Where did you get that information from?? I see nothing on their website. Also do you mean ALC and BCN?? AMS is still available for booking and would be very surprised if they axed that route!
FRatSTN,
The route reductions at STN will be announced later today on the 26th but its BCN and ALC not AMS. Mentioned routes will stop in January and June 2013. New routes such as RAK and SSH -tickets will be available from 1st of November I believe.

So lets get some things straight. At the moment, schedules are showing 9 A319's until June, until that reduces to 8 A319's for rest of the summer. Assuming this does happen, will Stansted have 7 or 8 A319's along side its new A320. So bascially are 2 A319's going and 1 A320 coming in or is just 1 A319 being swaped for an A320?
I must say I'm surprised with Sharm El Sheikh since they already fly there from both Gatwick and Luton.

Has EZY ever considered Ostend as a destination ?
From the UK anywhere north of Brum would be a good short hop. Ostend in itself isn't a bad summer destination, but it has good rail connections to the rest of Europe.
Whilst our southern friends can enjoy a ferry or tunnel hop over the channel, from MAN, NCL or GLA nipping over the channel isn't so easy.
I have travelled with Laker (1-11) MAN-Ostend, but that was in 1975 :-) & took only 45 minutes.
A cheap quick link over the channel is what many northerners would like. In fact, I'm surprised RYR hasn't bagged this one.

New routes have been mentioned on the Southend thread -

Ah yes they did, RYR Ostend but to London (Stansted)only. Surely, it's the London pax that don't need a short hop over the channel. Add another 200-400 miles road journey (ie MAN, NCL,GLA) then an Ostend service would become more viable. Short hops can also be viable to dovetail into a schedule to maximise useage of the fleet & crews.

New routes from Stansted to SSH/SOF & RAK.
stluke,
I am not sure if it has been mentioned before on this thread regarding new routes- but my internal email from the management has written this a few days ago regarding the 4th plane coming from STN to SEN:
"From 17 June 2013 we will move one aircraft from Stansted to Southend. This will enable us to fly to new destinations from Southend, such as Berlin and Krakow, as well as increase frequency on a number of routes."
Hopefully that will answer your question!?

Sometimes when you hear something on a confidential basis it pays to keep that confidence.

Going back to the new Stansted routes. The article says "easyJet’s 2013 Summer schedule (up to 8 Sept 2013) from Stansted Airport now features 1.7 million seats on 10,900 flights to 27 routes across Europe and North Africa".

I have today received an e.mail communication from the Emirates Skywards customer loyalty programme. It advises that EasyJet is enlisted as a new partner, and that Skyward loyalty points can now be redeemed for flights with EZY. EasyJet flights are available from a starting level of 7500 Skywards points for a short-haul one way flight. This option will certainly be very useful to me, and no doubt to many Emirates regulars based in Europe. In my case, I will now be able to redeem Emirates Skyward points on short-haul journeys ex-MAN ... that makes the accrual of Skywards points very worthwhile.
