Does this mean:

Nov/Dec: nothing
Dec-Mar: reduced timetable
Mar on: Full schedule

[toledoashley]

LGS6753 - Yes, That's what I understand.

I believe the Airbuses are quite different having different galleys, seats & software which will all need to be taken by engineering which with full Winter maintenance program started will take a while to get under their processes.
Crewing will have to be hired and brought under the the Easy way of doing things.

[virginblue]

Don't they also need the approval of the competition authorities?

G-EZPB is the new resident A320 at LONDON SOUTHEND AIRPORT

All of easyjet’s rostering / ops / crewing function is done from Luton. I’m confident they’ll be able to cope with a few more flights over winter (daily peak over summer was 1700 sectors per day).

I think he was pointing out the arrival of SEN's winter-based A320. The MLA route starts today.

[southside bobby]

Right oh thanks,tho I was under the assumption there was an A320 at SEN anyways.

[Expressflight]

Hopefully the 4th aircraft for S2018 will be an A320.

[southside bobby]

Yes right oh.
Separately & generally I see EZY retire 5 more A319`s by year end.

I'm sure Ops are up to the task, it was engineering I was referring to.
How long did the GB Airways Airbuses last when EZY took them over.......!

[easyflyer83]

The GB 320’s lasted around 3 or 4 years at EZY. They had minimal reconfiguration, just the wardrobe and opposite side of the forward galley were removed and an extra row installed.

Having different cabin configurations won’t be a major problem, atleast to start with.
