Thomson Ibiza details
According to the Thomson booking engine flights will operate to Ibiza from 23rd May until 19th September using Jetairfly. Don't know if this is true as it only appeared this morning so would guess there could be some changes.

Jetairfly like Thomson are part of the TUI group. Their aircraft have the same livery as the Thomson fleet. So that seems to make sense. It looks like a choice between the 737-700 and the E190 for a SEN programme as they no longer use 737-400s. But there is plenty of time for changes.
SEN-PMI is also shown as operated by Jetairfly, with two rotations per week, a Tuesday service in addition to this year's Saturday flight.

Jetairfly operate 737-700s as their smallest aircraft I believe.
Also it looks like Jetairfly will operate the Palma route too in 2014.

DEP: IBZ 10:20
ARR: SEN 11:40

SEN/GENEVA
Geneva airport has released details of easyjet schedual flights to SEN for winter 13/14,up to 6 flights per week and new flights on MON-THURS,might be something to do with the 4th based plane arriving in june
I assume these will be the 6 x weekly as bookable on the easyJet website and GVA are just catching up.
One piece of information that I gleaned from the latest published Minutes of the Consultative Committee was the statement there by Alastair Welch that EZY hadn't intended adding a 4th aircraft as early as summer 2013 in their original plans.

Anyway, all a sign of success, so roll on the fifth based EZY jet........

Seems a possibility that the Geneva route could become year round next year.
'Geneva, which features in the airport's winter schedule, could also became a year-round destination, according to sources at the airport.'

Equally interesting in that article is the comment that this summer's EDI is seen as being mainly a tourist route but that it will change to more business-friendly timings this winter. Does that mean double-daily I wonder.
Incidentally, the inaugural flight yesterday carried 72 pax outbound and 40 on the return.

According to the timetable the plan for SEN-EDI is that the frequency will rise from six per week to seven in the course of the winter schedules. Monday.Tuesday and Saturday will be early morning rotations. Wednesday Thursday Friday and Sunday will be evening rotations. This pattern is identical to that adopted for SEN-BFS when that route reduces from double daily and with very similar timings.

Yes, indeed. It was a strangely low key launch of the new destination compared with the launches that others have received over the past year. I'm sure EDI will be a popular destination from SEN though, given time for people to become aware of the service.
I hesitate to question easyJet's judgement on matters of scheduling but I'm surprised at the winter EDI schedule, which seems neither one thing nor the other for the business traveller. I would have thought that with four based aircraft a double daily could be accommodated.
They obviously originally thought that BFS needed a double daily frequency and now they will have both BFS and EDI routes being of only limited use to the business traveller.

SEN for business in London from EDI could be pretty good. RBS's office is only a few miniutes from Liverpool St station so I'm sure a double daily from EDI would work well for them. Not to mention many other companies and individuals.

The timings don't seem favourable for travel originating from Belfast and Edinburgh to Southend. It seems EasyJet are realising that Southend is much more of a passenger generator than a receiver, (basically many more passengers using SEN as their origin than their destination) unlike the other London airports which are more 50/50 hence why they have timings and schedules to support that.
