WATABENCH,

BRS is the largest UK base outside London, according to easyJet's press release, the relevant bit of which is below, although I don't know where the 70 departures comes from - I suppose they really mean departures and arrivals.

easyJet's Bristol operation now accounts for over almost 10% of its total network, making it the airline’s largest UK base outside of London with close to 70 daily departures and 8,500 passengers every day.

BRS 30 routes served! not bad for an airport that most people consider a small regional!
STN 26 routes i think

I hear that an easyjet aircraft had some sort of engine fire today at EMA. The aircraft was not carrying passengers.

[phil_2405]

I believe it was a suspected engine fire - fire engines and ambulances were in attendance (suggests pax were onboard?)

[pieboyjr]

Are there none for NCL either?

Why
Would the fire trucks not turn out to an engine fire if no pax were onboard????

[phil_2405]

I meant would a fleet of ambulances turn up if no pax were on board?

[mmeteesside]

So the crew don't deserve ambulances??

[phil_2405]

Of course they deserve ambulances but I was told at least 5 ambulances were in attendance!

[Silvertop]

Thats correct one ambulance per crew!

I've been reading a Passenger Survey website and several have commented adversely on the practice of allotting boarding group D to those pax who opt for online check-in.

They said they were not aware this would happen (as far as I can determine easyJet don't mention this practice in their web press release on the subject).

These people seem to be implying that those who check in online should be in some way rewarded by being given a priority when it comes to boarding.

If this were to happen and everyone began to check in online then easyJet would finish up with a Ryanair-type free-for-all because everyone would have the same high priority status.

[BRS30]

As from the 1st March - Online check-in was available on all routes from BRS

Easyjet new base in Portugal?

Hello,

Anyone with any info that Easyjet is planning a base(hub) in Portugal? Is it true?

Regards

[orangetree]

You'll need to slot that one in behind Malaga and Nice. These rumours crop up annually to no avail.

[jettesen]
