Just looking at EZY's route map and saw this:
No information on their site/launch dates.
I'm guessing Iceland?
EDIT: My mistake. It was 'meant' to be the Helsinki route line. However appears they messed that one up.

Is it still the plan to take these GT a320 / 321 out of the fleet at the close of S08?

LGW - FCO appears to be an out-and-back job, but the MXP - FCO flights seem to cross with the FCO - MXP direction, suggesting something else is going to operate in / out of Rome to balance. Any ideas?

Interesting choice, though I suppose easyJet currently fly to both MXP and LIN from LGW.
No doubt this will put extra pressure on BA, who do not have an early morning departure from LGW. On the other hand, they have an aircraft nightstopping at FCO which operates a very early flight into LGW.

I think FCO would be the next port of call.
CIA is full and they can make three strokes with one move:
1. Compete better than BA on the LGW route
2. Stick it to Alitalia where it hurts
3. Grow in the Rome district
Hopefully U2 will be able to expand in Italy and we may finally see to the end of Alitalia. Personally, I hope that Alitalia disappear and Air One are able to step in but that is very unlikely!

Just looked on the website and LGW-CIA is no longer on sale after 2nd November. LGW-FCO starts on 3rd November. Maybe just switching airports to gain more slots and expand?
The MXP-FCO times look like a nightstopping MXP aircraft and crew, or potentially a new base? Its not unusual for EZY crew to nightstop - LGW have nightstops in BFS and MXP, ORY have nightstops in NCE and the CDG + LYS bases have no permanent flight deck based at all, only local cabin crew.

Just looking at the MXPFCO timings in a bit more detail.
Arrivals into FCO:
0910
1415
1815
2200
Departures from FCO:
0745
1000
1600
1855
So, from what I can see, the 2200 aircraft nightstops and operates the 0745 departure the next day.
The 0910 arrival operates the 1000 departure.
The 1815 arrival operates the 1855 departure.
Now, the question, the 1415 arrival, by process of elimination, presumably operates the 1600 departure, though 1h45 seems a long time to be on the ground? I assume this is a crew change, but is unusually long. Slots?

MDS, It's quite common for Easyjet. They put a new destination on the top left corner of the route map. After that(a few days later) they move the dot to the right location on the map.

The arrival of Easyjet at FCO for me is a first step to move later all Rome operations from CIA to FCO and in future a possible new italian base at FCO.

Well, I hope you're right, Cesare Caldi, because Ciampino is a lousy airport. The only bloody place I've ever heard of where you have to call the handling agent 20 min before you land and get your parking stand. No ATIS either and there are performance limits on the south east runway, so bring on FCO

BTW new routes: CDG-CMN 7/7 and CDG-TNG 4/7! Start 27th and 28th October.
Is MXP-HEL a new route? Why is it on the route map but you can't book it? I thought only ARN and CPH are new destinations?
