WOW, lbia is going to be very busy from next summer with jet2 increases, british airways four times a day, thomson holidays, thomas cook, PIA, ryanair and maybe easyjet will expand next...........will need more apron space soon!!!!!!!!

Thomas cook look to be heading for the door. Easy are quite happy with current operations and it will be MAN>LBA for the next 5 years. Jet2's increases are using a fourth 757 thus freeing up 737 to operate different routes increase offerings on others. Jet2s expansion is not very much, more just securing up the market share up at lbia.
