Thank you for all the replies.

I was trying to get a feel for the 2013 capacity compared to 2012 for IT especially Thomson and Thomas Cook. I have gleaned some information from various threads but it seems in general Thomson have less seats due to the 757 dropping to 221 seats and more 738's in place of the 757/321. This seems to have happened across all the main bases (GLA, MAN, BHX, EMA) although I believe utilisation has increased.

Thomas Cook despite much negative publicity at times seems to have held up at most bases although I belive at least three 757's have left over the winter so some seat loses must have occurred even when considering the aircraft leased in this summer.

Flybe

Five based at Manchester which in terms of units is small compared to BHD, SOU & BHX and even EDI will overtake it soon but due to the hub and spoke system in place it was actually the busiest in terms of flights but not sure if that is the same now.
