Aeroflot to Moscow (considering they picked up flights from Gatwick to Moscow from easyJet, surprised they haven't done the same at MAN)
Thoughts?
LOT to Warsaw has a great deal of competition from across the north of the UK as do many routes to Poland. The routes are basically sewn up by Ryanair and Wizz I believe.
Moscow requires a visa which is a big turn off for many in terms of cost and hassle which proved a problem for EZY. The route was basically a victim of the downturn in UK-Russia relations. I believe Ukraine allows visa free access for EU citizens which is good for UK citizens (for the moment anyway).
