Rome returns to daily , Mykonos twice a week , kos three weekly , Madeira 3 weekly , Porto 4 weekly , Rhodes six weekly , Sharm 2 weekly ( reduced to one weekly peak summer ) , hurghada 2 weekly ( reduces like Sharm ) , and Belfast city 4 weekly. Looks like an extra aircraft or so

easyJet will operate to BFS 25x weekly and BHD 4x weekly during peak summer 2023.

Looking at the schedule, there are still a few gaps to fill, however it looks like the BRS base will have 18x aircraft based - 2x A319, 14x A320 and 2x A321.
Impressive!

Whilst we saw big increases last week , I think there’s still more to come. According to the acl slot report there may be increases to Minorca , Corfu , Lisbon, Biarritz and Nantes to come - some using Easyjet Europe

 

[Marko1]

Lisbon going daily next summer

 

[Marko1]

Easyjet are continuing its increased Paris frequencies into next summer - up to 5 daily on selected weekdays with a slight reduction during July and august but still up to 4 daily. Mix of easyjet and easyjet Europe

With 5 a day in action it makes you wonder why AF have not wanted a slice of this? Sounds like a significant amount of passengers

I seem to think Air France left Bristol so not to dilute KLM’s Amsterdam route. That said , easyjet flies up to 3 daily flights to Amsterdam alongside klm to no ill effect. Would be nice to Air France back though

Extra flights being added on Mondays Wednesdays and Sundays from March to Geneva ( up to 6 daily on Sundays ). Using easyjet and easyjet Switzerland

I seem to think Air France left Bristol so not to dilute KLM’s Amsterdam route.

Air France will be more concerned with passengers who are onward connecting rather than point 2 point.

Many of the routes easyjet dropped for April - athens , Dubrovnik , split etc have now been re instated. Indeed Heraklion and Rhodes now starts in early March

easyJet in February
Looking at a week mid-February, easyJet are operating 310x weekly departures - pretty impressive!
Some highlights below:

EDI - 29x weekly departures - I think this is the most I've seen on the route.
6x daily Mon & Fri / 4x daily Wed, Thu & Fri / 3x daily Sun / 2x daily Sat

GVA - 28x weekly departures!!
5x daily Sat & Sun / 4x daily Mon, Thu & Fri / 3x daily Tue & Wed

Paris - 28x weekly departures - 5x daily departures on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays!

CDG - 16x weekly departures!​

3x daily Mon, Thu, Fri & Sun / 2x daily Wed / 1x daily Tue & Sat​

​

ORY - 12x weekly departures!​

2x daily Mon to Fri / 1x daily Sat & Sun​

LIS - 8x weekly departures.
2x daily on Thu / 1x daily Mon to Wed & Fri to Sun

TFS - 7x weekly departures.
1x daily

 

[Marko1]

It’s impressive and I think it’s even higher in March as well. Given there’s been no official press release about the larger plans/ enfidhna for summer 23 I suspect there’s more to come for summer 23 as well

Easyjet adding a new route for Summer 2023. Bristol to Chania. Starts June 27th

Interestingly going head to head with Jet2.

 

[Marko1]

Bodrum reduces to 2 weekly whilst chania flys however

And the sat evening nice has been dropped to make way for chania

There is also some cut backs today also - kefalonia reduces to 2 weekly and Copenhagen reduces to 3 weekly. Amsterdam on Wednesdays sees no peak summer morning flight either

Looking at the schedule after todays schedule update, (on a Monday to be specific), the mid-afternoon EDI has gone, as has the afternoon EFL (which has been filled with the NBE announced in December).

This means that there will be 17x aircraft based at BRS - 2x A319, 13x A320 and 2x A321.

 

[Marko1]

I don’t think that’s the finished article yet - this morning there’s a possibility of a sat Tenerife service - available to click on the app and on the desktop website but no details. Other uk bases are getting extra aircraft and given the increases already announced I suspect there’s more to come

Tenerife for Saturday now on sale

 

[Marko1]

Amsterdam goes 4 daily on selected days this summer

 

[Severn]

If my schedule surfing is correct, DBV, IBZ, KGS, MAH, OLB, SPU all now start in April 2023, roughly a month earlier than originally planned. Below I've posted the planned route start dates for BRS. I also noticed easyJet has 77x routes on offer from BRS (summer/winter/year-round), which is the most offered from any UK base after LGW.
MAN has 73 routes on sale and LTN 66.

How many based aircraft are we looking at for this summer ? No official media release for this summer as far as I’m aware

Still 17x aircraft based at BRS this summer (2x A319 / 13x A320 / 2x A321).
The schedules have been updated recently with AMS gaining an extra departure on a Tuesday (now 4x daily!), TFS gaining a Saturday departure, and a new route to CHQ, 2x weekly (Tue and Sat) - all of which @Marko1 posted about.

GLA, BFS, NCE, BOD, CPH, EFL, BJV and PRG have had departures per week reduced since the last update (yet some destinations will still see an increase over previous summer), however there will still be 407x weekly departures in peak summer, an increase of 21 over 2019.
