EasyJet is now flying to Antalya in Turkey out of Liverpool



Low-cost airline easyJet has launched a new route out of Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA) as it continues its recovery from the coronavirus shutdown.

Its first flight to Antalya in Turkey took off from Liverpool on Thursday morning. The route to the popular holiday resort adds easyJet’s existing services to two other Turkish destinations, Dalaman and Bodrum.

Flights to Antalya will operate weekly on Thursdays throughout the summer season. The city offers an abundance of historic attractions and is situated on what is known as the Turquoise Coast for its stunning blue waters.

The new route is good news for LJLA which, along with the rest of the aviation sector, has been hit badly by the COVID-19 pandemic. In March, April and well into May, most of Europe’s airlines came to a standstill as countries locked down to limit the spread of the virus.

Both its main airlines, easyJet and Ryanair, are now resuming regular flights on a number of routes out of Liverpool. Ryanair is currently flying to 27 destinations from Liverpool and easyJet now has 22 routes up and running.

Last week, the airport secured a £34m loan from the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority to provide “stability” during the ongoing turbulent period.

Following the departure of the Antalya route, Paul Winfield, director of aviation development at LJLA, said: “Passengers from across the North West and North Wales now have the opportunity to fly from Liverpool with easyJet to the three main Turkish Mediterranean holiday destinations.”

Back in the late 80s early 90s the former Yugoslavia was hugely popular with British tourists. I've never visited the region but I believe it's still a lovely place today although it's never seemed to regained the popularity it once had.

I went to Yugoslavia as a kid to Split, flew with JAT on a Caravelle, was a nice place to visit.

Stirred a few memories although the only place in that neck of the woods I've been to is Lake Bled in Slovenia. It was a day trip when we were staying in Austria.

I always think of Yugotours when recalling the days of former Yugoslavia's great popularity with tourists. I remember that Yugotours was owned by the Yugoslavian Government but a bit of research this morning shows that the company had its headquarters in London. By the late 1980s it seems that Yugoslavia was the second most popular destination for UK holidaymakers after Spain.

Yugotours actually began taking UK holidaymaker to Yugoslavia in the late 1950s but it wasn't until the 1970s that things began to really gather momentum and at one time Yugotours was the UK's fourth biggest tour operator. By the late 80s Thomson, the market leader, had begun to provide significant competition for Yugoslav holidays and when the ethnic conflicts of the 1990s came along that eventually led to the break-up of Yugolslavia it made life extremely difficult for Yugotours. The brand survived until 2007 before being absorbed by Med-Choice that covers that entire Mediterranean area.

The likes of easyJet and TUI have quite a decent network to the former Yugoalavia especially to Croatia, with old favourites from the Yugotours era such as Dubrovnik, Split and Pula featuring prominently.

I worked for a rival company in London called Phoenix Travel, we had a holiday department called Phoenix holidays which was a Yugo specialist . We used airlines like Inex Adria and Aviogenex. Both of theses carriers operated though Liverpool on I.Ts in those days. DC9s and TU 134s

Ive read that around 50 percent of Easyjets workforce at Liverpool are to loose their jobs, plus during this winter aircraft usage will be more like 4 than 8. Very sad and difficult times for staff loosing their jobs. Easy jet have 11 aircraft at Liverpool at present, not all working.

 

[Seasider]

At least they have kept the base, especially with MAN being next door. No easyJet presence now on the eastern side of the country between Luton and Edinburgh.

Indeed and some staff still keeping their jobs. Liverpool is their oldest base apart from Luton, there is a long history of their ops here. I hope the staff who have lost their positions find alternative appointments soon, although the travel sector has been hit very badly. If Wizz arrive with a base this might help some of those affected.

Sad for the staff and airport, Wizz will be licking there lips at the news they love treading on easyjet's toes.
