Jet2 in my opinion would do Well here. I never use them because they don't fly from here, I would if they did and went where I want to go. Let's not forget they had a base at Blackpool for years, Liverpool would offer a greater demand than there. Silvercity - totally agree. You can never say never about any airline. If you took the argument of not splitting bases, and take it to the Nth degree, why bother with anywhere other than LHR, plus LGW as LHR is full. I actually like TUI, but I have only flown them once from Glasgow to Barbados. If they flew from LPL I would use utilise them as part of my choice from LPL. Jet2 never used for similar reasons. If they choose to ignore customers preferences that's up to them, they have their own business models and I have a choice, so I use it. Just because an airline has a base elsewhere doesnt mean that it cant also be successful here.

I find this whole notion of ‘I will only use airport X’ or ‘I won’t fly with airline Y because they don’t fly here’ so short sighted and so self sabotaging it’s bizzare.
We are lucky in the north west that we have 2 airports within east reach. Within 30-40 mins I could be at either MAN or LPL depending on which itinerary suits me best, and I know it’s a similar story for a few posters here. Some people have to travel 1-2 hours plus just to use one airport.
But to see some won’t use an airline because it doesn’t serve LPL, or a route? So if you wanted to go to say, Marrakesh because it’s been on your bucket list, you either won’t go because it isn’t served from Liverpool, or potentially add hours onto your journey to go via a hub. Your on this planet for a short amount of time and you want to either not go somewhere you actually really want to go, or to waste some of that precious time travelling via a hub just because you are loyal to an airport? Do we realise just how ridiculous that actually sounds when you think about it? Do you honestly think that the airport or airline recognises that loyalty? Do you honestly believe you are more than just a number to them? Another fleshy bag carrying money for them to try and entice from you?
On one hand it’s admirable that you are so brand loyal, but at the same time, is also ridiculous because I can assure you, very very few brands are actually loyal to you. It’s a business. It’s masquerading as something that makes you think it cares about you, when all it cares about is money. And you are wasting experiences or time being filled into thinking it cares.
End of the day, if either LPL or MAN offers a route to where I want to go, I use either. I choose what works for me based on convenience or choice. Never in a million years would I avoid a place ‘just because it isn’t LPL, or MAN, or wherever’.
But by all means, you carry on avoiding a place just because of brand loyalty. I’m sure all of that wasted time, money or lack of travel will all be worth it, honest.

Its really not ridiculous to use a hub, and so many of the MAN fans have banged on for years about LPL not having one, now there is. So it need to be supported. Just as i'm sure you would want the various hub links to be supported at MAN. So when we talk about "short amount of time on the planet " , let just remember how much time is involved using MAN, its not generally a quick and easy experience as has been well reported in various media sources. It not even about brand loyalty, many people choose to use Liverpool for convenience , less stress and the fact they might actually want to show support to this airport and city region, with the jobs created from it.

Well given they have six based at the minute, perhaps that’s your answer?

I think easyJet A319 fleet's is only operating with 3 cabin crew and limited to 150 passengers at the moment. That will be to try and avoid cancellations due to being down a cabin crew member, as well as to be able to plan for added services on the A319 due to greater availability of cabin crew. I presume this will continue until such time as they have enough cabin crew to operate a full schedule. The fiasco with numerous cancellations at the start of the summer season must have had a huge effect on their credibility, so what they did was by limiting cabin crew on the A319 was a smart move given the situation they had got themselves in.
