The programme for next summer until the end of August was announced some time ago. I presume the next announcement will relate to the last two months of the summer 2020 season. And winter 2020/2021 possibly?Best wishes to first officer.
On Thursday this week next years Easyjet announce new routes and schedules from airports they operate from. How much in routes new or rotations increased do we expect.
The easyJet seat plans for tomorow show both EZY405 to GLA at 1445 and EZY6223 to CDG at 1830 as an 321. The early CDG is a 319 and the other three to GLA are 2 x 320s and 1 x 319.According to FR24 the first easyJet A321 arrives from ALC tomorrow Friday 8th November, then operates to GLA and back, before flying to CDG and back.
TCX typically used their BRS aircraft on two rotations per aircraft each per day, occasionally three. easyJet is invariably three a day, four with some aircraft. So easyJet might not need as many aircraft to operate broadly the same number of flights as TCX, and the slots are only really tight early in the day and in the late evening/early hours because of the night tme movements and noise quota restrictions.does that slot into 3 extra morning and 3 extra pm departures ie 3 extra aircraft?
I was walking Felton Common this afternoon - beautiful sunny autumnal day. I saw the A321 take off for Glasgow over the common from runway 09 a few minutes before 3. Immediately afterwards the active runway was switched to 27 with the next departure heading out towards the estuary.The first A321 neo has arrived. Reg no G EZMA
does that slot into 3 extra morning and 3 extra pm departures ie 3 extra aircraft?
To add to the above, I notice that easyJet has also purchased a TCX winter slot pair as well as six summer ones. Given that BRS is only Level 3 slot co-ordinated in summer and even then only between 2300 and 0700, why would there be winter slots to be purchased? It seems that the summer night time slots (2300-0700) are the ones in demand because of the movements and noise restrictions, but winter is not a problem with relatively few movements in the night time period.TCX typically used their BRS aircraft on two rotations per aircraft each per day, occasionally three. easyJet is invariably three a day, four with some aircraft. So easyJet might not need as many aircraft to operate broadly the same number of flights as TCX, and the slots are only really tight early in the day and in the late evening/early hours because of the night tme movements and noise quota restrictions.
BRS is a Level 3 co-ordinated airport in summer (but only in the night time period) and Level 2 for the rest of the time.
A Level 3 airport is one where demand for airport infrastructure significantly exceeds the airport’s capacity during the relevant period, or where governments have imposed conditions that make it impossible to meet demand. A co-ordinator is appointed to allocate slots to airline and other aircraft operators using or planning to use the airport as a means of managing the declared capacity.
The airport's rationale for obtaining Level 3 status is set out here:
However, increased demand has not been distributed evenly throughout the day, with airline operating models resulting in a particularly busy schedule during the early morning and late evening periods. This has the potential to increase activity in the night period, which is subject to planning conditions limiting the number of movements and total noise impact of flights. With more new routes planned for summer 2018, there is now a need to more tightly control the number of slots granted in the night period to ensure planning conditions continue to be met.
Therefore, in May 2017, Bristol Airport wrote to the Department for Transport (DfT), requesting designation by the Secretary of State for Transport of Bristol Airport as a ‘coordinated’ airport, to come into effect from summer 2018. The request was for Level 3 status to be granted during the summer season only, which is approximately the last week of March until the last week of October, and only to be effective between 11.00pm and 07.00am British Summer Time i.e. for night time plus a shoulder period each side.
Having this Level 3 status will give Bristol Airport greater control over its night flights and help prevent the night flight movement and noise quota count limits – part of the Airport’s planning permission (granted in 2011) with North Somerset Council – being exceeded.
Outside of this coordinated night period, there would be no change to the normal Level 2 schedule facilitation rules. The majority of the Airport’s aircraft movements would therefore not be affected, and subject only to voluntary changes in schedule.
There is currenrly a discussion in the CWL Potential Routes thread concerning the possible negative impact of the restricted night time slots on BRS getting Jet2 if that airline is seeking to operate further south in the future.

They're not in general. Looking forward over the next 5-6 weeks although there are still some sectors available for under £30, the vast majority are much more expensive, often over £60 and not infrequently well over £100. Looking into January brings more £20 odd fares but even at this distance some of the sectors are already priced at over £50.Prices for CDG weren't cheap either when I looked.
Thanks for that alphagolf. No surprise that a lot of the routes are longer holiday ones, with CDG and GLA which appear to be regular 321 routes for the current winter not continued into next summer.On Twitter airlineroute has published easyJets S20 A321 schedule for BRS
