at the prospect of being called a troll unfortunately all travel companies can only survive based on how
much cash they have and how much they can borrow. as turnover is minimal and expenses high the cash pile is only going down.
Even the average person on the street knows that there is no certainty that they’ll be able to go abroad next year at this point.
this then leads to the bigger question, are the governments doing the right thing by shutting down such large parts of the economy to protect what appears to be a small
vulnerable group...

One wonders what on earth the union are trying to do......a strike at BA last year which shattered customer confidence and a non event strike at RYR which had no effect due to the dismal support from the rank and file. Now they are trying to undermine another company with their incoherent idiocy.

Interesting development. A reflection of the signs for a stronger recovery on the leisure front perhaps. Will be interesting to see what the route network does - whether it be just serving existing routes from the other end with cuts on UK, or other mainland Europe bases. Could STN, SEN and NCL be contenders?
Are you cracking jokes? Recovery.. is not even yet on table.. like Wizz they are moving to better bases for when all this **** ends, when it ends. The moment historic slot allocations are being let go we will see huge influx of Wizz and Ryanair moving to big airports. Wizz moving to Oslo first of many examples. Ryanair cant wait to move inn big to for example Amsterdam etc.
Easyjet wont have this oppurtunity as they already present. But for Wizz and Ryanair they have many big airports to pick from, and for them "low yield" of a major carrier is still "high yield" just my 2ct.

This maybe more to do with Brexit than covid recovery

Out of the mouth of babes. 🤦
You do realise easyjet Europe (OE a/c) and easyjet Switzerland (HB a/c) make up more than half all easy aircraft.
These new bases and aircraft and jobs are
going to easy Europe, they won't necessarily be for flights to UK due to the complexities of Brexit.
Boris Johnson deadline is 7 days time and we still don't know what's happening.
I'd say that was possibly a relevant factor in their decision.

Many of us don't understand the relevance of Brexit. It's a shambles! That aside, if these new bases are going to be easyJet Europe, why are so many aircraft being re-transferred from the OE- register to G- ?? One would have expected it to be the other way. There must be significant cuts within EJU elsewhere to account for these transfers. It would suggest that within a smaller EJU fleet there will still be spare capacity for these new bases..

That’s my point - if they have European fleets with EJU there is no ‘Brexit’ requirement to set up European bases - it must just be for commercial/operational reasons. Jet2 do something similar that also helps them recover their programme more quickly if they have tech issues in that part of the world/Canaries, avoiding the EC261 compensation etc if they keep delays under 3 hours.

Once the UK, leaves the EU halfway house at the end of this year, the right of UK citizens to enter the EU becomes weaker. Since the relaxation of total lockdown in July, EU countries have treated the UK as quasi-EU and thus Brits (unlike other non EU countries) have not been told to get lost when trying to enter EU states. Yes, there may be 2 weeks quarantine, but entry is generally possible. See the EU's policy on Serbians entering the EU since July 2020 for details
It is not clear at this stage how welcoming/hostile the EU intends to be to Brits wishing to enter EU states in 2021 while the pandemic continues and before a vaccine is widely available. Airline bookings between the UK and EU may be subdued until there is political clarity
