didn’t think we would see easyJet doing this route. Good to see that they are trying new things for NCL hopefully see more in the coming months

I can't see another NCL to AMS route lasting.
KLM fly up to 5 times per day with lots of connecting passengers so Easyjet won't pick up any of these.

It's a shame they couldn't have been more inventive with their route options.

I think when you compare the size of other AMS markets such as Bristol, Glasgow where easyJet and KLM co-exist, there may be room for pure P2P for weekend visits either end. Perfect long weekend options with these flights.

Kind regards

agree easyJet is after point to point it won’t effect KLM’s traffic much as I’m guessing 90% of it will be transferring to other klm flights

Spot on....these flights are aimed at the leisure P2P market...with fares as shown , I think they should do well.

Very curious as to what the big announcement could by....maybe Turkish Airlines to Istanbul

Bare in mind a lot of the current leisure market to Amsterdam will probably currently use the Booze Cruise boat. Would they change from that?

When fares start from £25/£30ish then yes. Not everybody wants to get the ferry.

I would be surprised if they didn’t make it work.

They've tried it before mind

Don't forget that this is shown as a new route from AMS..I believe the Dutch are the largest European source of tourists to visit Newcastle and the North East each year.

either way, great to see another easyJet service and also agree this will target different types of passenger so hopefully an overall increase in numbers

[SWBKCB]

I agree - probably competing with the ferry as much as KLM

Have they tried it before? I don’t recall easyjet operating NCL-AMS when they had a base. The airport claim the route is being reinstated, I am not so sure it is.

I vaguely remember it but a few years ago now.

[Jamesair1]

Same here....a long time ago,....but I thought it was Jet 2 who operated it.

[LiamNCL]

100% easyJet operated it around 2012

[NCLEGNT]

EZY AMS

Can’t remember the year it operated but I’m 99% sure it went close to the same as the KL964 on a evening

Taken from OTNE - 30/06/2014: 19:07->19:33 G-EZGK [A319] EZY6453 NCL-->AMS

[Jamesair1]

Thats a 10 year gap in operation....it may have been Copenhagen that Jet 2 tried a few years ago.

Jet2 have only done CPH as Xmas flights. EZY formerly operated NCL-CPH though for a few years
