easyJet

[White Heather]

I haven’t seen any trends to suggest that easyjet will enter deep nights, that’s not to say they won’t, regarding the CLEUD issue directly, I cannot imagine a scenario where such large investment packages could be secured if there was any concern that they’d be artificially capped and limited by some archaic night quotas. It’s nonsensical on all fronts.

I agree entirely but thanks to the anti airport lobby and a poorly drafted planning approval, plus a council planning department that is in defensive mode, we are where we are. And they don't have to operste in deep night to count against night quotas. 0600-0700 will do, and anytime after 2300.

Of course, behind the scenes things may be changing but what I'm saying is what's been said at the ACC by airport management. There's a reason why they're doing what they are to win the CLEUD argument.

Given the vast difference in population, should’ve been a cake walk getting easyJet in over NCL. But another year of wait it is, I suppose.

The terminal isn't complete only the extension. This means the capacity isn't there yet.

The terminal isn't complete only the extension. This means the capacity isn't there yet.

Not only that but sections of the terminal will be partitioned off for building works so there's bound to be some pinch points and occasional disruption. I suspect coping with what we have will be tricky until everything's done.

Something to consider is that Easy may announce something for LBA as part of the grand opening of the extension(phase 1). That would allow sufficient lead time for sales for when the terminal is fully complete, and give a big announcement for LBA’s future.

Not true. NCL was always naturally the next base because of its history with easyJet. It’s also quite remote from elsewhere which means they don’t have to compete with themselves over the traffic.

LBA is a completely different consideration in spite of its larger immediate catchment area. Along with the factors Aviador and White Heather have outlined, the airport has never had much of an easyJet presence until recently, it’s also fairly close to MAN and LPL. So to suggest that it’s a cake walk is disingenuous.

Good to see this being changed to a Saturday service and good to see it extended for 6 weeks, unlike last year changing days also.

Hope to see more from EZY.

PMI wouldn't hold my breath for Winter, however AGP would be welcome.

C'mon EZY give us AMS & ALC!

Little dash of orange here and there will help. Especially on Wednesdays in the dead of winter.

Good to see continued expansion from easy at LBA!

 

[LBA4EVER]

excellent news from easyjet with the announcement of BCN, come on easy, you no you want to!!

 

[Finger66]

Whilst this is great news to help easyJet continue to test the water at LBA, and with good days and times of op, but without meaning to be too negative, it's another safe route that is already served. And it's a safe route suffering mass tourist protests. I really do hope that once we get a U2 base that they finally try something different.
All the above said I am still really pleased to see whatever U2 expansion comes out way.
Amsterdam on its way I wonder........

 

[gulftraveller]

A new base would follow the same pattern as other new/newer bases such as SEN or BHX. It would almost certainly be safe EasyJet Holidays routes for the first few seasons. No doubt AMS would be on that list.

Credit where it’s due as it looks like EasyJet have done there home work and seen gaping gap in the market once again.

The Leeds - Barcelona route is underserved at just 2x weekly Boeing 737-300’s by jet2 & they don’t operate the route year round either with no service from late November to mid February.
