LS also has to integrate BLK's flying into the MAN operation for next
summer's forward bookings and hopefully it'll swell those ALC and other routes
for them. Having a people mover on the strength is a no-brainer and the A330-343
fits the bill nicely.
Yes MAN will gain PAX from Blackpool's closure. But the BLK based 737-300 jets will now be based at MAN.
Good load factors at BLK, but LS managed with two based 737/300.
