The routes to Bodrum, Dalaman and Crete are now in the easyJet booking engine.

Seljuk 22,

You are right about easyJet slightly reducing frequencies to one or two destinations in peak summer in order to use the aircraft to operate more sun routes during that period. Usually Ibiza and Mahon only operate in the peak end of July/early September season and that is the case again this year.

My calculations are based on the easyJet August schedules which, as they currently stand, will require eleven based aircraft for much of the week.

For example, Saturday morning departures in August:

0605 Palma
0625 Heraklion
0630 Alicante
0630 Murcia
0645 Split
0705 Faro
0705 Nice
0710 Edinburgh
0710 Malaga
0720 Pisa
0730 Paris Cdg

Currently all days in August (the month I have checked) except Thursday have a requirement for eleven based aircraft either first thing or last thing in the day.

Fifteen weekly rotations in peak summer of between 8.5 and 10 hours duration (Tenerife, Paphos, Bodrum, Dalaman and Heraklion) in peak summer eat up more aircraft time than has been the case in the past with easyJet at Bristol.

Eleven aircraft would still be one less than the twelve that were based in peak summers 2008 and 2009.
