Well, the announcement about the new routes did come today:
Source: sharewatch.com
Seems not enough (destinations), if three aircraft are to be based there....
Two of the new routes are domestic, to Oviedo and La Coruna, while four are international, to Lyon and Toulouse in France, Rome in Italy and Casablanca in Morocco.
The new services will start February next year. easyJet will initially base three aircraft at Barajas.
Spain is the airline's second largest market after the UK.
easyJet also announced a new route from Lyon to Rome.

New Madrid routes
announcement
Also, it has to be considered that the Lyon to Rome route announced today will surely be operated with a Madrid based aircraft. And we must also consider that the destinations selected are traditionally high
frequency routes.
Aggregate daily frequencies (approx) offered by competitors:
Rome: 16
La Coruna: 11
Asturias/Ovieda: 10
Toulouse: 9
Lyon: 6
Casablanca: 2
Easyjet has just gone into further battle with Iberia, Air France, Spanair, Alitalia, Vueling and Air Madrid. Easyjet will have to offer high frequencies on these routes to make an impact and to appeal to business passengers. Not one single route today was a new route. At least when Ryanair set up in Madrid, the airport will get some new routes like Eindhoven and Biarritz.
Good luck Easyjet
Hopefully the likes of Iberia will be motivated to overhaul their antequated way of running an airline. PS - Interesting to see Lyon getting 2 new routes out of today's announcement. We have to remember too that in choosing this latest base Lyon was one of the candidates who lost out to Madrid. So it seems that Lyon's under construction Marseille-style low cost terminal is attracting in the airlines already. When will we see Ryanair there?

I think there are more routes to come. LYS-CIA could be done from STN.
'Off Stand' GEZYS is the only 733 left in the fleet. GIGOR finished on the 4th. YS does an ALC return on 21st before departing for Shannon at 1300z.
Buster, that flight will it be doing? What is the reg of the last a/c?

According to Spanish Press
Easyjet announced yesterday that finally it will not fly this winter between Tenerife and Madrid, although initially had asked for slots to establish five daily connections between the capital of Spain and the Island.

And again, EZY doesn't seem to be very happy to serve Malta-route head-to-head with FR, as Malta Today reports:
True, don't you think?
Would we have somewhat oddly FR serving Malta from Luton and EZY from Stansted? Or will EZY give it up altogether?
(Maltese) Government is expected to be confronted by EasyJet officials tomorrow, protesting at having to share Luton airport with Irish rivals Ryanair.
Should government insist on Luton, EasyJet are more likely to pull out of servicing the Malta route.
Contrary to Ryanair – who immediately responded to last week’s invitation by government to start low-cost operations to Malta – EasyJet chose to keep mum and just responded to a call issued by government for “talks” this week to discuss the details of the offer.
While EasyJet’s press office insisted not to comment about any matter relating to Malta, sources close to the UK based-low cost carrier revealed that EasyJet officials will tomorrow submit to government a proposal to offer Stansted or Gatwick.
Luton airport serves as EasyJet’s headquarters and it is believed that the airline was never keen to share an airport with Ryanair.

From a quick look at GINFO I make their current fleet 32 x 737-700 and 76 x A319's. It also still shows 5 x 737-300 still registered to them although they say "potential change of registered owner in progress." I guess although they've done their last flights for EZY they’ve not been de-registered yet.

The airline is in crisis due to a lack of crews so isn’t it about time that the airline introduced an emergency timetable that they can actually operate then passengers can have confidence that their booked flights will actually operate.
My sister-in-law who books flights for her company has recently abandoned easyjet after two consecutive bookings from Aberdeen to Luton were cancelled. She got a refund for the cancelled flights and the operating return legs but now uses a more reliable airline, as easyjet can’t deliver.
The airline is shooting itself in the foot by driving away repeat business passengers and leisure passengers who only need to be caught out once to hold a grudge against the airline.
How do they get away with selling flights they know they cannot operate?

EZY canx flts from STN again
I see todays NCL and BFS are canx AGAIN, EZY want to watch their backs, as Airberlin might look at NCL soon, I bet AB are getting EZY pax on their BHD route already.
Think of all the intrest EZY are making on all the canx flights, well the money has to come from somewhere to pay for all the cabin crew training.

EZY canx flights
daz211
Don't think EZY would have any money at all, if the passengers used
EU Regulation 261/2004 to claim compensation (minimum 250 Euros).
As neither your post or LTNman's stipulated if passengers were given any notice of their canx flights I would add that airlines do not have to compensate passengers if they have given at least two weeks' notice of a cancellation.
