Jet2 LBA high Summer service update.
Recent announcement of 1 extra weekly service to both Kos and Corfu. Good news but tempered by that the fact that Zante that was served 4x per week in Summer '17 will now be served just twice a week (a further reduction from the proposed 3x per week).
Good news is that Alicante goes up to 16 services per week in high Summer '18 but tempered by the fact that Palma previously announced to be up 2 flights per week on Summer '17 (to 21x per week) reverts back to 19 services per week.
Basically it is tinkering at the edges which is to be expected at a heavily constrained airport that has induced demand due to its hugely less than ideal location.
Jet2 passenger numbers will be up next year at LBA but will passenger numbers decline at LBA?
Currently 11 additional LS arrivals/departures per week (high Summer '18 over high Summer '17). A net gain of zero new routes. This after the loss of two based Monarch airframes each running multiple services each day.
