Very interesting post on LinkedIn by Ralph Anker who is a Content provider for Air Service One regards Jet2 summer 2026 operation. LBA see’s a 2% growth but I’m not sure how that can be unless an aging B737-300 has been swapped with a Boeing 737-800.

Jet2 will be launching flights from London Gatwick this summer with its usual mix of popular leisure destinations. Across all of its UK bases capacity is set to grow by 8% this summer (S26) compared with S25. At eight of its top 20 destinations the number of available seats will be more than 10% higher than in S25.
Among destinations seeing a cut in capacity are Bodrum, Dalaman and Izmir in Turkiye, as well as city-break destinations Krakow, Prague and Rome. New destinations for this summer are La Palma (Spain), Palermo (Italy) and Samos (Greece). As a result, around 70 destinations across mainland Europe are served by the airline from its 14 UK bases this summer.
The airline's biggest UK bases (ranked by seats) are
Manchester (seats up 4% versus 2025),
Birmingham (+4%)
London Stansted (+1%)
Leeds/Bradford (+2%)
East Midlands (+1%)
Newcastle (-2%)
Glasgow (+2%)
Bristol (+1%)
Edinburgh (+2%),
London Gatwick (NEW)
Liverpool (+1%)
London Luton (+44%)
Belfast Int’l (+1%)
Bournemouth (+5%).
Excluding Gatwick and Luton, seat growth across all other airports is just 2%.With over 120 aircraft (mostly Boeing 737-800s and Airbus A321neos), Jet2 is the UK's third biggest airline after British Airways and easyjet.
