Dont know why both routes are ending but presumably either lack of demand or issues with the airports in question have driven the decision?

HI Wycombe and Wallp, Thank you both for your replies When I have travelled on the Lgw- Dus Flight they have always been busy, When I found out that the DUS was finnishing Easy Jet told me to book to Koln. I think it must be a problem with certain German Airports or Slots, At my age i do not want to start driving round the M25 /M1 before or after flights. Thank you once again.

You can be fairly sure it's not Slots.
Have you ever heard of Yield? It's the main component in whether a route is viable or not. Even if loads are high, if yield is muck then the route is muck.

T211,
Getting slots at the right time of day into DUS maybe the issue and at the face of it DUS should be a winner due to the lack of Ryanair city size, industry etc. Hard to know the specifics unless you are on the inside. EasyJet from memory only had a daily evening service which certainly doesn't fit to their business traveller agenda, so one could surmise it is slots and commitments to the morning slots at Gatwick.
You prob already know that you can get BA, Eurowings /LH ex LHR... May not be attractive though.

The Easyjet DUS flight is not well timed. We used it just before Christmas and due a delay ex LGW had to divert to Cologne due to night curfew.
Was not happy as the bus service provided between cologne and Düsseldorf took us to the airport not the city so still had to make a further journey and by now very late at night.
EZY should retire it to a more user friendly time of day rather than ditch it

Would you not logically ask this in either the Gatwick or Easyjet threads?
Also, a tip. "Köln" is known as "Cologne" in English

Probably has to do with the ongoing Ryanair/Germanwings bloodbath on STN-CGN. They have been selling tickets for 10-15 GBP regularly over months and months. This will probably lure a lot of passengers to the CGNSTN who would otherwise consider travelling from another London airport and/or DUS.
Btw, DUS also lost its STN link recently - at DUS, it is down to LHR and LCY now that STN and LGW are gone.
