I haven't been keeping an exact count, but I don't think the increases offered by Jet2 etc anywhere near matches the number of ZB flights lost. Hardly surprising: one of the reasons Monarch folded was that, looking forward, the UK-origin passenger market is looking very fragile as the economy virtually flatlines. A lot of business plans must have assumed continuing near double digit growth.
