Would Liverpool getting the Airbus after GLA & EDI justify a conference held by senior bods. "Exciting Easyjet News For Liverpool" there might be a couple of surprises.
"Will it be then, an announcement of the 319's as base aircraft or new routes or a mix of them both then?"
Somehow "we're going to replace 7's with buses" doesn't make for much use with the average punter. They will have to announce some new routes if they want to grab a few headlines, which FR seem to be much better at these days.
Which dots are most likely to warrant joining?
If INV has worked @BFS & BRS, why not LPL?
CIA, VLC, HAM, BUD, NAP must all be in with a good chance. Perhaps somewhere else in northern Italy? VCE has seen mixed fortunes, not sure if MXP would have much advantage over FR to BGY. How about TRN as an outsider?
LPL & EDI didn't work for BE, would U2 give this a go, or just too short?
Isn't ATH also due for another UK route?
WRT 737 maintenance, the fact that as of OCT we will only have 32 737s, all newer 700s meant that we no longer need two major maintenance bases for them. All the 737 heavy maintenance will be through LTN.
We were told about the Airbi yesterday, but the route announcements were kept under wraps until today.
Happy days and some long overdue movement in LPL!!
"Now Ryanair, which has grown its Liverpool operation from one scheduled route 14 months ago to 20 today, vowed to maintain its dominance at the airport with further additions planned this year.
Ryanair spokesman Karl Hogstadius said: "The average growth rate for Ryanair is 20-25% a year and in the coming six months there will be further expansion for JLA. Liverpool is one of the airports we are looking at for further growth."
just curious in thinking what other routes could be served from LPL [ domestic/ international]. Ws it BY that did a direct barbados on a 76? Or have i been on the rock for too long, lol.
And was it once daily the edi/gla by flybe. Wsnt one or two of the 'top guns' linked to starting a LPL- LON service?
Apologies for the barrage of questions, on a home standby!
rgrds
happy flying!
From Monday 23rd January Aer Arran is to introduce a sixth return flight (Monday to Friday) on the Liverpool/IOM route to cater for the demand from business passengers.
