Onwards and upwards!!.
I try to ignore the BBC as much as possible. They are so negative!.
However an interview with Mr Barton possibly on Midlands Today?.

Familiar and new destinations in the mix then!

Interesting statistics in the Simple Flying article:

https://simpleflying.com/easyjet-new-birmingham-base-three-a320s/

Already grown from ~400,000 seats in 2019 up to just under 1.4 million this year (3x more)

With the new base, at the moment easyJet will overtake TUI to become the 3rd largest operator after Ryanair and Jet2.

Did somebody mention orange tails and a Zebra coming soon

HAPPY THURSDAY EVERYBODY ;-) MY DREAM HAS FINALLY COME TRUE, WELL DONE TO ALL INVOLVED.

I am not surprised at all that they have finally woken up to BHX. I have flown with them twice in the last 10 months, to Edinburgh and to Amsterdam and both flights were full there and back.

Looking forward to seeing Easyjet flights to Madrid, Berlin, Athens and Rome, oh maybe a Lyon for good measure.



And its my birthday tomorrow and what a lovely birthday present ;-)

Credit when it is due. My congratulations to those involved at BHX.

I'd take those along with Gibraltar, Mykonos and Newquay.

I'd have loved Seville but I think easy only do it from GVA and LGW now.

Good news for BHX. They’ve been growing their presence in recent times so a base is great news. Hopefully more new routes to come.

 

[LBA787]

Great news for BHX and about time too! Any idea when a full route listing will be announced?

 

[Timberwolf]

Is it known if these will take over from some of the away based aircraft, or are they for new routes?

Think that won't be known for a while.

They may want to move some of the current timings on business routes which have poorer timings.
This may be easier to do with based units ?

BFS EDI and GLA could certainly benefit from an early departure from BHX. The business and leisure community would support this I'm certain. This shouldn't have a great effect on current away based timings which are supported well.

Could bring up to 15 new routes ?

easyJet to open a base in Birmingham for 2024

You might have thought that it already had a base there, but easyJet has announced that it is moving into Birmingham Airport.

Three aircraft will be permanently based at the airport for 2024. It will create 100 jobs in the area for pilots and cabin crew as well as knock on employment for passenger services and maintenance staff.

easyJet already flies to Birmingham from a number of its overseas bases, including Amsterdam, Geneva and Milan, but those aircraft are not based in the UK. Having aircraft based in Birmingham will allow more early morning departures (because the airline doesn’t have to wait for an aircraft to arrive from an overseas base) as well as more late evening arrivals.

Whilst schedules are not yet available, analysts have suggested that up to 15 routes could be launched. The exact number will depend on the mix of short and medium haul and the average weekly frequency of each.

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

Tenerife and Dalaman without a doubt.

Antalya and Paphos have question marks.

Egypt?

Is there a market for Tel Aviv? Malta?

Greece - EasyJet love Kefalonia and Corfu so I’d expect them.

 

[Vinny94]

Hopefully Berlin and Keflavik, are my guesses.

 

[Matt995]

anyone know when Easyjet will be releasing their 2024 summer schedules?

also the base will open with 3 A320s, are we expecting the fleet to grow through the summer up to 5 aircraft?

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

I wouldn’t expect 5. It’ll probably (someone somewhere will say….) be 5/6 in terms of departures if they utilise the European bases too. But I think 3 maybe 4th or 5th in 2025.

[Nethercote2019]

YES

Under the deal it will be three initially with a further two for future expansion so I'd agree with Sherburn that it may be 2025.
