Just been checking STN Wiki page and Monastir Habib Bourguiba International Airport is down as starting May 05th 2018, this is obviously not happening as not in the booking section of Jet2 website, however could it be an error and should read 2019, I know nothing has officially been announced for summer 2019 but just thought I would share my findings.

Monastir would be an odd choice seeing that the holiday operators now use Enfidha, and had done for a few years before the break in flights.

Looks as if Bourgas is to be Jet2's newest destination, schedules loaded for Summer 2019 from:
MAN - x2 weekly
BHX - x2 weekly
GLA - x1 weekly
EDI - x1 weekly
LBA - x1 weekly
NCL, BFS, EMA are listed but yet to show schedules. STN is not listed
A quick dig through the Jet2 booking engine also suggests that the following will be new routes:
Izmir:
MAN - x2 weekly
BHX, GLA, LBA, NCL - x1 weekly
Chania:
MAN - x2 weekly
BHX, LBA - x1 weekly
Lleida seems to be a new ski route from Stansted for W18/19
Very pleasing in my opinion!

So most peoples suspicions were right about BOJ. Chania (CHQ) also seemed a decnt option given its size, operations at HER and that FR have just pulled out. Could that have been a last minute addition?
As for Izmir, didn't see that coming, but with the Turkish Revival, not surprising.
Not this year it seems, maybe for 2020?

Wonder why Stansted 2019 is taking so long to be announced I did hear last year that they were planning a big base increase with upto 14 based aircraft for peak summer 19 not sure if this will still be the case with the utilisation on based aircraft from ALC and PMI but I’m still expecting big things for Stansted just have to wait a bit longer to find out the details.

Also 14 aircraft will require a substantial increase on a vast amount of routes. Will the market sustain that.

Bit of a strange press release and perhaps Jet2 may be trying to take a flyer on other airlines but not committing to transfer of all routes at this time. Jet2 were the only airline that publicly backed Covera and put out a press release several years ago that they were transferring imminently to Corvera and that never happened as the airport never opened. With the operational concession removed from the previous company a few months ago, Corvera now has to re-undertake approvals procedure for the new operator AENA to open Corvera. The previous concessionary is now suing for damages and local land owners have not been paid for land taken to build the airport, so a lot of legal arguments still ongoing. A lot of the equipment at Corvera is obsolete and has not been maintained so the airport needs a complete survey. Knowing how things move over here in this region, slowly, no one can predict when approvals will be given and politicians have only declared Corvera will be operational from the end of the year - which might have something to do with regional elections and to look good. Operational or ready for a airline to fly in/out could be two different timescales. Also worth noting that a plane no bigger than a twin prop has landed at Corvera so at some point an airline will have to test the airport with a passenger plane.

with only the 2 routes being on sale for now i would imagine (like others have suggested) they're dipping their toe in the water. If things go well, we may yet see the re-introduction of NCL/EDI, maybe even more?
Still think it's a totally bonkers airport so for now, well done to Jet2 for commiting but don't be surprised if things don't work out like MJV did
