Easyjet - 3

[MUFC_fan]

I dont think they would waste them anywhere in UK......

What?! There homeland, the biggest aviation sector in Europe the UK?!

I think that if EZY were to expand in the UK it would probably be in the North as that is where airlines such as FR are weakest, only having one base and DUB and SNN connections from the other airports. LBA could be a possibility. LS have been daring enough to enter EZY territory in NCL, BFS and a little in EDI, and EZY are not shy of doing it either - STN (FR) and LGW (BA).

Anyway, next base would be expected in continental Europe surely

Any rumors about the next Easyjet base?

I bet on LYS or MUC

[cesare.caldi]

Easyjet have put on sale the winter flights for Bristol base.

A lot of reductions on route to Italy:

BRS-CIA from daily to 5x week
BRS-MXP from daily to 6x week
BRS-VCE from daily to 5x week
BRS-PSA from daily a 2x week

BRS-MRS close: last flight 29/09
BRS-BOD probably close: last flight 28/10

With these reductions and closure will be free space to open now route from Bristol...

Was suggestion of a 5th based A319 for GLA - anyone know more ?
Surely a CDG service cant be far away

[JoaoGuimaraes]

Easyjet and Easyjet Switzerland has more than 900 slots requested to winter 07 in Porto LPPR - OPO.
Bye now, Easyjet only announced Geneva (Starts this week).
New routes for Easy in Porto, any suggestions?

Regards!

An obvious route is London-Porto
and maybe MXP-OPO, MAD-OPO, ORY-OPO...

[MUFC_fan]

Don't just assume that they will only be used by other based a/c. This could be the next base for EZY.

Afterall, they have to put those bright new A319s somewhere, and with 35 more on the way, more space is needed and more bases are needed!

[The Flying Cokeman]

I think you will in the near future see LGW to Funchal and Insbruck. That's what the rumours are saying on the the EZY line.
There are also talks about a new base in CGN, but that could change 200 times.

[cesare.caldi]

CGN for me absolutely no!

CGN is the major base of Germanwings (first company of the airport) and base of Tuifly and there is a lot of others low cost airline.... too much competition...

Stay away Easyjet...

[MUFC_fan]

Like one of the most powerful airlines in Europe is going to pay attention to petty airlines such as Germanwings! Yes, TUI's 12 based a/c maybe a problem, but if they can find a maket, they will exploit it!

[Charlie Roy]

I think Easyjet could successfully operate the following destinations from Cologne/Bonn:

• Milan
• Geneva
• Lyon
• Bordeaux
• Marseille
• Belfast
• Glasgow
• Newcastle
• Bristol
• Riga
• Tallinn
• Casablanca
• Marrakech

petty airlines such as Germanwings

Just because they're not big in Britain doesn't mean they're a petty airline!

[MUFC_fan]

If they were to come up against EZY and FR, they would be wiped off the planet. The two airlines are soo powerful on the European stage it is frightening.

Alot like BA out of LHR and KLM out of AMS...simply unmatchable.

[airhumberside]

I dont think Germanwings are petty, considering their size and most importantly ownership. They are owned by Eurowings, which is 49% owned by Lufthansa ...

[MUFC_fan]

LH may be able to provide extra money, but there is a limit.

Personally, I think that CGN could well be a new airport for the airline as they will need to increase their presence further than Berlin and Dortmund as FR have recently opened new bases in the country. MUC is probably more likely.

[airhumberside]

MUC would be interesting as it is an LH hub. TUIFly and AB already have a base, but those are leisure flights, not offered by LH, or former dba flights that LH has had as competition for ages.

But if Easyjet went into MUC it would likely involve large scale competition on LH business markets - more than just STN. If EZY started say MAD, CDG, MXP, AMS and VIE, I doubt LH would not respond. But would Easyjet be able to withstand this?

MUC would be high risk (far higher risk than expanding against a weak AZ at MXP for example) but the reward could be big in gaining market share on key business destinations out of Munich

[MUFC_fan]

EZY are starting to offer more and more passenger services in their model and offering extremely good fares for their products: major airports, new aircraft and frequent flights.

The only problems would be Germany's loyalty to LH like France with AF. Also the inflight service offered by LH and the connections available with the airline.

But, if you can compete with BA on the London market and IB on the Madrid market, anything is possible!

[Three Yellows]

When are EZY going to take on Bergerac?

FR and Flybe have increased capacity there from no flights in 2002 to nine a day on a busy summer sunday?

[EI-BUD]

Easyjet new destinations

Vienna Austria , Fontasnarossa Italy, and Baneasa Romania, Vienna will be from LTN as discussed on forum and the last 2 will serve Milan MXP for starters.

I have heard at least one of these will be a new base.

Anyone heard anything?

[NickBarnes]

To be honest i find Germanwings cheaper to fly with and a much better service than easyjet, if i go via cologne to my destinations. so i would stick with Germanwings, and so would many people i know because of there great service.

people who say Germanwings are petty, have you seen how many routes they do from Cologne and Stuttgart

And where else...

If routes from the airport were launched, the foreign passengers would recognise the EZY name more than Germanwings, however many German passengers fly with them.
