Leeds Bradford: EasyJet Flights, New Routes & Schedule Updates

[752]

Another bunch of easy routes have been announced today. nothing from LBA. worrying now.

 

[Finger66]

ACC meeting at 2pm today I believe so hopefully WH will be able to report soon after that has finished - time permitting for her of course

 

[Statto]

On the basis the airport - for good reason - are usually very tight lipped about their commercial relations, what are we realistically expecting from the consultative committee?

On the basis the airport - for good reason - are usually very tight lipped about their commercial relations, what are we realistically expecting from the consultative committee?

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect the airport to at least acknowledge the situation. Nobody is asking for commercially sensitive details or a running commentary on negotiations with easyJet, but when several established routes are no longer available for sale, that is clearly a matter of interest to passengers, businesses and stakeholders.

A simple acknowledgement that the routes are currently unavailable for booking, together with an indication of whether discussions are ongoing, would provide clarity without compromising commercial confidentiality. Refusing to comment altogether simply creates a vacuum that fuels speculation.

Hiding behind “commercial confidentiality” to avoid even acknowledging an obvious issue is the sort of response many would associate with DSA and the clowns running the show there, not Leeds. LBA has generally been more open and pragmatic in its engagement with stakeholders, and it is entirely reasonable to expect some recognition of a development that could have implications for the airport’s route network.

Nobody is asking for confidential details. They are simply asking the airport to acknowledge what is already visible to the public and provide whatever reassurance it reasonably can.

Clearly something awry between LBA and U2😕

They’re all bases though, except NQY. Stands to reason that the bases will see the network reshuffles.

They’re all bases though, except NQY. Stands to reason that the bases will see the network reshuffles.

The non base routes look to be focused on Geneva, Newquay and Isle of Man.

I know its frustrating but at least LBA does have an Easyjet presence, some other airports aren't blessed with that.

 

[dmrodgers]

Sorry to say this but it is looking more and more like the end of easyJet act LBA as they concentrate and expand services at other UK airports. Yesterday's consultative council meeting didn't inspire any confidence in the expansion of the base other than saying the three routes we still have were doing OK. Long term I can only see these routes going especially as easy are to phase out their A319 fleet by September 2029. I hope not but this is like the railways 'closure by stealth'.

 

[YorkshireLad]

To be honest, I maybe been negative but I can’t see Barcelona and Paris lasting too much longer either on this basis.

Paris is doing fine - its biggest barrier is easyJet constantly changing between A319s and A320s, restricting some load potential
I’m waiting to see how Barcelona develops, loads have picked up nicely recently and I’m hoping it remains that way

Honestly, I often wish easyJet would get out of their own way, Barcelona has suffered from some dreadful flight times affecting Wednesday outbounds (now sorted) and, while the new Monday inbounds from Palma are decently loaded, the outbound loads are dreadful, even lower than the already light Ryanair Monday evening outbounds which it competes directly with

 

[Speedbird1]

Looks like we may lose Paris CDG from June onwards. Hoping that it reappears in the Winter schedules when demand for city breaks maybe stronger I guess.

Another blow though and looks more and more likely that easyJet aren’t growing at Leeds.

 

[YorkshireLad]

That completely baffles me - the loads to Paris are strong, and I believe would be even stronger if easyJet didn't keep swapping between A319s and A320s

 

[SierraHotel]

So potentially down to 2 routes (BFS and BCN) ex LBA from S27 onwards. Extremely dissapointing.

 

[Finger66]

Nothing showing for last week of Feb and most of March either so I think we can safely say CDG is for the axe too. As others are saying it is extremely disappointing. Perhaps even worrying. Mind you, come W27/28 Jet2 will have to be using B738s on the route but would be good to have some competition.
Unless there is an unrelated announcement to come, which in the current climate I feel is unlikely

 

[SierraHotel]

7.5m pax by 2030 is looking increasingly fanciful. As is the prospect of an EZY base at LBA.
