Awesome news, slowly but surely we are getting an Easyjet network that doesn't just concentrate on the sun routes, AGP, PMI etc.

Looking forward to seeing more European cities sooooooooooooooooooooooooon

Confirmed A21N

There should be more to come but not just cities

 

[Karl C]

Therefore implying sun routes. Will these be W patterns or from EU bases?

Yeah a new route to LPA (Gran Canaria) would be great ??

I’ve just booked 28th December till 4th Jan. 33% Cheaper than Ryanair! Great to see more choice to LIS

So the European easyJet bases we don't have flights to yet are:

Barcelona
Basel (EZY Swiss)
Berlin
Bordeaux
Lyon
Milan MXP (rumoured at some point)
Naples
Nice
Paris CDG & ORY (rumoured at some point)
Porto
Toulouse
Venice

Depends on your point of you, but I'd personally count all of them as cities.

So here's my particular wishlist for EasyJet sun routes at BHX....

BHX - ACE
BHX - LPA
BHX - KLX
BHX - DLM
BHX - LCA
BHX - TLV*
BHX - JMK

Not beyond the bounds of reason.....

None are bases - so no

 

[Karl C]

Hence the 'wishlist'.....its most likely gonna be the well trodden shorter holiday routes to ALC, CFU, ZTH etc. No routes like me wishlist until there's a base at BHX.

Out of all of these, only Naples is really a semi-sun route. So which sun routes is Ian talking about that aren't cities but have a base in Europe?

If I'm remembering correctly easyJet planned on launching a Naples to BHX route back in 2020 I think but never materialised presumably because of the pandemic...

Yes that's correct.

Hopefully Easyjet have a base here soon. Does Easyjet have any plans for the A319-NEO

Not at present they don’t. There aren’t many A319neo orders out there. Seems the 320 and 321 neo are a more popular choice for airlines.

 

[Nethercote2019]

I thought it was Genoa .. ?

 

[Coathanger16]

As mentioned, no plans for it. Latest order they placed was just under a month ago, with no orders for the A319NEO, and actually converting some A320NEO to A321NEOs.

Easyjet orders 56 A320 neo Family aircraft – Business Traveller

The order includes 18 of the larger A321 neo variant which can accommodate up to 235 passengers…

www.businesstraveller.com

Generally speaking, there's too much of an overlap with the A220. The maximum seating for the A319NEO is 160, exactly the same at the A220-300.

Not sure how they compare efficiency wise, but the A319NEO has only 87 orders vs the 670 for the A220-300.

 

[DarloPlaneBoy]

Ah right I can't imagine Easyjet wanting the A220-300 aka CS300 but as they have the A319-100 they may look at the A319-NEO for more fuel efficency and greener maybe

The A319s are being phased out in favour of A320 and A321s. Pretty sure Easyjet don't have any plans for a smaller aircraft than the A320 in the future.

Oh ok

Definitely Naples was down to operate twice weekly Friday and Monday afternoons starting May 21 perfect for a weekend break but covid intervened.
Hopefully it will happen soon.

Easy look our best bet at present to expand our European network in any meaningful way and I wonder if Ryanair will react in any way as in expand or have a wobbly, you can't second guess them!

 

[HPsauce]

Plenty of scope for both Ryanair and easyJet to open up routes across Europe. So long as they don't duplicate too much. Valencia, Oslo, Hannover, Stuttgart, Hamburg and Gibraltar are all former BHX destinations.
