EasyJet - 4

[pabely]

but you could also add Meridiana/Volotea/Croatian/Alitalia and even parts of the Norwegian network

All these would have to come cap in hand to EZY, their only assets are slots. EZY could just wait for them to fail or retreat then move in accordingly, but that is the same as a few. I'm sure they would be happy to see Norwegian retreat from LGW.
RYR have walked in to Italy over the years and not worried about Alitalia in the slightest.

EDI to SOF seems to be winter only, to 24 April. I assume that it will at least in part, be on contract to a tour operator.

With Brexit Easyjet will not be taking over anybody as EU Airline has to be 50.1% owned by EU Citizens.

He also holds British citizenship so he can be either.
Kind of one way to force the board into his line of thinking.

Self service bag drop at MAN a mess

Arrived at MAN yesterday for what I knew would be a very busy flight with lots of large families not known for easy communication. The self service weigh and tag terminals were crowded and several were not working. When I got to a terminal it failed half way through.. Queues were getting longer and the staff were running around trying to do manually what was meant to be automatic.

Frankly, if they returned to traditional bag drops, there would have been the same number of staff, but shorter queues and fewer annoyed passengers. Automated systems cannot cope with families with buggies, car seats, overweight luggage and that is one family of nine including a baby.

Back to the future easyJet.

Alasdair AND Louise

[planedrive]

Alasdair1, As you're told every year, again and again, no one knows the easyJet schedule apart from the commercial department at easyJet until the flights are released. Your continued question on the same thing year in year out is boring to say the least.

[DC3 Dave]

Wot... no ppruners in the commercial department? How very disappointing.

[Gulf Julliet Papa]

If it was that important why not fly with an airline that has daily flights to Turkey?

[jensdad]

What an unpleasant place PPRuNe is sometimes. All the best on getting things sorted for your wedding, Alasdair.

[toledoashley]

Third Thursday in the month is usually the date... but you can never be certain.

[FQTLSteve]

Alasdair1 Not sure where you are located, but Turkish Airlines fly frequent daily and more flights to Istanbul from London, Birmingham, Manchester and Edinburgh all year round, maybe it would be safer to book with them from your nearest of the airports they fly from. Just a thought.

[Mr A Tis]

I would never book a "time critical" flight using a loco. If they cancel for whatever reason you are left to rebook maybe days later or your money back. At least with a legacy carrier like TK, BA, LH, KL they will get you there one way or another.

Does anyone know what kind of "crew welfare" issue would result in a MAN-GIB flight diverting to Malaga?

EZY1963 this morning was severely delayed due to tech, replacement plane from Gatwick ferried up to Manchester and fresh crew onboard.

The diversion was announced hours before the plane left Manchester.

[LAX_LHR]

It might be that GIB is a 2 captain airport, and there may not have been 2 captains to to operate the flight. Not 100% sure but that would be my guess at the situation.

I think easyJet requires some additional training for operating into GIB. My guess is that the stand-by crew didn't have the correct paperwork for GIB.

I believe this to be the case
