Well I never.......
EZY flying British domestics EDI-STN-EDI & GLA-STN-GLA this morning with OE-dash A320`s transferred from British registry..a farce & a complete folly of legislature.
Why is this a farce? It's important to try and understand the rationalf to why this has been done. When we leave the EU, easyJet, a UK registered company needs to be in compliance with the regulations concerning flying internaly within the EU. i.e. a Spain to Italy flight can (likely) not be flown by a G- aircraft as we will no longer be members of said union. Hence, just like easyJet Suisse, to maintain regulatory approval, the route must be flown by an aircraft registered with authority to do so, in this case any EU country. They have, like Eurowings, gone for Austria. Hence anything based in the UK can stay G-, anything based on the continent won't have that luxury going forward. it's not a farce, it's a necessary step to maintain BAU as best they can.
Until that day happens, to work up the AOC and keep things ticking over, the fleet remains interchangable between G- and OE-. That will change if (when) we leave with no deal.
