You should know better than to believe anything TM sends out, easyflyer83. A very hefty payrise is most definitely not being asked for, but this is not a discussion for the airline forum anyway.

LIS base
Guys,
Two weeks ago, the CEO of Easyjet said that Lisbon base will open as soon as the Terminal 2 is ready to support the company, which is scheduled to the beginning of 2012.

new bases
Ok, so Lisboa is next. I've read somewhere that easyJet is also thinking of opening up bases in Cph, BCN and AMS. In fact that it was likely to be any of them if not Lisboa. Is this likely to happen in the near future? Southend took me by surprise as I thought that easyJet already had a strong enough position in the London area. If you look at the routemap, easyJet have a strong presence in the west and south parts of Europe. Will expansion come to a halt before easyJet tries make all of Europe orange? How does the orderbook of a/c's look?
Cheers

BHX need EasyJet to set up a base, the airline no longer serve the Midlands apert from GVA & GNB during the Winter.
Lots ot of routes unserved, excellent transport links (railway, motorways etc).
Massive catchment.
Why are they not interested ?

Come on, BHX5DME... This has been discussed for years in the BHX forum. Ain't going to happen. You mention one thing already: Our railway link (West Coast) to London is too good these days (85min to Euston). And you think the M5 and M6 are excellent motorways, really, when, at 2am ? And BHX's management is not the brightest. But mostly, EZY is very big at LPL, MAN, LTN and BRS, while we at BHX can't even feed WW and BE properly with passengers. You want a BHX-BER on a A139 (!) when even BE's FRA has been stopped ? Get real... BHX's catchment area actually is much smaller than you think, people are turning their back to it.

MAN - but for how long more? Watch the space

EZY will move to T1 aswell in November as T3 can't cope with Easyjet expansion.

easy & BHX

Some strange examples used - flybe to Frankfurt is competing with major International airline with four frequencies everyday and to a massive hub but
Berlin would be competing with Ryanair at EMA only or at push easy at LTN.
Also flybe had two weekday frequencies on a Q400, which on a good day was serviceable and it was all geared to the UK based passenger with very
little code-share feed at Frankfurt (Qantas?). The only surprising aspect is that it lasted so long.
Catchment Area - not quite sure what you mean by your statement. Isn't it clearly defined as the number of people living with a certain radius? If so, it is big and most seem to agree that BHX only gets a 40% share. Although I agree that the proximity of London & Manchester is a major factor but not insurmountable.
The easy way (no pun) to improve on 40% would be get direct services to places where people want to go and easyjet seem to able to give an airport this option (see Manchester) but if the airport bean-counters are happy with their lot and won't make any short-term concessions on fees, then that is fine if it fits into a well defined long-term strategy (dubious?).
If they have made concessions and easy still are not interested then
that is that but very frustrating for us in Midlands when comparing to other airports although I realise it is never as simple as that but I would love to know the nature of past discussions between easy and BHX.

Sky News reporting renewed hostilities between Stelios and the EZY board about fleet size. Stelios wants a fleet reduction and cash returned to shareholders (he holds 38% of the shares IIRC)

This is just the latest. Stelios has been banging on for some time,in the financial press, about returning more cash to shareholders (him being the largest) as he openly said he wanted to raise cash to `invest in more projects`...no doubt more failures like Cruise/Car/Cinema etc etc.
However the only entrepreneurly success he ever had, Easyjet, is being well run by the present management, which now just ignores his regular `teddy out of the cot` routine, and appears to wind him up. His views dont seem to find favour, in the financial press, either like they once did.
I`m afraid the expression` Busted Flush`comes to mind...shame because I liked the guy and he put low cost on the map but times move on eh...

EASYJET INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
Highlights (figures below are for the quarter ended 30 June 2011):
· Total revenue grew by 23.2% to £935 million
· Number of seats flown rose by 17.1% to 16.7 million, load factors improved by 0.2 percentage points to 86.3% and sector length declined by 1.6%. There was a 17.3% growth in passengers (8.8% growth excluding the impact of the 2010 volcano)
· Total revenue per seat grew by 5.2% to £56.02, up 4.6% on a constant currency basis. Passenger revenue grew 3 by 2.5% to £44.37 per seat as capacity investments made in F'10 and the first half of F'11 began to mature. Ancillary revenues grew strongly up 17.0% per seat to £11.65 as a result of management actions taken in the second quarter
· easyJet had £112 million of net cash as at 30 June 2011
· On Time Performance continues to improve and was above 80% for the network in the quarter
· Continued good progress in implementing the strategy outlined last November including the launch of a flexible fare on easyJet.com to enable our 'travelling on business' initiatives. The number of passengers travelling with easyJet on business in the quarter increased by 20%
· August is the important trading month for easyJet but with over 75% of summer seats now sold we expect at current fuel and exchange rates4 to deliver a pre-tax profit for the year ended 30 September 2011 of between £200 million and £230 million assuming normal conditions which approximates to a ROCE for the year of between 10% and 12%
