Easyjet - 3

[BOU_PAX]

> Whats obscure about Grenoble and Geneva?!

Indeed, Geneva did excellent numbers as ski destination from BOH last winter and is operating as a x9 route this year. Grenoble is x3 (TuThSa) as a ski route new this year and Krakow is the thrid Polish route to launch from BOH (WizzAir service Gdansk and Katowice) so there is clearly a demand (that or the Poole Pirates speedway team next year will be made up of all polish riders....)

With EZY and FR both rumoured to be launching bases in BOH in the not to distant future and the new terminal building works finally underway, exciting times ahead.

Forget ever seeing any new bases in UK.... all new bases will be mainland. Some may even be aircraft bases but not crew bases. i.e. night stop only

[SeamusCVT]

Despite Outofsynch's post, and although I have already posted my thoughts on where the alleged new EasyJet bases are to be, my personal opinion has now changed to 2 out of MAN, BHX and LYS

[MUFC_fan]

Very interesting to see MAN, could you explain why please?

Thank you.

[PPRuNeUser0178]

I say again, CDG & LYS.

[outofsynch]

Isnt CDG already a nominal base? Because Paris crew are all dual based although only operating ORY at present.

[orangetree]

It's LYS and CDG . Forget MAN..at least until EZY have finished trying to change their agreement with LPL. BHX would be above BOH in the pecking order but I would agree that we are unlikely to see new UK bases anytime soon. I have also heard the idea about nightstop bases abroad.

[easyJet Galley King]

Nice being one of them - for us Bristol boy's anyway. Although i know crew already night stop here.

Also, hearing Amsterdam - they've done it in the past, very dangerous though.....

The announcement is imminent

According to French press (La Tribune), the announcement of two new bases in France will take place tomorrow.

Easyjet passe à l'offensive en France.
Le transporteur britannique à bas tarifs va, selon nos informations, annoncer demain la création en 2008 de deux bases d'exploitation en France.
L'une dans le nouveau terminal à bas coûts de l'aéroport de Lyon-Saint-Exupéry, l'autre à Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle.

[toledoashley]

With TOM withdrawing from LTN on the euro routes - please could EZY have some sence and operate Prague, Jersey and Marrakech.

[flyzen]

The annoucement of 2 french bases is confirmed in various french press releases for 2008 (summer 2008)
- 2 * A319 will be based on LYS base
- 3 * A319 will be based on CDG Base, and quantity of arcraft based would go to CDG to 12/14 in the next 3 yr
From LYS Easyjet will certainly schedule domestic flights

[Just Browsing]

In the past easyJet have stated that a mimumum of 3 aircraft are needed to make a base viable. If indeed it is to be 2 aircraft in LYS then I suspect it will be nightstopping crews - in the first instance, in any case.

That said, both bases would seem to be among the favourites currently rumoured. The other is Lisbon.

Easyjet New Bases

Found this when digging around the markets this morning, explains the SP rise...

http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail/?display=news&code=cotnZJ.L&action=article&articleid=63180 43

Hardly a shock but at least it puts the idle speculation to an end

[Right Way Up]

Although it is only reported by a newspaper and not the company. Still time for idle speculation.

[flyzen]

Time of speculation is off now we enter in time of announcement
- For CDG slots clearly required and date of terminal move (EZY will go from T3 to T2) known
- for LYS to morrow press conf will take place in LYS, certainly not to announce a UK base

[flyzen]

To my knowledge EZY will maintain ORY flights
The only change as alredy posted will be in CDG from T3 teminal to T2B one and the date of move will certainly be on early jan 2008.

[airhumberside]

Easyjet maintain LIN flights alongside a MXP base so a similar situation at Paris wouldnt be unprecedented

[flyzen]

Some of the required slots for new CDG base network (winter season)
KRK,VCE,SZG,LDE,BRE,AGP,RAK

Aren't Sky Europe launching a daily Luton-Prague service from October, and I thought Luton-Jersey was going to be summer only for TOM.

[OLNEY 1 BRAVO]

Sky Europe start Prague - Luton at the end of the month.

TOM were reducing from daily to three times a week during the winter on Jersey - Luton
