Easyjet - 3

[BIG E]

MUFC fan

I would take it all with a pinch of salt, its a publicity stunt. No such aircraft exists, its all the figment of easyjet imagination, all a bit embarrassing really.

See Channel 4's piece on he ecojet:
http://www.channel4.com/news/article...r+skies/559432
Publicity stunt rating: 9/10
Likelihood of being built 0/10.
Airbus and Boeing are working on new designs and no doubt are talking to easyJet about its needs, but not sure this is the best way to do it.

I hardly think that that would be flying in 8 years time 50 maybe, certainly is a publicity stunt

[GEAR_DOWN]

DON'T be misled!!!! I can assure you that the blueprints have been drawn by ' a large airplane manufacturer' and this airplane will be in service by 2015! Launch will be at Paris airshow!! watch this space



DEFINATELY NOT A PUBLICITY STUNT

Is it April 1?

Excellent news about the Vienna route from Luton. What chance of a Vienna Route from Liverpool?

[the_fish@blueyonder.]

I'd like to see a Vienna route from GLA or EDI, but can't see it happening any time soon.

Excellent news about the Vienna route from Luton. What chance of a Vienna Route from Liverpool?

I think that LPL need to concentrate on the JFK, SOU and LON links before discussing Austria.

Easyjet to announce on Thursday:

Berlin (SXF) - Brussels (BRU)

I expect then that brussels airlines (Schönefeld and Tempelhof) won't be the happiest of campers. Nor Lufthansa (Tegel) for that matter!
And earlier this year there was talk of Air Berlin wanting to enter the Brussels to Berlin market, so that grows less likely now I suppose...

Easyjet in the market for Jet2!

I know this has been mooted in the past, but can anyone shed any light on the rumours I’ve been hearing about Easyjet making a play for Jet2? I can see the rationale behind it, cut down on the competition while increasing their presence in the North.

Anyone heard anything similar?

[monkey lover]

Theres more chance of a friendly merger with the mob with the yellow harp !

[thepeacock]

ezy in for Jet?

Well Dart group share price is down 6% today so I guess you have got some very early and secret info or it's just plain rubbish.

[BROWN_E]

The latter was my first impression too 'the peacock', but the source I heard it from is close to the action so to speak and normally reliable. I personally doubt PM would sell up even if Easy did come knocking.

last I heard its bmi baby

EZY's business plan doesn't fit LS.

LS operates 752s successfully for a start, while EZY only offer capacity upto 156, unless they were to use some of those A320 series a/c ordered a couple of months ago for A321s!

Would be a great shock if it was to happen.

EZY at MAN, BLK and LPL - the current LPL loads would suffer. The airline would streamline into MAN and LPL and BLK would be left in the cold. NCL, EDI and BFS would see reductions and the a/c would be sold on and replaced by new a/c.

Don't rally see the point in it really.

[Sanjo]

EZY can do all that growth alone though anyway... none of the airports you mentioned have slot problems or are full so why do it the expensive way if they can do it on their own?

[BROWN_E]

There is alot to be said for taking out the competition (albeit very small competition).

Increase in yields on routes where they compete, FAO's AGP's GVA's etc

Replace all the 20 year old LS 737's with decent planes

LBA is a cash cow for LS, EZY missed out when they decided against a base there

[monkey lover]

Mind you, I suppose EZY have got to put those A319's somewhere !

Hur, Hur, Hur, Hur

[outofsynch]

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