Liverpool: EasyJet Route News & Base Updates

[Sherburnflyer92]

BUT Jet2 will not set up a base diluting their MAN base. Taking assets from somewhere else when you can deliver a better profit in that x place. They can funnel all LPL customers through their MAN 18 aircraft base (or is it more?!). Gone are the regional Jet2 days - they are now main stage.

Thats my point. And look at TCX/TOM they won't either. TOM has routes on it's most profitable cash cow (PMI).

Jet2 flew from BLK but offered only capacity on those trunk routes. Also BLK was set up the days of small bases with small aircraft. At the current pace of expansion and level i would say LPL is off the base list. (I do not see a 4 aircraft base at LPL).

It isn't 4 it will be 8 easyjet based aircraft for 2018, I don't know what Ryanair is, but again will be a decent number based, because there is the demand from Liverpool.

I'm taking about why Jet2 wouldn't launch a LPL base.

In my opinion Jet2 are missing business by not being in Liverpool , Easyjet, Ryanair and B!ue Air are all expanding for 2018

Would you therefore not be better discussing this on the General Thread for Liverpool?

Only a thought.

I don't know whether I have misread your post but easyJet have publicly stated that they will have 8 aircraft - up by 1 from 2017 - based in 2018.

You misread the post 😉

The 4 aircraft base mentioned related to a potential set up by Jet2, not EasyJet.

Jet2 have no plans here at present. Easyjet do.

I have also heard suggested on more than one occasion that both Easyjet and Ryanair are the main reason why Jet2 has not launched services from Liverpool.

Because the original poster mentioned about Jet2 not setting up a base at LPL due to the high number of aircraft at LPL by easyJet and Ryanair. I was trying to explain this is probably due to the amount of aircraft based down at MAN and the fact they would want to funnel the traffic down there. Similar to what Thomson and Thomas cook do with LPL customers.

Easyjets new Liverpool - Venice service commenced today.

I have heard the new Venice route has got off to a good start. Last Saturdays flight was full and the flight in from Venice today had 151 passengers. Check in staff at Liverpool reported the route is selling very well.

I din't realise that LPL didn't have a link to VCE. Or was it one of those that were transfered to Manchester?

Hi
I'm not sure, it is a bit surprising there wasnt a link so maybe it was transferred. Good that' it available for passengers now anyway and seemingly has been well received.

I'e just discovered it is a new route, however Ryanair did do Liverpool to Treviso ( close to Venice ) from 2005 to 2010.

It seems like the Mahon route is not showing available for next year, bit odd as the Balearic islands are popular. Hopefully someone else will fill their gap.

According to a post on the other forum there is supposed to be some news regarding Easyjet and LPL announced tomorrow.

 

[User001]

3 new routes, Pula, Dalaman and Palermo.

 

[Silvercity]

Mahon has been dropped . Still a gap on Saturday schedule so maybe a couple more routes. One of the A320s at moment does nothing after Jersey run, so aircraft free.
Good to see Easyjet expanding at Liverpool again. The new routes are twice a week from late July.

Liverpool to Belfast is Easyjets 10th in their top 10 European routes the 2 way capacity is 598944. Pretty good going.

There is a feature in the new issue of Airliner World about Easyjets Liverpool base.

Liverpool Airport has won small/medium size airport of the year at Easyjets ' Spirit Awards' . So well done to all staff at the base.
