I suspect it is to fight off Air Arabia. However, the Easyjet flights are Wed/Sat, the Air Arabia is Thu/Sun so no direct overlap.
I did expect this to happen, as the incumbents do tend to warn off new enterants, but I expected that person to be Ryanair against Air Arabia, by moving the LPL-AGA to MAN-AGA, and not because I don't want LPL to have the route, but because that is usually Ryanairs style.

It's cute that Malta making such a big deal of 1 extra flight a week to MAN.
Air Malta will be back flying on behalf of Thomson next summer, and I hear there is a good chance of seeing scheduled flights again, Frankfurt has already been reinstated (cut the same time as MAN). Perhaps this Easyjet expansion is pre empting that return......

Looks like Easyjet adding an aircraft again next summer, as checked in August and there are 13 early departures on Mon/Sat/Sun so far.
Other days need 12 so could be some extra flights added, including new routes as Easyjet have not had a single year yet where no new routes have been announced.

Just tried to work out evening utilisation, bit more tricky with arrivals starting at 1915 and finishing at 0155.
It seems that 13 based are required on a Wednesday too, and this of course will roll into Thursday as they need to go back out again.
This means we are definately on 13 based, with that number required on Mon/Wed/Thu/Sat/Sun.
I'm not sure when the 13th based will kick in, I've not worked that out yet. This year the 12th based arrived around 21/22 July IIRC, so, it's not wide of the mark to assume it could be around the same dates again next year.
Liverpool also increases from 7 to 8 based aircraft. Someone may be able to correct me, but before Easyjet came to MAN, Easyjet based a maximum of 10 aircraft at LPL (may have been 9, as I can't remember if the 10th was based at DSA but using LPL crews?).
Even if it was 10 based, to now have 21 aircraft based in the North West is some impressive growth, and one the 2 airports should be proud of!

How do you know whether an aircraft will be based at the airport or if the route will be operated by an away based aircraft? Is it to do with the flight times, arrival/departure etc?
Good to see easyJet being consistent with growth.

Good question.
It's worked out by counting the number of departures and arrivals.
For me, I work it out on either how many leave first thing in the morning, without giving the aircraft time to come from somewhere else.
For example, there is a 0505 departure to Kephalonia next summer, clearly that aircraft has been in Manchester overnight, thus based.
There is a departure to Belfast at about 0815, but when you look, there is an arrival from BFS 30 minutes earlier, so, that aircraft has clearly come from BFS.
You can also count the late arrivals. Anything after say, 10pm is unlikely to be heading back out again until the next morning, so, will be based.

Thank you for the clarification 👍
No it wouldn't. It would be the very worst form of expansion. What an awful comment. They'd consolidate, reduce costs and employment, reduce competition and worst of all it would be the demise of an historic airline.

I said SHOULD the Monarchy fall
Please do not reconstruct My commnets and respin them.
I have no wish to see Monarch fail but nor do I wish to see dozens of flights disappear from the Manchester schedule!
If the best outcome is Easy taking over those flights so be it.

As you say, we only saw our 12th a/c in July last year. Are we any nearer to finding out what extra based a/c or new routes we may get next summer, or is the situation in the process of being reviewed in the light of Monarch's demise?
I imagine T1 is Terminal capacity at peak periods and not just parking stands. In terms of split based ops, could TCX possibly move its short haul to T2, and what would it take to persuade them? The problem is if MAN can't accommodate an extra 2 easyjet a/c, they are likely to place them elsewhere - at LPL perhaps, or maybe a new base at BHX?
Incidentally, who handled Monarch?
