Appears that Smartwings are going to codeshare with EUJet, Smartwings will stop flying to LGW, and instead fly to Manston.
The flight will only operate 3 times a week according to the Smartwings timetable, cant see this been any more of a success than the LGW service, Easy or no Easy!

T5 we have seen to many times in the recent past airlines doing things that we know wont work but they still think they will. This may well just be another example. I dont think Smartwings are the smartest airline anyway. They pulled out of Dublin for the summer (peak season) and will be back in the winter. It usually works the other way around.
Yeah, but let’s bear in mind that they only have access to so many aircraft. It is likely that the aircraft that would normally fly to Dublin are going to go somewhere else for the Summer, somewhere where there is even more demand for the flights. When there there is no more demand in the Winter, extra flights will stop and Dublin will get its flight back.

I would have thought the same as you two and that is that it surely cannot work. But if they didn’t think it was going to benefit them, they wouldn’t be replacing Gatwick with Manston.

Manston!!
Why Manston. OK the transport links are “slowly” improving, but LGW would seem a much more viable option for buisness. Well they’ll have to prove me wrong :p
