easyJet November performance ex BFS
EasyJet had a very successful month in November ex BFS in terms of passenger numbers in line with increases in capacity. Some standout performances.
- EasyJet’s overall share of the overall Belfast London market reached 54% giving them a majority. This compares to 48% for the same month last year.
Gatwick, Luton and Stansted grew by 22%, 36% and 14% respectively.
- For the first time they carried the majority of passengers on the Belfast to Birmingham and Manchester routes, with 50.23% and 53.47% market shares respectively. These compare with 41.14% and 42.94% same month last year.
- Newcastle saw very significant growth (22% or an extra almost 4k pax in the month v LY). The Flybe service ex BHD carried 1504 pax in the month at a 40% decline, this compares to 20.5K pax per month for easyJet. The easyJet growth would appear to be presenting a challenge to Flybe service.
- All other domestic routes performed well with growth over same month last year.
- Total easyJet numbers on non domestics did well up on last year, though hard to put a number on it as the new Lanzarote route is shared with Jet2. Despite the new KLM BHD route to Amsterdam, easyJet saw excellent growth on their Amsterdam route....
