Believe to be correct. EWR operation from all but LBA. Other routes i believe it to operate are TFS & ACE looking at seat maps.

Zadar now bookable for 2020 twice weekly on Wednesdays and Sundays. Preveza is once weekly on Sundays.

Jet2 are starting the VRN flights early next year.

MAN-VRN will operate from 15/02, weekly on Saturdays, throughout the rest of February, March, April before increasing to twice weekly for the Summer season. Looks like Jet2 are taking advantage of the ski season in the Italian alps.

Quite impressed they've managed to put that together already, though given Thomas Cook's problems weren't exactly a secret they might have had plans in place for a while. Helps that the season is ending now in some destinations so they have aircraft available.

I'm glad Jet2 is stepping into fill some gaps even with all the pricing controversy, hopefully they are creating some more jobs in the process.

Jet2 have put a new route to Skiathos on sale for next summer, twice weekly. Also other additional flights mostly to Spain and Turkey. I think it amounts to about two extra aircraft.

Jet2 announcement

https://www.jet2.com/News/Huge_expansion_announced_at_Manchester_Airport_for_Summer_20/

It mentions four aircraft, but the additions to the timetable I think add up to somewhere in the region of 30 extra weekly departures in August, which would usually be two aircraft if they manage two return trips each day?

Those are only the summer sun routes as there flights to Prague, Sofia etc

I've included the other routes - Prague actually has a reduction to 2 weekly for the summer holidays. As far as I'm aware Jet2 don't serve Sofia? There are reports online of them also adding Mytilene next summer, but no evidence on Jet2's own website.

Sorry meant Budapest
