Why increase freq causing a reduction in load factor and a reduction in profit
When they can control the market to the extent where they have full flights an maximum profit
Even EI haven't increased freq
NI market to London has been swamped in recent years between Ryanair and Air Berlin at one stage and EI before flybe dropped LGW

Finally BE exit BHD LGW, sad day when you consider this was one , if not their busiest routes in terms of passenger numbers for many years. Also one of their longest standing.
BE traditionally carried 20-22k pax consistently on the route pre EI entered the route. BE had 5 195's per day at a point. EI with only 3 319s per day, they can expect best case scenario to carry 20k per month.
The route carried a very respectable 42k pax last July far in excess of ezy BFS LGW but ezy of late carrying more than the combined winter figures for EI + BE of over 32k pax per month
May release of CAA stats will tell the tale ...

With easyjet in the next couple of years introducing the airbus320 into there fleet they won't have to increase freqencies on the London routes just use these bigger aircraft some of the Lgw flights are carrying 170 pax on busy days at the moment.

All the fleet are to be A320s. 35 more from next year and then the huge tranche of NEOs from 2017. The A319s are on the way out, rather than the fleet expanding much.
Which makes sense as they were the wrong choice in the first place. Fuel consumption is about 120 kg lower than the A320, but with the same number of cabin staff and 30 fewer seats.
Plus EZY bought the low-MTOW A319 which affects resale value; extra range is normally the A319's attraction. Ooops.
And of course the sharklets improve performance on short routes; even the 1% saving they offer on a 200 mile flight is beneficial.

When should we see EXS, TCX & TOM put S15 flights on sale i'm almost sure last year EXS, TOM & TCX put them on sale at end of april?
Wonder if we will see any new airlines for next summer with the new owners now?
I think EZY puts W14/15 on sale soon as well!

Looking at the pax figures for KRK for last year EZY had an average of 95% load factor. (3 flights per week x 52 weeks in year = 156 flights with 46406 pax)
Can anyone suggest a logical reason why they are reducing to two flights per week starting in the winter schedule?
