Still no sign of Jet2 for Summer 2020, anyone know whats going on?
This is very late for them, normally (based on last few summer seasons) the whole programme is on, with any new routes by the end of May. we're now 2 weeks past that point

Looks like Jet2 on sale now for S20 including new service to Izmir on Tuesday - nice addition given the popularity of Turkey just now - not sure there has ever been a flight to Izmir before from Edinburgh?

As far as I can see, two dropped routes (Almeria and Kefalonia, I think), a few dropped rotations to Spain, but increased flights to the Canaries and the existing Turkish destinations

Yes looking at Jet2 S20 in June/July there is 84 weekly flights, 2 of those are away based and 84 weekly flights means 6 aircraft doing 2 rotations a day, so I expect at least 2 more new routes or frequency increases.

Remember that Tuesday is usually programmed for one less aircraft due to the risk of the Monday FNC still being somewhere down south trying to get the pax to FNC due weather.

Jet2 have, or aim to have, a handful of standby aircraft. Leaving gaps on a Tuesday is commercial suicide especially from an airline which has more standby aircraft then any UK airline. Not only that - how many times has FNC gone wrong in the last 6 months? Hardly ever. Why loose potential revenue due to the "potential" of something go wrong in your programme?

Tuesday having 1 less aircraft programmed to fly has nothing to do with FNC. It’s a maintenance day - 1 aircraft goes through a check which is rotated between aircraft each week. On some occasions this maintenance can be cancelled at short notice when there is mass disruption within the fleet however this is only ever really during the winter months. Normally during the summer due to the aircraft flying so much the maintenance needs to happen.

I wasn't wrong! 5 a/c leave in the first wave, and have a second rotation in the afternoon (one of which is the Funchal flight). The sixth has a single duty, to Zakynthos at 11.05.

EDIT: upon checking, the GRO flight seems to be operated by a MAN aircraft that positions up, operates EDI-GRO-EDI, then positions back to MAN. Seems a little inefficient?

based on published schedules/ estimates, a MANGRO sector is 2hr 30m and EDIGRO is 2hr 50m, so once turnarounds factored in, not enough for 1 crew to operate all 4.
1st crew: MAN-GRO-EDI
2nd crew: EDI-GRO-MAN
Cost of taxis to move crew to/from no doubt be less than positioning costs.
If they have to re-position the aircraft for the EDIGRO rotation, the aircraft would surely be free to do something like that.
Having said that i wouldn't want to be one of that crew facing a 3hr taxi ride home. Swings and Roundabouts methinks

I wonder if Easyjet will announce some new services for W19/S20 seeing as they are celebrating 25 years at the airport, would be nice to see them expanding again.

celebrating 50 years? As EasyJet is only 24yr Old do you mean 25 Summers and 25 Winters (Including the upcoming seasons)?
I thought exactly that!
Any growth is likely to be modest - probably just the one new route for this winter. .Follow one of the Bard's more famous works starring two characters from the phonetic alphabet and see where you end up.
