Istanbul

Jet2 announced in early October that they'd be starting up MAN-IST, but this seems to have been quietly dropped, although I'm not sure when.

Have scanned back to the start of this thread (#4), which goes as far back as mid-October.

Did it falter straight away or have I missed something.

IST should have been quite a high profile destination, obviously up against the hub & spoke of TK, but there should have been room for both with the right marketing.

When I went there myself (from MAN) in Dec 94, we were part of a group of 7 and there were three other passengers on a 738 (iirc) with TK. Turkey has come on quite a long way since then - or is it still easier to fill jets to the sunny resorts on the Med, I guess it always will be!
