Sounds most plausible to me, what does everyone else think?
It is a plausible hypothesis, but personally I think it is more profitable to take advantage of evening slots available in high season.
This question and others like operative reinforcement / seasonal base or new routes will be solved soon...
In principle a Jet2 plane will be based at ALC from May 23 until October 5 with extra flights to BFS, BLK, EDI, GLA and NCL.
pd. W13 season from/to ALC is on sale. All routes will be operated (including BFS and GLA which are not operated during W12). MAN and NCL will be operational throughout the winter as LBA (no post-Christmas break).
