easyJet AXES!!!
easyJet are to axe the following routes from this winter:
Nottingham East Midlands - Venice (Marco Polo)
Bristol - Bilbao
Bristol - Copenhagen
But I've just heard from a colleague that easyJet are imminently about to launch 3 new routes from Nottingham East Midlands for this winter. These will no doubt be:
Barcelona, Berlin-Shonefeld and Copenhagen

Bristol - Bilbao

These route withdrawals by easyJet are FACT. They are no longer on sale from this winter.
easyJet are replacing the services out of Bristol with Rome and Geneva. The Geneva route will be operated with Bristol's aircraft and not easyJet's A319s in Geneva.
Cheers.

Simon - be careful with your facts!
If you are quoting from easyJet.com you will no doubt have noticed that Luton only has about 5 routes on sale for winter.
easy have not yet released all of their winter flights for sale.
The show ain't over yet son.
Let's wait and see ay!!

Bit of conflicting info... If they are cancelling BRS-CPH, why would they start NEMA-CPH?? Also, why are they going to do NEMA-BCN, when they cancelled that route earlier this year???
Coincidently, what will happen to the NCL-CPH route? (It's the only one not on sale yet from NCL). But then again none of the CPH routes are on sale yet.

I can understand BRS-BIO being withdrawn. It was a strange choice from the start in my opinion and the only other two easyJet routes to BIO are from STN and LGW. CAA stats show BRS-BIO most months averaging around 105 pax (around 70% loading). I am surprised that the figure is that high because I cannot see the attraction of Bilbao as a high density route from a regional UK airport.
BRS-CPH is different. CAA stats show the monthly loads building with an average of 116 for June (80%). Unless CPH is to be abandoned as an easy destination altogether I will be very surprised if only BRS-CPH is dropped. I can't see Rome or Budapest being more attractive destinations, especially in the winter. In fact, Go Fly tried Rome from Bristol in its first season and it was one of only two routes they subsequently dropped, albeit they did not give it long to settle down (two months).

A possible mis-typing of a three letter code - is that any worse than mis-spelling "wasteing".?
Anyway it's as (if not more) interesting to know about the dropping of routes as the announcement of new ones, so let's get back to the topic!

A simple typo of the three letter code? Must remember to be so forgiving next time my bag goes to MCO instead of FCO or MXP!!!
If people are going to put info on here re routes starting or dropping then they should at least get the route codes right otherwise the whole post is even more c$ap. I can cope with deciphering peoples poor spelling but guessing which code they meant to use is a different matter!

The mystery deepens because I have just checked easyJet's winter timetable and there is the need for a further based a/c at Bristol to fulfil it, making seven a/c.
There are seven weekday early morning departures from BRS between 0630 and 0750, viz.
O630 AGP
0640 ALC
0700 EDI
0710 GLA
0720 BUD
0730 NCE (M W F)/0650 PMI (Tu Th)
0750 PRG
These are all 'out and back' routes operated by BRS a/c (unless of course the unlikely scenario takes place that easyJet flies in an empty a/c very early each morning from somewhere else to operate one of the flights listed above). There are other earlyish morning departures to BFS and NCL as well but these are operated by BFS and NCL based a/c operating the inbound (to BRS) sectors first.
So, if there is to be a seventh a/c at BRS what will it do for the rest of the day if CPH and BIO are axed? AMS has been returned to one rotation a day from the summer two and NCE and PMI 'share' a week, when previously NCE was flown every day, summer and winter.

Unlikely as night stopping aircraft (and crews) isn't very low cost. Shame, cos room parties can be a riot.
Getting back to EMA, Lumley's rumour doesn't add up as the three aircraft currently based are fully utilised. Dropping VCE (very good loads so a bit surprising if it did happen) but adding three others would have to require another aircraft. But, it wouldn't be fully utilised unless another route or rotation to a current destination were added.
The plot thickens.
ps BCN was dropped in favour of giving the slot to the newly opened Dortmund base. Loads were very high so it would be no surprise to see that re-established from EMA.

According to a senior crew member friend of mine based at NEMA, the airport is high on the list to have the 737-300s replaced with brand new A319s, and rumour has it this could come as early as November this year, but it all seems to be rumours at the minute.
