Hi there, I was reading somewhere that Easyjet have flexibility on the delivery dates of their new aircraft, I think it was Andy Harrison who said 'unlike our competitors we can slow the deliver rate if we need to'.
Not sure if this applies here but it does sound like the airbus order is quite flexible.
What happens to all the planes on order?

I think very good figures! Pax only up 3,4 is not very good, but all the others big europe carriers (apart FR, LX and TK) lose passengers and the LF is very high (one of the highest in europe, KL and LX could reach this maybe) and up over 3pp 
which no other could say!
I hope: LF up - yield up - profit up and next summer back in track with better business environment (oil down and crisis nears end) and more growth.
Are there 14 or 15 a/c in MXP now? If not when will the 15 a/c come and what is the further development in MXP?

Pax only 3.4%
Airbus will allow some flexiblity but are unlikely to let easyjet take no planes.

I now understand why there was a board room bust up over stopping expansion. The board will be able to see forward bookings and I guess they will look grim. I guess you need to tell airbus quite a while ahead you wish to slow the arrival of new planes. At least they are not as committed as ryanair and GB has allowed them to offeset some of their decline. After Jan the growth due to adding GB will have worked out the stats and we could have a real reduction.
Airbus deliveries can be delayed for up to 2 years. This comes from AH's mouth himself.

There is nothing on the website as yet, according to the FAQ section seats to be released tomorrow morning.
* Found it now, really looking forward to DBV

Jet A1 - to answer your question about the 1st EZY configured A320. Guessing since the ex GB aircraft are due to leave the fleet soon guessing they will go to LGW to replace them.
4 new routes from LGW
I think someone at EZY has been reading my post. 39 mins after my original posting here, the text was deleted from the public website !

Although the summer routes from LGW are not on sale yet, they are showing up on Ebookers and Travelsupermarket.
Searched LGW to MLA for two weeks in August, showing up as Easyjet at £140! By the time you've added baggage and card fees they are only £5 cheaper than BA or Air Malta!

Way To Go
Reminds of the story about the politician staying in old USSR during cold war, talked to the wall on last night and said it would be nice to have some really good vodka and caviar. His host gave him a present of it next day as he was departing for the airport with a knowing smile.

Waited ages to flights to come on sale, but cheapest LGW to MLA was £150 with all fees and baggage.
Flight with BA on same dates was £131! Wish I booked a few weeks ago as it was £100 when I checked!
Lesson learnt for next time!

easyjet at East Mids
That would be expansion of destinations and not flights as far as I can
see. Prague has gone from daily to four a week to accommodate.
So they are competing with Baby on Nice having seen them leave Prague.
Okay this is probably more down to Ryanair starting Prague but it is just swapping routes about.
However I agree not the actions of an airline about to leave an airport in
the short-term.

the prices will come down - give it a week or so!!! The prices are high as the flights were released today, and everyone is booking, therefore the computer system looks at demand and whacks the prices up. when demand falls ( in about a weeks time) prices will be back down to £30 or £40 one way!!! So hang in there
