Re the peed off Bulgars, from the info given on the link, it appears to have been snowing heavily at the destination and just maybe the crew thought, in the interests of safety, that a divert was the order of the day.
Just because these 3rd world airports say they are open, it dont mean that they are safe to operate in...ask anyone who flies in Africa for a living
...I wish em luck..Dont think Stelios will lose much sleep..

asyJet, the UK’s largest airline, today announced that it is opening 14 new routes across Europe, for summer 2009. Nine of the new routes will operate from UK regional airports, giving travellers even more choice of popular destinations.
Also, not causing an LPL v MAN war again but how does easyJet think that Liverpool to Dubrovnik has more demand than Manchester to Athens?
I'm guessing the Athens route will become daily when Olympic run away.

Erm, yes, Manchester is a regional airport...it's outside of London and doesn't have a major hub airline, so I would rather consider it a regional airport.
And I do not think it strange that Liverpool starts with more flights to Dubrovnik than Manchester to Athens... Dubrovnik is a highly popular tourist route, where as Athens is not a large tourist market in its own right (compared to many other similar sized cities in Europe). As Olympic is already in a vulnerable financial position, I bet EZ are confident they can wipe them off this secondary route through a slow expansion, rather than an all-out assault (with all the costs that this would entail)...have more faith in the EZ route planning departments!

A regional airport is an airport serving traffic within a relatively small or lightly populated geographical area. A regional airport usually does not have customs and immigration facilities to process traffic between countries. In Canada regional airports usually service connections within Canada and some flights to the United States. A few U.S. regional airports, some of which actually call themselves international airports, may have customs and immigration facilities staffed on an as-needed basis, but the vast majority serve domestic traffic only.
Aircraft using these airports tend to be smaller business jets, private aircraft and regional airliners of both turboprop propelled or regional jetliner varieties. These flight usually go a shorter distance to a larger regional hub. For medium-size countries like France, Germany, Sweden, a regional airport is an airport used with smaller planes, even though they go to the national hub, just like flight from larger domestic airports.

An international airport is an airport typically equipped with customs and immigration facilities to handle international flights to and from other countries. Such airports are usually larger, and often feature longer runways and facilities to accommodate the large aircraft commonly used for international or intercontinental travel. International airports often host domestic flights (flights which take place inside only one country) in addition to international flights. In many smaller countries most airports are international airports, so the concept of an "international airport" has little meaning. In certain countries however, there is a sub-category of limited international airports which handle international flights, but are limited to short-haul destinations (often due to geographical factors) or are mixed civilian/military airports.

Oh for God's sake stop splitting hairs. MUFC_fan are you ashamed that Manchester is in the regions? Where did you find that quote btw? It's incredibly bad form to quote without the source you know.
This is worthy of an anoraks handbag fight on airliners.net is this !!!

EZY neg growth
Easyjet started to add GB airways pax into its traffic numbers in Feb 08. This cased a big leap (+22.5%) in year on year growth even if no more pax went on the two combined. Now offical growth is 7.3% in December which in reality is a small decline on the two airlines added. Come Feb 09 easyjet will report negaive growth as the GB boost falls out the stats.

Ok passenger traffic will go down but the world economy goes down so it is no big drama. If load factor and yield are stable (or growing) in these times it is positive.
Again new routes!?

I was wondering what the competence of some financial advisors might be in relation to the air carriers. Look at this example:
January 21
January 22
To my mind, EZY is quite an impressive performer in the present circumstances. What's the level of the expertise? Selling some airline stock could still be wise in some cases, but EZY's prospects look much better than average in the industry.
Also in HEL their start seems to be a success story. I'm sure some other routes from Germany, France or Switzerland would thrive even better (but usually everybody tries STO first in spite of heavy competition there).
January 21
UBS AG cut its recommendation for EasyJet Plc to “sell” from “neutral,” saying in a note to clients “the global recession will mean higher unemployment and fewer passengers.”
An increase in the number of passengers trading down to low-cost airlines and the strength of the euro have helped EasyJet boost first-quarter revenues by almost a third. "There has been a flight to value," said Andy Harrison, EasyJet chief executive, on Thursday.
"We've seen business passengers switching to EasyJet in search of value, and we've seen long-haul leisure passengers going short haul, so instead of going to Miami for the sun you go to Italy. In the tough times we're winning market share faster than in the good times."
Revenues for the three months to the end of December jumped 31.5 per cent to £550m ($761m), while passenger numbers rose 10 per cent from 9.1m to 10.1m.
Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, the airline's founder and largest shareholder expressed satisfaction with the results.
"I'm pleased to see the business performed so well in revenue terms in the last quarter," he said.
Shares in EasyJet closed up 31p at 286p.

Delayed flight from LPL
Morning all,
Any reason for the 1130 out of Liverpool to Nice, yesterday morning, being delayed?
The wife was on it and rang to say the flight was delayed 3 hours. Just curious, I want to bore her when she gets home tonight. That'll teach her to leave me with the kids for a weekend

Anyone with information about the further development of EZY in Italy? Heard they have applied and got slots at FCO and LIN and want to open FCO-LIN? Maybe @cesare knows more?
