Is this just part of BA Euroflyer? or in addition to their original press release of 18 SH BA aircraft?
We're not BA going to lease some slots to EZY so they could expand as well at LGW?

This is further expansion operated by Vueling. It will likely get a BA code but obviously there is no Club etc on Vueling.

By complete coincidence (of course!) the only route where BAEF and VY overlap is Malaga. I think BA could send A380s there and still fill them. In fairness most of the routes VY are planning are pretty interesting destinations in their own right, if slightly off the beaten track from a "Spain = Costas" tourism mindset. Are any of these served by easyJet at the moment?

At 'just' 18 aircraft the BAEF operation needs a bit of friendly help to use all the LGW slots. Is there any word on which aircraft the LGW operation will use? 18 is a conveniently identical number to the A321ceo fleet thats had a few years parked up in Spain.

Just reading an article about RYR expanded base at DUB and it says LGW will be 8 daily S22.
Is that above pre-covid levels?
Along with 8 & 4 daily to STN & LTN from DUB that's alot of capacity!

Yes, I think FR 8 x daily on DUB-LGW is more than pre-Covid, but not 'new' for S22. They were operating 8 daily flights on the route from the start of the Winter season (end of October) until the New Year.
Cut quite drastically for the moment, as is much of their European network

Ryanair used to operate 8 daily DUB LGW pre pandemic in 2019. I recall that also would have had daily SNN, ALC and ORK. So I'm guessing they have something like 11 slot pairs. Clearly other routes operated at times including Kaunas, Seville or Malaga, but subject to be corrected .

I remember back around 2010 when Ryanair were operating about 15 routes from LGW - That was largely due to the BAA debacle at STN during that time - but don't think LGW-DUB was operating at nearly that kind of frequency then.
