It's called ACMI - keep the books tight with the main types you operate and wet lease in the types that you will not operate more than 1 of.
Having studied the load factors by month for the last 12 months - you certainly don't need a single type on the GCI / LGW route you need a winter wet lease of 1 type and a summer wet lease of a second type - with an extra 40 seats per sector especially at weekends and holiday periods
