I always thought that Newcastle was the third largest base for Jet2 in terms of seats available, but it appears from reading all the press releases for summer 18 that East Midlands is larger. The press release says 32 routes and 920,000 seats for summer 18 whereas Newcastle is 31 routes and 880,000 seats with Glasgow close behind on 870,000 seats for summer 18. It be interesting to see how big Stansted will be in Summer 18 too.
Does Jet2 ground handle in house at Newcastle, or is it just check in and customer staff service they have in house at Newcastle? As they have brought all ground handling in house at East Midlands.
