Jet2 just did a handful of special "Christmas Shopper" flights about this time last year. I don't know what the take up was like though.Friends who've flown to Egypt with Jet2 were less than impressed at the lack of inflight entertainment and the "snugness" of the seats.

Whilst it would be ideal, i really can't see enough demand from its catchment area.
