There have been delays of 2-3 hours between GVA and LGW with EasyJet for at least the last 3 days and they're continuing this morning. Does anyone know what's going on?
Other carriers between London and Geneva aren't delayed.

EasyJet. The situation regarding summer leases is now a little clearer. The airline will take an Astraeus B752, currently expected to be G-OJIB (24292), from 14/6 to 31/8 & Titan B763 G-POWD (30847) from early July. Both aircraft will be based at Gatwick & operate routes normally flown by A321s.

Why are the 757 and 767 being used to cover for A321's? Are they leaving during the summer period? Having just worked out where all the A320's are I am amazed that there are now 7 A320's at ORY!! I'm pretty sure when I checked a few months ago there were only around 3 or2?
Am I right in thinking this is where the A320's are based:
LGW - 8 EZY Spec & 2 GB Spec (1 going to GLA from LGW)
ORY - 7
MAN - 3
LTN - 2
LPL - 1
BRS - 1
GVA - 1 (EZS).
I'm not sure whether I have just missed it but has there been no official announcement from EZY about their order for 10 X A320's? I'm guessing 6 of these will be going straight to LGW when they arrive to replace the ex GB A320's and A321's? From the above list. Anyone know where the others are due to go?
Oh yeah, one last thing when are the new routes to be announced?
I only know of MAN - AMS, I hope there's more new routes for the northern airports!

MAN-AMS is highly rumoured as they have been allocated the slots for it, although as we have seen in the past they dont have to use them!! There is also news on the Flight Global forum that EZY are looking at more routes out of Gatwick for the winter season over and above the Gothenburg already announced. I would imagine that these would be a mix of Short Haul ski? and Longer Haul leisure (maybe Luxor/Taba/Banjul)?

Apparenty its loaded onto the internal system too? Yeah I can imagine a few more routes to Egypt when the new A320's arrive or maybe for W10 to fill the gaps in where I'm guessing there will be some reductions in frequencies from S10.

What about the rumoured new routes at EDI? I'd heard PFO and 2 or 3 others were due to be announced soon but still no word. With the recent collapse of GSM, EZY would do well to "get in there quick" before FR monopolise EDI!

So according to Jethros LPL are to have a B752 based at LPL from 11th June - End of Summer season which will be leased from Air Finland. What is this actually needed for? Is the A320 going somewhere else? This could tie in with the one going to GLA?

The wet-leases are being brought in not to add extra capacity but to cover up for the unholy mess which continues to be easyJet's crewing situation. Liverpool and Gatwick are two of the bases which would be seeing even worse levels of flight cancellations for crew shortages if it were not for the fact that the wet-leases are arriving shortly. It is a simple sign that the airline is now so large that it is running the management team instead of vice versa.

I believe an A320 is due to be switched in to GLA over the peak summer. Afaik, I don't think there's been any confirmation that an A320 will be present permanantly, either as a new extra aircraft or as a swop for an A319.
