Easyjet summer 2007

Continuation of: http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthr...245930&page=16

So it looks like Berlin Budapest and Geneva have gone this summer. Would expect to see Geneva back as a winter route. Budapest probably gone for good as pax nos very poor recently( similar at other airports). Would think that FlyBe will start Berlin along with Copenhagen and some others if they do ever base at NCL.
Its good to see Easyjet bring in A/C no 7 at last but the 2 new routes and the increases in frequency to existing spanish sunshine routes where there is arguably over capacity to start with seems strange. Where are all the passengers going to come from? It would have been good to have places like Venice, Dubrovnik, Split etc as new routes not duplicating existing ones.(Perhaps Jet2 have some announcements to come)
Competition is good for the travelling public and we will see some very good fares this comimg summer, but after that someone will suffer.

Where are all the aircraft going to park next summer.

From what I have read there will be the following A/C based at NCL,

7x Easyjet
4x Jet2.Com (plus a possible 146 for LGW)
1x BA
1X klm
1X AF
1X sn(back to nightstopping a/c)
4X Eastern
3X Tom
2X TCX
1X MYT
1X FJE
2x XLA
4X BE ( possibly ) Thats a total of 32

If this is correct will there will be a problem with space?
