As the most competition to DTV would come from Newcastle, at present FR only offer Dublin and Girona. However Jet 2 seem to offer flights to most obvious destinations from there and some not so obvious; Easyjet has a more limited offering, but seems to serve the bucket-and-spade routes and some cities.
FR's nearest base, LBA offers routes to about twenty-odd places (without even mentioning Jet 2), and DSA seems to have a speciality in flights by Wizz to Poland and Lithuania.
So if FR did base at DTV it would have to be conscious it was fighting a lot of established traffic including its own.
The biggest scepticism I have of the claim is two planes. That's up to six destinations a day (less if Canaries involved), and we know that FR likes to max out the use of its planes, especially in summer - that's how it's been such a success.
But good luck if it is true!
