This will kill off the EZY IBZ route then. More flexibility of times and ates to travel and last year EZY flew I think only about 5 time to IBZ. The rest of the services got canx. Was not a good summer for the IBZ last summer.
easyJet only operates a peak summer season on BRS-IBZ ( 2 x weekly) commencing mid July whereas Ryanair seems to be operating all summer.
easyJet will operate on Wednesday afternoons and Saturday evenings with Ryanair flying on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays out in the morning and returning early afternoon.
The flexibility mentioned could extend to using both carriers (one out and the other back) to maximise time in resort.
Last July and August was certainly a torrid time for easyJet operations across the board, blamed variously on overseas atc industrial action and lack of crew - Stelios became publicly animated about the situation and gave the airline management an ultimatum to sort it out.
BRS saw lots of easyJet cancellations with the Ibiza being mentioned more than once in the local press because angry passengers were less than amused at arriving at the airport to find their flight cancelled.
Despite all that CAA stats suggest that last August still saw a load factor of 90% on the A319 scheduled BRS-IBZ route - 2262 passengers from 8 rotations (16 sectors).
