Must be the time to publicise how well the airline is doing in the UK. Here is easyJet/Liverpool Airport press release stating how the easyJet services are doing from LPL.
easyJet growth buoyant at Liverpool August 2003
easyJet has achieved a seventh consecutive month of passenger growth at Liverpool airport in 2003.
203,067 passengers travelled with easyJet in July, up 6% over July last year.
Year-on-year increases for the January to June period also, saw monthly passenger numbers remain around 200,000.
This figure was reached only in the peak Summer months during 2002.
"Liverpool remains one of our strongest-performing bases in Europe," said easyJet’s North West market manager Judith Steele.
Alicante was the most recent route to be added by easyJet, in January.
Since then 62,000 passengers have travelled on the route and 88% of the seats have been filled.
Internet bookings on routes from Liverpool for the period exceeded 95% for the first time ever in an airline’s history.
"Passengers still can’t get the level of fares from Manchester that they’re getting week in, week out from Liverpool," said Miss Steele.
"The average air fare from Manchester is still over £500 – easyJet’s average fare is a fifth of that."
"easyJet remains the one to beat for low fares in the North West," she said
