C'mon - no need to take thread down this route.
Valid point raised re timings and schedule for business pax to Bristol (and other destinations), however, I guess Airline planners do aim to make best use of resources to maximise profit potential. The trouble with Bristol & their region for daily return business travellers is there is not much of an alternative (Rail expensive and long journey times) Overnight stay in budget hotel with EZY will still be cheaper than alternatives.

BRS
I'm sure if EZY were to "kill off" BRS, then some one such as BMIR would be rubbing their hands in glee, even if they just pick up the top end of the business pax I'm sure they'd be able to make it work with a 50 seat Embraer.

Although Newcastle-Bristol is twice per day on four days per week the timings are still poor for business users. Only BRS-NCL-BRS on Mondays allows anything like a full business day. No surprise passenger numbers are falling.

Good to see Easyjet's team of monkeys have managed to cock up Bristol schedules even more! Or is that offensive to our primate counterparts?
Yep – EVERYONE knows that there are loads of high yielding business pax desperate for a day return flight to BRS.
It’s amazing that the route planners at one of Europe’s largest, most successful airlines with access to the details of travel patterns, price paid, yield, frequency of travel, etc, etc, can't spot that. Amazing.
Or maybe the data shows that there isn't?
is that offensive to armchair CEO's?

But it used to work x3 daily with well over 250,000 pax per year, they're quite clearly cannibalising it... Yes NCL hasn't seen any net decrease really but it's still disappointing

Do remind us what you do again aside from trawling GDS and certain airline websites all day so you can post on here first, always the first?
Domestic point to point is under pressure and easyJet do have the option to redeploy the aircraft to more profitable markets. Routes do sometimes carry many passengers for years then simply die with no one taking them up again. Think LGW-MAN for example.
easyJet do have a habit of refocussing on new opportunity at the expense of core and established if the new opportunity is deemed to be higher earning, which is the strategy which is doing very well for them.
He's 17, so what? #benice

Having to log in again meant, unfortunately, I had to see more crap from Skipness.
Why he simply doesn't 'let it go' with me, it's rather pathetic now.
What do I do all day apart from post news, well, what do you do all day apart from w**k over which BA aircraft has the new crest on it and put down anyone and everyone who makes the mistake of giving you the time of day. At least I post info that may be of use to some, what exactly do you post that is use to others, eh Skip? Put downs and condescension are not useful.
Oh, and the hashtag #benice. Firstly, you are in your 30's not your teens (although your attitude has me questioning that assertation),grow up. And, how's about you take some of your own advice instead of perusing this petty and stupid little grudge you seem to have with me.

Thank you for that post and I am glad someone else is of the same opinion, he has done it to me and many others on here and on other forums so I applaud you for your reply back you couldn't have put it any clearer.
But of course he won't take any notice as I am sure your aware of, he will just stay away for a day or two and come back with even more of an arrogant attitude.
I myself always enjoy your very imformative posts but well done anyway for standing up to him I wish others did, he is like a schoolboy bully or the person in the office know one likes!

Thanks guys.
I honestly don't know what aim supposed to have done to the guy to make him have this petty and childish grudge.
Frankly, for a 30 something supposed aviation analyst, his attitude stinks. The fact he puts down others for 'misinformation' but gets so much wrong himself is frankly histerical.
Also, I do question his age and 'experience' as he still, after all this time, cannot grasp the notion that he is on block. I mean, what the actual f......
What pees me off the most though, is his cowardice. He draws you in with his arrogant, childish and petty attitude, then backs off while he runs to the mods to tell on you. I don't know how he continues to get away with what he does, but, it's getting rather irksome.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that has the issue though, maybe the mods will see he is more of a nuisance than some....

The person in question even reported me to the mods and I have been banned from the British Airways forum because of him, at last people on here are seeing through him and I hope this time the mods are reading, the last few posts were a joy to read.

Maybe if some members could take a little joke and accept some #banter it might not all kick off
Of course I credit easyjet for everything they do, they're a great airline and offer some vital services to the North East, but the cessation of their Stansted route and the current Bristol situation is quite frustrating
I really hope United return for S16

Very odd press release re EZY on the NIA website - refers to "our Spring 2015 schedule" and record number of flights and routes, cos we are bringing back the ones we launched last year?
oh, and "banter" is meant to be funny...
easyJet, Europe’s leading airline, has put its Spring schedule for Newcastle on sale for 2016 with a record number of flights and routes available for passengers to book now. Over 1,980 flights are set to take place to and from Newcastle International Airport between 21 March 2016 and 26 June 2016 providing more than 324,000 seats.
Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK Commercial Manager, said: “We’re pleased to be putting our Spring 2015 schedule from Newcastle International on sale for our passengers today, allowing them to book early and take advantage of our lowest fares to cities and beaches across Europe. We’re committed to our network from Newcastle, providing 15 fantastic destinations for our passengers in the North East to choose from, including our three new routes to Split in Croatia, Rhodes and Corfu which started in June.”
