For flight only they've always been more expensive than easyJet whenever I've looked at them. But I'll install the app now just in case things change...

Looks like 4 based aircraft. Massive for the airport getting these in with what look like good frequencies on certain routes as well.
I wonder how EZY & FR will react to this?

Surprised Malaga isn't one of the destinations

Seven places currently unserved from LPL.
Bourgas Funchal Gran Canaria Mahon Paphos Rhodes Zante
Great start! Hopefully they build on this and we see some of the more obscure Greek Islands and Croatia in future. There’s huge scope for this base to grow considering the brand.

Two rotations of four aircraft every day apart from Wednesday where only 3 aircraft are used with two rotations each. Does this indicate another two routes or frequencies to come?

For flight only they've always been more expensive than easyJet whenever I've looked at them. But I'll install the app now just in case things change... You can - if you’re on the the flights only section click the find holidays button and it will bring up a list of package holidays available to book from Liverpool. The routes seem to be catering for the later slots out of Manchester. I’m flying to Gran Canaria in a few weeks departing at 4PM making it an 8PM arrival time with an even later return flight. The Liverpool to Gran Canaria flight is a 10AM departure so I'm guessing some of these routes are to make earlier flights available to some of the destinations served once daily in the afternoon from Manchester. Could be wrong though

Fantastic news for Liverpool, long overdue in my opinion.
It will be interesting to see how Easyjet (particularly Easyjet holidays) react to this news. Jet2 aren’t silly, and they have big aspirations to become the leading tour operator, this base isn’t about transferring passengers from Manchester to Liverpool, it will be about grabbing the market share from the likes of Easyjet who are already using Liverpool. Will there be a fight back from Easyjet? Or will they get the hump? The Jet2 juggernaut is massive in the North West so Easyjet holidays will certainly be up against it.
2024 is going to be an interesting year. But regardless of the future, right now it’s great news and with Jet2 now in, the future will be one of decent sustained growth from them.
