Leeds Bradford: EasyJet Route News & Schedule Updates

[LBAYORKIE]

It seems that the system used by LBA reacts to the first two letters of the flight code as New England Airlines' code is EJ, and easyJet Europe EJU. It's not the first time new airlines here are shown incorrectly and it's something they really should sort out.

I agree it looks really amateur when they cant get the little things right.

Apologies not linked to Easyjet, but has anyone ever heard of Estelar Latinoamerica C.A? In LBA language, it's Enter Air.

That’s Caracas!

So how do LBA get Enter Air and Estelar Latinoamerica confused? Enter Air flight code is E4 or ENT, and Latinoemerica is ES or ETR.

No excuse.

Clearly they just Enter the wrong code. Caracas if you ask me!

Is it an issue worthy.of raising at the next ACC meeting? Totally unprofessional and surely easily rectifiable.

I've raised it there in the past and in writing. They say they were referring it to the people who can deal with it, whoever they are, and nothing happens. Perhaps if lots of people complained about it they might do something .

Who would be the best contact to target, WH? Would it fall under the remit of the marketing department?

I really don't know. Its not my contact Charles Johnson as he deals with the terminal extension project etc. As it's been ongoing so long and related to airlines, maybe the boss, Vincent Hodder as he is now acting as Aviation Director, and if it's not him, he might be able to crack the whip with whoever does it (IT department?) seeing as it applies to both easyJet Europe and Enter Air. It seems to be a regular occurrence with new carriers here ever since the current website was introduced.

You stole my joke. See you in court!

Apologies. Just trial and error!

ch-aviation reports the following.

UK’s easyJet to scrap some domestic flights over tax hike: easyJet (London Luton) will scrap some of its domestic flights in the United Kingdom after the country announced an increase in air passenger duty (APD) in its autumn budget, The Telegraph reported.

The carrier warned that rising prices will likely lead to lower demand, meaning some flights will become moot, according to incoming CEO and incumbent CFO Kenton Jarvis. The move is “disappointing” and will “tax the working person”, he added.

I think it is "sabre rattling" by easyJet (similar to Ryanair). The increase will be very small compared with the overall cost of a ticket.

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

Only I agree with them. Typical morons in Labour have no idea the impact such a rise would have and quite frankly if there is no protest by easyJet and Ryanair it'll just give them the green light to add further increases to APD.

And as Michael O'Leary said you'd think as the government of an Island nation you'd look at ways of encouraging growth and one of those is in aviation. Sadly we've got morons running the country.

Global airline revenues to surpass $1 trillion in 2025, Iata forecasts | Travel Weekly

Air passenger numbers to exceed five billion for first time

Meanwhile this. Aviation is 1% of the world's economy and probably going to be worth more in years to come. But the if the current chosen WEF representative in No.10 and the rest of the idiots have their way we'll have no aviation sector. They'll destroy it.

Given that we have no mainland domestic services I doubt we would be affected. The likes of BRS, NCL, EDI, GLA or LTN might be concerned.

Not now we don't but there's the talk of domestic services coming, operating to various mainland airports with a certain tartan airline,.and these additional costs are another potential hurdle to jump when trying to secure this airline and these routes.

I was just trying to keep this Easyjet relevant

Easyjets LBA-BFS service appears to have seen some reductions for S25. The service will now operate only 3x weekly for some selected periods

Perhaps they weren't kidding when threatening a reduction in domestic flights thanks to the Governments passenger tax? Threat last week, reduction appears this week?

 

[Finger66]

Suspect Emerald will be quite happy though, assuming the APD rise doesn't affect overall pax numbers flying between LBA and Belfast. Have any other airports seen a cut in their U2 BFS frequency do we know?

 

[SierraHotel]

BHX has, for starters.
