Only gaps I can see in the Jet2 2024 timetable is on Wednesdays where one of the aircraft appears too do nothing all day.

That was one of the routes that was going to start but then covid came and it was removed from sale. So could be it!

Where do they fly to on Wednesday's from other bases?

[inOban]

At EDI, there's always been a day when one frame is rested, I had assumed for maintenance. Usually Wednesday although I think it was Tuesday in S22

Izmir was also planned and on sale, but never started. I was booked on one of the flights.

No Krakow ... have Ryanair won that battle?

[BFS BHD]

Looks like Ryanair is delaying the opening of the base by two days. Was meant to start 26th March now looking like all based flights will now start 28th March with non based still starting 26th.

Yea the Saturday flights where added on Thursday.

Will be interesting to see what Ryanair have planned for their first winter season back for W23/24. I say TFS, ACE & LPA are most likely routes if any new ones are added. Hopefully they put W23/24 on sale soon!

[True Blue]

I see Bfs is forecasting that they will break the 2019 pax numbers this year. If it happens that would be a fantastic recovery.
