SXF-TLL 2 weekly
LYS-ARN 2 weekly
MXP-FUE 2 weekly
MXP-Lublin 2 weekly (Lublin new destination)

Unfortunately EZY just mentioned the new UK routes in their press release ... so might be more new routes (France/Portugal seems to be missing)

Interesting choice as there is currently no base in Austria nor Vienna.
Eurowings register their aircraft for Eurowings Europe in Austria, too.

In the broad context of Brexit, there was a story in yesterday's FT to the effect that IAG had refused to divulge to the FT figures for % of shareholders from within the EU;post Brexit projections, presumably.
A crucial figure for IAG post Brexit.
And obviously for any easyJet "subsidiary."
¡ At least the lawyers will be making hay !

Hardly a secret as Evening Standard has it.
IAG 24%, FR 42%

Hopefully someone a little more dynamic and ambitious for the airline than Caroline has been. easyJet has been profitable (very important!), but has stagnated somewhat, particularly outside the UK. I think they have found themselves squeezed between Wizz at the low end in Eastern Europe, FR going slightly upmarket and BA fighting back from the top down. The "mid-market" area they had positioned themselves in seems to be a squeezed from all sides.

Without wishing to disagree with Brian, it's worth remembering that under Carolyn's tenure, Easyjet's reliability has improved tremendously. As a customer I feel I can buy a ticket and (barring major weather) be certain that I'll get to my destination with minimal delay
It may not have the energetic buzz of the 1990s, but it is very much an airline for which operational execution is extremely strong. That claim was more dubious under her predecessor

That said, hasn't Stelios poured scorn over any attempts to get bigger and bigger?
Rather than being stagnant, they've maximised their aircraft in terms of passenger numbers filling well over 90% of their aircraft and as a result making big profits for their shareholders. I'd say they're doing just fine.
There are opportunities for growth, but the European market is almost saturated. There are too many airlines overstretching themselves and as a result putting on too many seats for passengers that aren't there.

I'm somewhere in the middle. While CMC has made EZY a more attractive proposition for passengers, and yes the profits have reflected that, there are issues which have yet to be addressed.
Cost per seat is a bit high, which has left them fragile in bases where they don't have a leading position. Evident from the withdrawal in Hamburg, Rome and previously Madrid. There has also been an inability to gain marketshare in Germany outside Berlin, and of course being trapped by a more upmarket Ryanair, Wizzair and majors.

Come the next high fuel price bloodbath,they will be one of the airlines that survives.
Edit: Also, come the next higher borrowing costs bloodbath, they will also be one of the airlines that survives and is stronger...
A lot of how their future is determined will come down to luck, though. If some kind of economic bloodbath happens while Ryanair are trying to work out what do do with hundreds of new planes, that is good for easyJet. If it happens after Ryanair have found things to do with hundreds of new planes, that is very bad for easyJet indeed!
