Copenhagen
A week or two ago we were all saying Ryanair and easyJet at Luton avoid going head to head on routes, and now all of a sudden they couldn't be going more up against each other if they tried!
easyJet are flying daily LTN-CPH during this winter, but they will be flying twice daily too from next summer!
easyJet Schedule
LTN 07.15 ---> CPH 09.55
CPH 10.25 ---> LTN 11.20
LTN 17.10 ---> CPH 19.50
CPH 20.20 ---> LTN 21.15
Ryanair Schedule
CPH 06.45 ---> LTN 07.30
LTN 07.55 ---> CPH 10.40
CPH 16.35 ---> LTN 17.20
LTN 17.45 ---> CPH 20.45
Other than the Irish routes, it is rare to see Ryanair flying more than a daily service from the airport. Its a shame they didn't use the aircraft to fly another Scandanavian route from the airport, instead of going up against another carrier.
It is positive to see a new route being flown by an aircraft from another Ryanair base.
I wonder if they are testing out the route before maybe launching it from Stansted or maybe STN is slot restrained in the morning, as it is pretty jammed with Ryanair in the morning peak periods!
I think Naples route is a similar example... No one was flying it a few years back, and now we have Monarch, Thomson and easyJet operating the route!
