Why are EZY so keen to launch ATH routes? Surely given the crisis in Greece it's one of the last places that the airline should be moving into, especially on routes where there's no real history of consistent previous scheduled service like EDI and BFS-ATH.

Also Easyjet have purchased a new name "Easyjet Atlantic"
Is this the old 2008 chestnut of the once proposed link-up between easyjet and Virgin Atlantic to purchase Gatwick Airport?

Madrid, Lisbon and Berlin would be great if they was offered from Belfast but do we have enough travellers interested in going off the usual beaten track of bucket and spade to sustain such routes?

If David is right, all I will say is, another Tenerife....... On the face of it Athens sounds silly but happy to be proved wrong. Surely year round to Turkey would be a better option in that direction to serve all those people who own property out there? I suppose EasyJet know their customers better than all of us so good luck to them on whatever 'new' routes we get.

Southend could be a really money spinner for Easy if they could sweet talk rail companies into offering a few less stops on the run into Liverpool St.

As David has said, yes, but not on all flights, first departure Mon-Fri is BFS based.

Let me get this right, after EZY have said that they want to consolidate all of there ops at BFS and after having seen no tangible benefits to operating from BHD and now that they are again performing better from BFS on the LTN route than it did as a BHD route LY why on earth would they move some of the flights over from March next year?
Seems most odd to me.

Unless BHD are paying them a tidy sum to operate some of the flights?
There is no listing of this either on Easyjet.com or on Staff Travel.

Ei-bud, i referred to Bfs, not Bhd. The first departure is operating by a Bfs based unit from start of S12.

Does this mean Ezy are increasing based units at Bfs from then?

Unless new routes appear, no.. will remain 5 for Winter 2011 and 6 for Summer 2012 (arriving sometime between 26th March to 30th June), if new routes appear with depatures before 0730 and no changes to other flight times, a 7th A/C will be needed
