Good news day no doubt about it so being optimistic or maybe greedy hopefully must be looking at a winter programme to the Canaries as i think there will be a huge demand for winter sun covid provided.

Also while dreaming Berlin, Milan, Paris and maybe say Prague then half a chance of setting up a base but anyway promising news and it looks like Mr Bartons previous relationship with EasyJet at Luton is slowly but surely paying dividends

 

[Vile8er]

Great news indeed. Presumably these will be on away based aircraft?

 

[Wrightfly73]

Probably the best bit of news in years for BHX! Can't believe it!

 

[Ray Finkle]

Great news indeed. Presumably these will be on away based aircraft?

Yes they're 'W' patterns with other bases.

 

[Glenn Eldridge]

Will this see easyjet surpass Wizzair as the biggest operator with no based aircraft?

Absolutely fantastic news for the airport, was hoping Madrid would be in there too

 

[Ray Finkle]

easyjet 10 routes with 64x weekly flights.

Wizz 11 routes with 26x weekly flights.

So Wizz win on destinations served but easyjet with more weekly flights by far.

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

And Jet2?

 

[Brum X]

EasyJet to PMI ALC AGP FAO CFU all now bookable !
The futures bright

The future is Orange, Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Just checking this is not an April Fool ??? Lol

 

[Brum X]

Hope they add LPA in the future as I will then have a choice between Jet 2 and Easyjet.

Ryanair, No No

Ryanair, No No

Ditto on that one

 

[HPsauce]

Hopefully when normality returns, we will see much more from Easyjet and Wizz. A base from both would be the dream scenario. Certainly the best news for a long time for BHX. Too much excitement for one day!.

The schedule as it currently stands above. Interesting to see that on most weekday mornings there will be3 easyjet aircraft on the ground at the same time - even if only for 15 mins or so. Also it seems GVA is reduced from 3x weekly to 2x weekly but that still makes 63x weekly departures... Friday seems the most and Saturday the least....

I note that none of the patterns involve BRS-based aircraft - yet - but, according to a recent post on the BRS easyJet thread, a number of easyJet BRS routes including some to the sun have been reduced in frequency this year in peak summer.

Although CAA surveys down the years show that BRS doesn't take a huge number of passengers generally from the West Midlands, the post-pandemic scene could see a repositioning of air travel from regional airports

A BHX easyJet base looks increasingly likely and it might be that BHX's gain in this will turn out to be BRS's loss in the sense that the latter's base might not grow further or might even recede in size a bit. The fact that Jet2 is to open a BRS base could lead easyJet to think that Jet2 will take some of its BRS passengers, so why not grow at BHX and try to take some of Jet2's there?

Another thing about BRS is that if it loses its expansion planning application appeal it will be permanently capped at 10 mppa, a figure it was expected to have reached by the end of this year had the pandemic not intruded.

So the Orange glow will probably become much brighter in the West Midlands as (we hope) the pandemic dims.

 

[Brum X]

I wonder if Easyjet and Ryanair will battle it out at the old Eurohub terminal now that Flybe have gone. It would make sense to have them both in this part of the airport.

Once restrictions are lifted, Weatherspoons will be a gold mine with all these passengers, he he he

 

[JENNYJET]

Can those two live together? I feel a pre eruption rumbling in o'Leary's office, he cannot be happy!

 

[Nethercote2019]

Mr Oleary has had the same opportunities as everyone & probably more than most, but not taken up the offer, so good luck to jet2 wizz easy Turkish euro wings etc & here’s hoping for more

 

[thunderchild]

Really good news but does anyone else think it’s ironic that it’s taken a global pandemic and air travel at an all time low for EasyJet to suddenly take a real interest in BHX?

 

[Nethercote2019]

I think it maybe more to do with Jet 2 turning up at Bristol..... ?
