Jet2 announcement that it will fly to Lisbon from a number of U.K. AIRPORTS was said by the company to the travel trade paper a few days ago.
there will also be another destination going on sale
Lisbon was on the Airports wish list

Interesting... what are the chances of this being the last TUI 757 to visit? Presumably they would all be gone by now if it hadn't been for the MAX ..

Has anyone noticed Jet2 seem to have dropped a NCL to CFU from their schedule for 2020 - in the 2019 summer season they flew Mondays and Tuesdays (previously Mondays and Fridays) this has been reduced to just Mondays next year.
Thomas Cook provided 3 a week of this route I believe in Summer 2019 - none of which are being replaced - some of the prices for 2020 with the remaining providers (ie TUI) is eyewatering.

in the “old” days Tuesday was never a Corfu day and in fact the airport was very quiet but Jet2 had flights from about 3 bases - perhaps if these are gone too then Tuesday and Corfu don’t go - it may not be a NCL issue.

I think the Tuesday flight was dropped in the first release for 2020. I noted because we went on it this summer. Although full both ways in August it appeared to have loads more availability in the weeks leading up to departure than the Monday flight which was often sold out. Perhaps more money to be made on the Turkish flight thtat I think has replaced it.

Good points - we do NCL - CFU several times a year - we were spoilt for choice this year and getting flights for £40-50 each way on some occasions, sadly now we've lost 1x Jet2 and 3x TCX on this route some are as high as £700 return at peak 2020 - cheaper to do NCL>LHR>CFU!
Purely for selfish reasons I hope another operator adds capacity. As you say, other routes will probably make more revenue. Surprised Easyjet only has 1 a week to this destination,

Bdaily reporting that for winter 2020 in addition to TUI adding SSH, there will be a Friday flight to HRG, Sunday to ACE and Monday to Enfida. Would appear to be second based aircraft Fri - Mon?
From the 7th November 2020 TUI weekly flights to Sharm El Sheikh will be operating on Saturdays from Newcastle Airport. As well as Sharm El Sheikh for winter 2020, the holiday company will also be introducing new routes to Tunisia (departing weekly on a Monday) and Hurghada (departing weekly on a Friday). TUI have also added 10 and 11 night holidays to Lanzarote with the addition of a weekly flight operating every Sunday from Newcastle airport, giving holidaymakers from the North East more flexibility

Wonder if a return to Newcastle could be on the cards following expansion of Trans Atlantic services, with the acquisition of 50 new A321XLR aircraft. As stated in the article this number of 50 new A321XLRs exceed requirements only to replace their 757 Transatlantic fleet..
From the attached link article:
"What Will United Use A321XLRs For?
Many of us expected that United would order the A321XLR, because it’s a one-of-a-kind airplane. United’s 757 fleet is aging (their 757s are an average of 22 years old), and they need to replace them.
United notes that they plan to use the A321XLR largely for transatlantic flights out of Washington and Newark, with the possibility of serving additional destinations in Europe.
…. If that plan sticks, then it does in fact seem like United plans to significantly expand transatlantic operations with narrow body aircraft. That’s because they don’t need 50 A321XLRs to replace their current transatlantic 757 operations."
