TCX - Summer 2013

I realise it is a long way off, but as the flights appear in the TCX booking engine i'd thought I'd have a look at a week in June next year and compare it to the same week this year and it came up with some interesting results.

BASES (Shorthall)

LBA - doesn't seem to be any flights or based aircraft.
STN - 1 x A320
CWL - 1 x A320
BRS - 1 x A320 (1 less A320 than 2012)
BFS - 1 x A321
EMA - 2 x A321
BHX - 2 x B752 (1 less B752 than 2012)
NCL - 2 x B752, 1 x A320 (1 less A320 than 2012 (2nd based A320 in 2012 leased from SmartLynx))
GLA - 2 x B753, 1 x B752 (1 less B752 than 2012)
LGW - 1 x A332, 3 x B752, 2 x A320 (2 less B752 than 2012, 2 more A320 than 2012)
MAN - 3 x B76W, 3 x B752 (1 less A332 used for SH, 1 less A321, 2 less B752 (not sure about spare a/c) than 2012, 1 more B76W than 2012.

When all destinations are looked at for each departure airport, the schedule actually works for every airport with hardly any gaps in nearly all the bases so although a long way off I would have thought it relatively accurate.

If that is the case then the fleet would look something like this in Summer 2013:
6 x A320 (same as 2012, not counting leased SmartLynx A320)
3 x A321 (1 less than 2012)
11 x B752 (5 less than 2012 - although there maybe a number of spare aircraft not counted in the 2013 schedule)
2 x B753 (no change)
3 x B76W (no change, 1 B76W leased to Condor in 2012)
1 x A332 used for SH (2 used in 2012)
