GB Routes
....along with some routes that EZY do not currently serve.
Remember when they took over Go they kept the routes and aircraft until such time as their own Buses came available. Haven't looked at the technical specifications of the GB Buses yet but EZY Buses are built in a curtain way......whether this can be applied to the 321 if the route justifies it, in the EZY model, I'm sure they have already decided!

EZY is gonna take full use of these A-320/21's and will have a real chance to evaluate these aircrafts for the EZY model. From the emails I've got from the EZY intranet it sounds like the "old" GB part will still next summer be flying from the north terminal by their own crews and planes. So for the moment it will be run seperately, wouldn't surprise me if we see 2 "bases" in LGW in the near future.

I can see the A320/A321 moving away from LGW to other bases such at EDI and NCL. This will mean easy will be able to add places like TFS and LCA and take on the likes of JET2 and flyglobespan.......
HH6702,
Why should they move the 320/21's away to start up routes to the canary islands from other bases?
If they want to start certain routes they can do it with 319's too, don't forget the 319 has the best range for the 320 series, the 321 has the worst one.

uklad007,
Here's details of the BA routes, from MoneyAM.
BA said it plans to start services from Heathrow to Faro and Malaga and from Gatwick to Faro, Gibraltar, Ibiza, Malaga, Palma and Tunis from March 30, 2008.

Don't forget that GB's newest 2 321s, and not to mention the next one thats on its way, have the extra centre tanks and increased weights. The range and useful load is increased considerably..

Wait til Willie gets Cityflyer doing some of those routes out of LGW!!!!! did hear on the grapevine that they were thinking of using the RJ on some routes at weekends that could use a smaller airframe over the winter schedule but I laughed at the idea. The RJ already goes to some of the places mentioned in an earlier post, also the Cityflyer fleet because of the LCY restrictions sits around mostly unused at weekends.

Monkey Lover,
True and that's exactly my point!
If they need an unrestricted 319 to fly a certain route they will do so thats why we have a mixed weights of 64,66, and 68 tonnes aircrafts. My point is the 319 can easily do long routes, u don't need a 321 being moved all over the place to do that for u.
Our planes going to RAK and ATH from LGW do it several times a day.

From what I can read from previous posts the GB 321 has extra tanks, which can make TFS possible.
Yes the 319 would struggle, but it's still possible. My whole point was that a standard 319 has the best range of the whole 320 series before any modifications.

Reading the shareholder presentation on EZY's website, it appears that Easyjet have every intention on keeping the A320 & A321's and using them for additional capacity.

EZY at MAN
Reports on the local online press in Manchester tonight quote an Easyjet spokeswoman as saying
"We have bought GB because it will allow us to expand, particularly out of Gatwick. As far as Manchester is concerned, at this point we just don't know. We've not made a decision."
Would be a handy way for them to get into MAN, but I think the sticking point here maybe the arrangement they have with LPL?

This is in the Liverpool media;
easyJet spokesman Toby Nicol said today that the GB routes would not be to the detriment of Liverpool: “We have a very well-established base in Liverpool with eight aircraft there, so our priority is very much Liverpool.”

Yes the priorty is Liverpool !!...............after limited new routes over the past couple of years......Ryanair have come in and overtook Easy as the number one carrier at Speke with a whole load of new destinations!!
Why do I think that you have a real dislike of Man...DWPL??...Is it me or has anybody else noticed this????

Is it a Gatwick thing?
Err...mainly yes!
Have a look at the easyjet website, and look for the announcement on the GB purchase on the homepage. There is further pdf presentation about the situation in the investor relations section (a link is provided at the bottom of the announcement).
The great thrust is what it means for easyjet at LGW vis a vis other carriers, slot ownership etc.
The BA website says the following;
Advice for customers travelling from 30 March 2008 to/from Gatwick and Manchester
· From 30 March 2008 easyJet plans to fly the published BA/GB Airways 2008 summer schedule from Gatwick under the easyJet brand.
So...the last statement fails to mention MAN whatsoever despite the fact the presentation features the MAN base.
Jury's out!
