Easyjet
Ashling - interesting post....
Easyjet was under performing on 7 based aircraft.?
is that by profit, ticket sales or something else?
could you explain this in greater detail?
Easyjet reducing down to 3 aircraft has let JET2 to grow and now JET2 have 5 based aircraft and a greater choice of routes....
Surely JET2 are making money on most of these routes?
Easyjet have lost a lot of ground at NCL to other carriers mainly JET2 trying to get this back will be very hard.
Im going to Palma in sept and JET2 was more than Easyjet so ive booked with easyjet.
Take PMI are a route easyjet went double daily then reduced this to daily. JET2 are offering this route daily and sometimes on the 757 so more seats are on offer between the 2 carriers rather than Easyjet just having the route like they used to.
does anybody have the fares that both airlines offered say 3 years ago to the current time is there much difference between the 2 carriers?

EASYJET
JET 2 will actually have 6 based a/c this summer.
The last new route Easyjet introduced to NCL was Malta which seems to be a success. I think the best way forward, if they look to grow at NCL will be by using more A320 a/c and seeking out new routes (not served by other carriers).
Each additional a/c introduced needs three rotations a day to make it worthwhile.

EZY/LS
So between them both there will be 9 based aircraft...
Im sure at the start of the easyjet base it was stated that the 10 year plan was to have 10 aircraft based by year 10.
Did easyjet just grow too quickly from NCL and it then became unprofitable?
Jet2..
Anybody know the spilt of there operation from NCL between flight only and jet2 holidays??
Also jet2 offer seats on there aircraft on behalf of other tour operators something that i think easyjet never did from NCL?
Maybe if they did we may still have had a 5 or 6 based aircraft from Easyjet

EZY
I think it's important to remember that Jet2 isn't really on a comparable scale to EZY on a larger european basis. Yes the two of them compete in the regionals, but EZYs strategy has changed since the base opened. They used to insist on flying every route, every day - even if the aircraft went nearly empty. The number of based ac rightly reflects the demand and the load factors appear to be outstanding compared to a few years ago.

Very good point about EZY being a year round operation to a steady number of destinations compared to the seasonal nature of Jet 2.
Let's not forget that Flybe are also serving NCL pretty well on a year round basis, even giving us two new routes this summer.

Still NO - NCL-CDG

Easyjet Paris
What were the load factors on this route ? Last journey I made to Paris with easyJet it was quite full - both directions. Demand seems to be there - Possibility of Air France upgrading to mainline with larger equipment? or will prices be on the increase!

New Routes BER, FRA, EWR, etc...
Newcastle continue to succeed on profitable mainline routes, I therefore am not concerned with easyJet's lack of growth as well as that from Ryanair. However, I am slightly concerned by lack of progress with mainline operators to Frankfurt, Berlin, Milan, Zurich/Geneva, Scandinavia, and of course New York (on at least 3 days per week), and other Trans Atlantic regular scheduled operations. Now IS the time for expansion - Before full economic recovery, so that increased traffic is monopolised upon in subsequent years.

For businesses, a link to Germany is far more urgent than transatlantic. My recent trips between Newcastle and Frankfurt have been on Air France and KLM. This has its ups and downs. While I like the KLM E-195 and relish flying on the A-318s that AF uses from CDG-FRA, a direct service would be far better. Next time I'm going to use LH from EDI-FRA. I would go NCL-DUS-FRA, but it is invariably more expensive. Germanwings are expanding; has NCL spoken to them?
To be fair though, how many UK regional airports support both EZY and KL on the AMS? If there is any EZY NCL-AMS expect to perhaps lose a KL rotation but otherwise they will probably co-exist.
