Re: LIVERPOOL

EasyJet has made room for based #8 by stopping a AMS and BFS return service on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from mid July until mid September.

The gap on Tuesdays has been filled by a return to Ibiza so the Wednesday gap maybe filled with a return to Mahon.

There is also a return to CGN (depLPL1315, arrLPL1650) waiting for #8.

Re: LIVERPOOL

Maybe it's news of an 8th based aircraft and the introduction of based A319s?

Re: LIVERPOOL

Cannot see EZY basing anything other than 737's for the foreseeable future.

Re: LIVERPOOL

Wizofoz,

I was told a while back that LPL will be one of the last to convert over to the 319's because it was a 737 only maint base.

Is 'Inside easyJet' a inhouse mag?

Will it be then, an announcement of the 319's as base aircraft or new routes or a mix of them both then?

BTW, the press conference will be led by one of the more senior managers in the easyJet hierarchy.

Re: LIVERPOOL

Would Liverpool getting the Airbus after GLA & EDI justify a conference held by senior bods. "Exciting Easyjet News For Liverpool" there might be a couple of surprises.

Re: LIVERPOOL

"Will it be then, an announcement of the 319's as base aircraft or new routes or a mix of them both then?"

Somehow "we're going to replace 7's with buses" doesn't make for much use with the average punter. They will have to announce some new routes if they want to grab a few headlines, which FR seem to be much better at these days.

Which dots are most likely to warrant joining?

If INV has worked @BFS & BRS, why not LPL?
CIA, VLC, HAM, BUD, NAP must all be in with a good chance. Perhaps somewhere else in northern Italy? VCE has seen mixed fortunes, not sure if MXP would have much advantage over FR to BGY. How about TRN as an outsider?
LPL & EDI didn't work for BE, would U2 give this a go, or just too short?
Isn't ATH also due for another UK route?

Re: LIVERPOOL

The new Liverpool routes are to Faro, Mahon, Marseilles and Krakow.

Krakow four weekly from 10th April
Faro daily from 11th April
Marseilles three weekly from 11th April
Mahon twice weekly from 22nd July

Also, the Liverpool base will be solely a Airbus base displacing the 737's.

Re: LIVERPOOL

Oh well, had edited to suggest TLL and PRG, but looks like was wrong on that too.

Site now showing confirmation of:

LPL AND GLA / EDI as bus bases

LPL to KRK, FAO, MAH & MRS

Looks like you beat me to it, dwlpl

Re: LIVERPOOL

Hi All,

dwlpl,

WRT 737 maintenance, the fact that as of OCT we will only have 32 737s, all newer 700s meant that we no longer need two major maintenance bases for them. All the 737 heavy maintenance will be through LTN.

We were told about the Airbi yesterday, but the route announcements were kept under wraps until today.

Happy days and some long overdue movement in LPL!!

Re: LIVERPOOL

I assume there will be 3 at each Scottish base as there have been no expansion plans announced north of the border.

Re: LIVERPOOL

Following on from easyJets expansion announcement this week from Liverpool, Ryanair have vowed to expand their LPL base even more.

Quote taken from www.icliverpool.com :

"Now Ryanair, which has grown its Liverpool operation from one scheduled route 14 months ago to 20 today, vowed to maintain its dominance at the airport with further additions planned this year.

Ryanair spokesman Karl Hogstadius said: "The average growth rate for Ryanair is 20-25% a year and in the coming six months there will be further expansion for JLA. Liverpool is one of the airports we are looking at for further growth."

Re: LIVERPOOL

howdy!

just curious in thinking what other routes could be served from LPL [ domestic/ international]. Ws it BY that did a direct barbados on a 76? Or have i been on the rock for too long, lol.
And was it once daily the edi/gla by flybe. Wsnt one or two of the 'top guns' linked to starting a LPL- LON service?
Apologies for the barrage of questions, on a home standby!
rgrds
happy flying!

It's a shame that EIN's timings couldn't have been a little better when it came to their flights to and from DUB.
