EZY is also to drop LTN - ZRH for the same reason it dropped LGW - ZRH (allegedly excessive charges at ZRH).
Instead, it's going to serve Basle (or 'Basel') from LTN (as well as from STN) beginning Autumn 2004.
Type unknown but probably Luton-based -300s as the availability of engineering at LTN is helpful in keeping these high mileage models serviceable (APUs excepted...).
Other three 'mystery' destinations ex. LTN still to be announced - maybe two will be Dublin and Milan/Bergamo just to smack MoL in the face for having the cheek to encroach on easyLand...?

The CPH winter routes have now been released by easyJet and according to their web timetable only STN-CPH and SXF-CPH (this one already mentioned by Kev 1) remain for the winter. BRS-CPH and NCL-CPH do appear to have been dropped.
The BIO winter routes have also been released and both BRS-BIO and LGW-BIO appear to have been dropped leaving only STN-BIO.
A great shame IMO that BRS-CPH and NCL-CPH have been dropped as the past few months have shown that there is undoubtedly a market for these routes. I wonder if Flybe would consider stepping in with their slightly smaller aircraft.

kick the tyres
Probably no sadder than people who read it, and you appear to have done so to have made the comment.
My son has used the BRS-CPH connection several times since its inception for business and would have continued to do so. Now he will have to go to London or Birmingham again just to catch the aeroplane.
That's why I made the comment earlier that if easyJet were going to drop the route it would be helpful to regular travellers to give them plenty of notice so that they can think about alternatives.

kick the tires actually some of us have interest in whats going on here at CPH!
Lot of rumours and statements about Easyjet and CPH at the moment on the www will be interesting to see whats going to happen in the end
As late as Monday this week there where an article in Borsen (the largest business newspaper in Denmark) about LoCos. In this article the Easyjet spokeswomen in Denmark, Christina Schärfe, came with the statement that Easyjet plans to increase their business at Copenhagen Airport. But as we all know things can change very quickly
Cheers

Rome / Venice
Sheikh
What is happening with the Rome and Venice routes, they have not announced them as new routes but they are on sale from Gatwick and not from Stansted. Are they going to do both ?

re: LTN-ZRH
I keep on hearing strong rumours about EZY opening a base in Basel, as troubled Swiss International Air Lines is threatning to pull out of Basel. Supposedly with TopSwiss (EZY Switzerland) crews and aircraft.

Shame about NCL-CPH going to stop in december. Does anyone think it'll be reinstated next summer?? Will GVA be a year-round op?
Just noticed that NCL-BFS has increased to 3x on weekdays (from 2x).
Will MAD be introduced at NCL, as the new routes being introduced at NCL and BRS are the same lately?

Hi Bean Counter - the italian routes that you mention have been transferred from stansted to gatwick. Not sure why it hasnt been announced as a transfer but with so much activity going on, perhaps it has been overlooked.
Basle should become the new Zurich, well in orange eyes at least

With today's new routes announced, easy will be operating 178 routes, which they state is 62 more than last winter and there is still more to come shortly!!!!!. I only hope they can find the pax to fill all these extra routes. Are they going into overkill or what ?. Ryan have always be noted for multiple route launches but even they must be a distant second place in this respect

With "new shiny aircraft" and the new EZ Almeria destination, does that mean smaller planes? I thought Almeria was a very small airport. Will it take the "normal" EasyJet planes?
Pardon my ignorance...

Almeria is a small airport, but regularly has MyTravel Lite Airbus 320s, and Iberia MD-80 series aircraft at the airport, so the new EasyJet 319s shouldn't be too much of a problem. Unless a fleet of them all decend at once.
