Good news from easyjet and very surprising of the routes...
CFU - do we need another airline on the route ?
Yes if it's different days to the other carriers
RHO - nice choice
Spilt - didn't jet2 try this one before ?
All good news does this mean a 4th based aircraft now?
Still think they should be looking at routes which could work year round not just the summer... Routes to Hamburg etc

Yields????
Now I might not be very good at sums but....
People go on about loads and yield.however a flight to Corfu once a week ,nearly four hours flying time.. At a fare of £150 ish. One way. Compared to two flights a day to gatwick(also potentially) feeding into a massive easy jet network at a fare of approx £100 one way for 50 mins flying time.?????
Can some clever person explain what is the better and cost effective route????

£100 one way. Take £13 for apd (you pay it both ways for domestics!) plus gatwick charges I would guess will be about £20+ a passenger and handling will be more expensive. Plus I doubt they were achieving an average of £100 each way on gatwick, v v v unlikely!
Corfu will sell 90%+ of seats at upwards of £100 avg one way.
Gatwick loads where in the 60-70% ish and I reckon average fares around £60-£70 minus £30 ishin charges and tax.
Once the aircraft is cruising it's not burning huge amounts of fuel and crew is paid for, plus long flight lots of ancillary revenue from the holiday makers drinking lots, eating lots and buying lots of tax free ...
I'd say more money to be made on Corfu, but like you I don't have access to figures, just thinking aloud ...

I got flights to LGW in March for £22 each all in. Booked last week. So with 12 weeks to go they can charge just £22. A CFU flight in six months time can fetch five times that, with less APD on return sector, lower charges I assume and the chance to make ancillaries, which people just don't gother with on a hop to LGW.

easyJet also introducing a Fear of Flying Course at the moment.
Regarding developments at NCL, are they continuing the focus on redeveloping the departures area, and how close are they to being finished?

The development in departures is still on going, they're about half way through the process by the looks of it, it's meant to be finished for the start of summer 15 I beleive, hopefully they'll have a look at the gates next as they really are in need of a refresh.

Easyjet winter 2015/6
Shall we start taking guesses what CFU will be replaced with then
Berlin - Xmas markets??
Salzburg - ski
KEF,AMS??
So do this now mean that easyjet and the airport are now working more closely or easyjet is trying to cover what they could have had

Thomson Airways are adding a Friday flight to Hurghada for winter 15/16. On sale today (11th Dec). Also operating to Larnaca for winter too (not sure if the LCA is full season yet)

Hopefully the TOM, HRG flights mean TCX did well with their NCL-HRG flights in November and have strong forward bookings. Hoping for a positive coexistance on that route this time next year.
HH6702, CFU, RHO and Split are all summer seasonal so hopefully that means 4 new similar length frequencies for winter too, or more shorter ones. This begs a question, as NCL is losing 4 weekly AMS and 2 daily LGW, these 15 weekly frequencies have been replaced by 4 (albeit longer) weekly flights, do EZY still have considerable slack or do the messed up Bristol schedules even everything out?
I (half tongue in cheek) posted on the aiport's announcement:
"Very pleased to see this, I'm almost sorry I ever doubted EZY (but the Bristol schedules still need fixing!) roll on more Easyjet for 2016! Berlin, Marrakech, Milan, Munich and Reykjavik please"
I live in hope they see sense and grant us a fourth aircraft and tap these destinations, if they can do Split where one has failed already and jump in on CFU/RHO against NCL's big 3... I'm sure they can do those 5 with no competition.
For winter though I almost expect to see something like Sharm El Sheikh, going for winter sun rather than ski, as they have with Tenerife.
