BRS to FRA, MUC, CDG, ABZ, DUS and HAM are now all bookable through next summer. Until today only the first three were bookable beyond March. Frequencies don't seem to have reduced.

Of the routes flown this year only MXP and NTE are missing from next summer's booking engine (NTE has disappeared from the drop-down destination list). Given that easyJet is to commences a 2 x weekly Nantes summer service from next March, it's no surprise that bmir's route won't be brought back (as seems the case).

easyJet flew daily from BRS to MXP until the recession took hold against a daily Ryanair Bergamo. Ryanair now operates just 3 x weekly to BGY in summer only. With a 13th based aircraft for next summer it does seem that more work will have to be found to utilise it fully.

The airline has already announced that Venice Marco Polo will return from next March (it too was dropped during the recession) against Ryanair's Treviso and today easyJet has announced a new Glasgow-Malpensa route. So it would not require a huge leap of faith to believe that MXP would be a strong contender if easyJet intends introducing more routes from BRS for next year.
