Jet 2 at STN
STN is an existing base - a carry over from the Channel Express days where G-CELP is based to operate various ad-hoc charter duties. Not sure whether there are any plans to expand this side of the business, but would be surprised if they rolled out a mainstream scheduled operation from there simply given the competition in that part of the world.
The South-Eastern part of the North of England catchment area is where they have arguably the least presence and if they are looking to expand, there is some logic to DSA and HUY being on the rumoured 'new base' list. One imagines if MAG have some medium term plan to dispose of HUY, then the investment in getting a low-cost operator established now will probably generate a disproportionate increase in the selling price a few years down the line. After all, an airport with .75m - 1m pax p/a and a based operator is going to be infinitely more attractive than 0.4m and a few summer charters.

Noticed within the detail of the MAN-PRG route announced today that the Sunday service actually operates on a 'w' leg into MAN. As yet, none of the other UK schedules into PRG show timings to reflect they are the source of this aircraft, which may add fuel to the fire that another base is in the pipeline....and that one of it's destinations will be PRG. Looks like it needs an aircraft away from the UK base at about 12:00 and routes xxx-PRG-MAN-PRG-xxx, getting back into the UK at 22:30 - 23:00.

It's a new LoCo special: doesn't go anywhere, just collects taxes for Gordon Brown and generates CO2 emissions to annoy the Treehuggers

Where would they fly to? None of their current bases look likely. They already tried Belfast, but that was cancelled before it even began. I very much doubt that there would be demand for Blackpool, especially with Ryanair reinstating Liverpool back up to daily. Aer Lingus are starting Manchester in direct competition with WW so no room for a third carrier there. Leeds almost definitely doesn't have enough traffic to sustain two carriers. Edinburgh might be a possibility. Aer Arann have been very successful on the route, and now have ten flights per week. They seem to achieve very good loads, and yield must good considering the fares they're charging. Jet 2 are rumoured to be launching a new base in the new year, so maybe Cork will gat a service from there??

Would like to see Jet2 at ABZ now we are getting a longer runway at long last & expanded international facilities.
Doubt it'll happen though, despite the continued strong growth we are getting up here.

Could Teeside be the next base. Jet2 are always full of surprises! Now that BMIBaby have pulled the plug, the Northern airline could find a market, just like they did at once deserted Blackpool.

Sorry. Completely forgot about them!
There is Liverpool?!!
They would certainly get 'wasted' at LPL! Ryanair and easyJet would have a field day burrying Jet2 into the ground!
I think that either Norwich or a Highland airport will get chosen.

Cant see a 75 at BLK for this summer maybe next.
Probably a couple of units in Ncl looking at the programme.
Can only see 7-8 75s ready in time for summer! Lots of subs I guess.
So I will be surprised if any new bases soon.
