While international expansion is preferred this is not to be sniffed at. Combined BA and easyJet are offering 328,369 additional seats this winter.

If this increase continues into the summer and combined with the Jet2 and TUI increases, could we reach 1,000,000 additional seats for 2024?

Thanks for sharing southflyer.

This is great news as it's a significant increase flights and overall passenger capacity. Passenger growth this coming winter has the potential to be very impressive.

Give or take the odd cancellation, the summer service has typically been 55 flights per week. I would think the extra comes from using slots which are summer only routes to Europe and turning them into additional winter domestics. Interestingly, BA are also taking back slots at Gatwick, which are currently leased to Easyjet, so may have some scope to increase there as well.
