Just done a quick search on the easyJet booking engine to get an idea of the summer frequencies for next year and this is what is show...

Tel Aviv - 2x Daily - Mon, Tues, Thurs and Sun, 1x Daily - Weds, Fri and Sun
Venice - 4x Weekly - Mon, Thurs, Fri and Sun
Zurich - 1x Daily

I work that out to be 353 flights a week in June 2014, but happy to be corrected.

Shame to see Istanbul vanish, would be great is another airline stepped in to replace this service. Maybe a Pegasus service or a service from Turkish Airlines low cost subsidiary which I think is AnadoluJet? It seems easyJet are pulling out completely from Istanbul, as their only other service from Basel is also stopping on the 28th March... Probably a case that the market has become over saturated with the dominance of Turkish Airlines and Pegasus.

There is some increases in services like Reykjavik (KEF) going from 4 to 6 times weekly, Sharm El Sheikh (SSH) is increasing from 5 to 6 times weekly.

Budapest has dropped from 5 to 4 times weekly and Menorca has dropped from 3-4 times a week to a single weekly service.

Even though Istanbul is being dropped, we do have a new service to Venice this summer and with the increases to KEF and SSH, there doesn't seem a great deal of slack in the current schedule to start any new services. Possibly a twice weekly service with sector time of 2-3hrs away??? Somewhere like Pula or Dubrovnik would be nice!

Considering all the negative talk and the possibility of aircraft been switched to Stansted, I think Luton hasn't done too badly and will be keeping the currently number of based aircraft for Summer 2014.

Being realistic, no growth from easyJet is likely next year with additional aircraft... The growth is going to come from Gatwick, where the airline needs to fill all the slots they are buying from FlyBE and that will probably take 6-8 additional aircraft being based there to fill all these slots.
