so when easyJet's fuel hedge (from last year) has run out (if it hasnt already) does that mean the chance of them dropping more flights in the winter will be reduced due to the lower fuel costs?

Easyjet 737NG's, where are they going.
I have read several times that U2 is getting rid of there 737-700's. At the moment there are still 20+ left, and I wondered if those had already been sold. If so, who's getting them, and when are they leaving easyjet? Or are they all leased, and is U2 just waiting for the contracts to expire?
PS: I don't know if this is the correct forum for this question, if not I dearly apologize. For me this is more an airliners.net forum question, but since they want you to pay to be able to make posts, I kind of lost interest.

I understand NCL is nearly completely converted to the Airbus. Correct me if I'am wrong but that leaves only BFS and LTN as Boeing equiped bases. I have seen some of the ex ezy 737's go onto American registrations to an airline called Sun country, and a few have headed to GOL in south America.

The Finnish press (Ilta-Sanomat) writes today: "easyJet's flights between Gatwick and Helsinki became so popular that the carrier had to replace its planes with the bigger ones".
Good. However, it's not a surprise for me. After all, Finland is still the least LCC-saturated EU country.
My hint: try HEL-ARN (kind of monopoly on this route), try SXF(!!!). Above all, try some Southern destinations (no low-cost flights so far, nobody offers them here).

How high are fees and taxes in Finland (or Scandinavia) compare with other EU countries? Why aren't there more LCC bases?
AB is flying more and more from Germany to the nordic countries, also TXL-HEL.

The taxes are relatively high, but not higher than in many other EU countries.
Looking for the reasons of a very minor LCCs penetration, I could point at couple of things. For some carriers (like Ryanair) Finland doesn't seem to be an ideal partner, as the attitude here has mostly been "everybody should be treated equally, no preferencies". That's why Finland loses in comparison to many other countries. The local administrations might be unwilling to "advertise" some carriers as it smells like giving some dubious support or alike. Moreover, there is no low-cost terminal at HEL nor the low cost airport nearby.
There exist, however, some new trends in Finland as well. Vantaa airport has already started granting some preferencial discounts while starting new routes, at least one Finnish airport will change the ownership this summer (Lappeenranta will be owned locally). Things might change.

More to the Canaries is a rumour, and the Egypt flights are doing very well from LGW - and don't ask, I've already looked at the performance, and it can be done on the CFM 320s from MAN
