2012 summer
... just wait few days/weeks
