Looking at the cuts in a little bit more detail, including the IT flights, it pans out as follows for early August.


Gatwick - 144 x weekly (Summer 2014 was 155 Scheduled + 28 IT)
Birmingham - 116 x weekly (Summer 2014 was 133 scheduled + 5 IT)
Manchester - 113 x weekly (Summer 2014 was 138 scheduled + 17 IT)
Luton - 59 x weekly (Summer 2014 was 70 scheduled + 1 IT)
Leeds Bradford - Maintains 28 x weekly


This means that overall scheduled services are down from 558 to 460 x weekly, with a further loss of 51 x weekly IT services. (including the closure of the East Midlands base there are 26 dropped scheduled routes, with a further 33 dropped airport pairs on IT services)


Looking at the Regions in more detail .....


Spain.

Down from 314 to 253 x weekly services, cuts on nearly all routes, although Mahon bucks the trend and actually increases from 17 to 20 x weekly services.


Portugal.

Maintains it's 53 x weekly services. Faro maintains it's 48 x weekly services, despite the loss of 6 x weekly services from East Midlands, and now overtakes the previous destinations of Palma, Malaga, Alicante, etc, to become the most popular route in terms of weekly departures on the network.


Turkey.

Down from 67 to 44 x weekly services, again cuts on all three Turkish routes (a further 4 IT flights from Gatwick to Dalaman are also lost, so the net loss is -27 flights)


Italy.

One of the markets that gains from the changes, number of services are up from 34 to 40 x weekly with gains on Naples, Rome and Venice offsetting a loss of 1 x weekly service to Verona.


Africa.

Increases from 26 to 29 x weekly services, with gains on Agadir, Enfidha and Sharm offsetting a decline on flights to Hurghada (there were 3 x IT services to Sharmand 2 x to Hassai in Summer 2014 so overall there is a slight loss in flights)


Cyprus.

A drop from 27 to 18 x weekly services


Greece.

There is no change in the number of scheduled services to Greece (10 x weekly) with the new routes to Preveza, Rhodes and Zante compensating for a loss of flights to Corfu (3 x weekly) and Heraklion (5 x weekly) However, the overall loss of flights to Greece is considerable with 37 IT flights operating in August of 2014.


France.

A small loss of 2 x weekly flights to Nice, will operate 8 x weekly.


Croatia.

Reduces from 15 to 5 x weekly services, with Split dropped from the network and Dubrovnik reducing from 12 to 5 x weekly services.


Malta.

Dropped from the network (had operated 2 x weekly from East Midlands Airport in August 2014)




The other losses are on the IT long haul (4 x weekly to Orlando Sandford and 1 x weekly to Tobago)
