the wait for easy goes on then....wonder if it will ever happen......................

the wait for easy goes on then....wonder if it will ever happen......................ANSWER no ;)

mr gayrugbybloke why so interested in EZY? MAN has a fine network of low cost options through a variety of operators. Why the need for EZY

DWLPL,

You seem to take geat delight in ridiculing speculation on a regular basis if it has got anything to do with MAN.

I cant wait to see you disappear if any of these romours actually do come off...(with a big IF)

eggc,
The reason that DWLPL has a swipe at Manchester so often is plain to see. His local airport is obviously Liverpool who apart from freight and the odd charter survives and has expanded virtually solely as a result of Lo-Cost cariers.

So imagine how annoyed dwlpl and other Liverpool based people must be when in the last 2 years Manchester some 30 miles away from this Lo-Cost hub has seen some 30+ daily Lo-Cost flights announced.

I just wonder if things were the other way round would I be full of so much self pity and try to ridicule anything to do with LPL ????.

I Think not.

Here we go again...................

another `my airports better than your airport!` spat.......

Boring.........

We should all be grateful for a wide choice of airlines and routes from BOTH airports. LPL and MAN operations should complement each other, and so far I think they are both doing a pretty good job. Here`s to the future and expansion at both airports.

Where do I ridicule MAN?

ManofMan
You make it sound like LPL has had no new routes in the last couple of years can i just remind you that Wizzair are due to start in December Aer fungus have already started Air Wales are giving it another go and Flybe with there numerous routes with more in the pipeline and not forgetting Emerald with there IOM route. And many more

easyJet have indeed applied for slots at Manchester for Summer 2005:

Amsterdam 3 x daily
Basle 1 x daily
Dortmund 1 x daily
Rimini 1 x daily
Palma 1 x daily
Malaga 1 x daily
Alicante 1 x daily
Newcastle 2 x daily
Belfast Inter 3 x daily
Nice 1 x daily
Bilbao 1 x daily
Madrid 1 x daily

plus easySwiss on 2 x daily Geneva-Manchester.

Looks like quite an invasion.

DWLPL....


WHERE ARE YOU NOW

:-)

MAN-NCL???? whaaaat??

Manchester to Newcastle is a pain in the bum by train and can take as long as three hours, so an air service would be a great idea - though lets face it, they'll probably get them and then turn them in to Man - ALC or PMI instead!!

Is this EZY stuff at MAN just a wind up though? Where has news of these slots come from?

Didnt EZE or AKL try NCL and lasted all of a couple of weeks

Its all Hot - Air until EZY says otherwise.

Mom

well said MOM...lets not forget that plenty of airlines have applied for slots in the past at ringway and not gone ahead with services.....

it might spur my fave airline, BA in to starting a few new routes though!! Get in there early before another Lo Co arrives!

Interersting list, still some of the old favourites though. I would like to have seen some more variety like Riga, Tallinn, Warsaw, Bratislava or Ljubljana.

(I know Air Baltic do Riga and LOT Warsaw)

Maybe if this comes off then in the future they may appear.

The BFS is interesting - bye bye baby!!

would be interested to hear from dwlpl and the other ezy staff at LPL - did they know about this pretty big news?!

this anouncement may not mean basing any aircraft at MAN - it could all be done by utilising the aircraft based at EZY's other bases e.g. Dortmund, Amsterdam, Nice etc......

I bet they'll only base about 2 at MAn to begin with....
