New EZY route
New EZY route to be announced shortly offering some winter sunshine :ok:
|
The new route is twice weekly to Tenerife, Winter 2013....from 6th November operates Wed and Sun
|
SHOCKED!!!
Surprised by this new route!!
Didnt think easyjet was going to add anything |
Thats great news from Easyjet regarding there Tenerife service!:D Is it just for the winter season?
|
I'm assuming it'll be on the based A320. Was there any down time last winter or will something have to give to accommodate (compared to last Winter)?
|
|
This sets EZY in direct competition with Jet 2 on this route.
Will we get any more route announcements? any rumours? |
in competition with Jet 2, Thomson and Thomas cook.
Route rumours-- Funchal ? |
Turnover was up to £48.9m from £47.2m for the year ending December 31 2012, while operating profits went up to £14.8m from £13.7m for the time period, figures delivered in the light of passengers going up by 20,000 to 4.4 million, and a growth in revenues per passenger. Profit after tax also rose by 3% to £18.5m. |
With regards to Easyjet starting TFS, they will be operating it with the A319, or that is how it stands as yet but I would be surprised if that does not change especially at peak times. I'm assuming this route is the reason for the reshuffle of their routes at the beginning of this year then? Nice to see something from EZY anyway, hopefully there may be some more soon. Another one of your brand new, shiny A320's please? :D

Pier
I flew through the airport on Wednesday, and while the majority of the airport is fairly modern, departure lounge great with the floor to ceiling windows heading down towards the gates is like entering another airport. Paint peeling on the doors and walls, sad tired looking seats in the gate lounges, a lonely half filled vending machine and old style arcade games which no one plays sitting in the corner. The airport needs to redevelop this area in my opinion, I tweeted them about it and they said that had no plans to refurbish the pier which is a shame as it's not in keeping with the rest of the airport.

Selected June provisional stats:
Gatwick +3% Heathrow +5% Aberdeen +44% Paris CDG -30% Dusseldorf -30% Dublin -17% Rome +17% Venice -29% Amsterdam +32% Stavanger +7% Dubai +25% The airport running YTD is handling 4.38m +1.3% |
NCL had the 2nd highest growth in the UK-Dubai market but even with the growth, it looks like 60% loads. You can see why there was suggestion of A330s for the winter but it's the unknown quantity of cargo that could be making sure the route is a 77W

Bdaily meets Newcastle International Airport chief, David Laws | Bdaily Business News
back in October 2012, Australian private equity firm AMP acquired a 49% stake in the airport and David says the new shareholders are now fully integrated into operations and strategic direction. David adds: “The bad weather made for a difficult start to the year, but in subsequent months we’ve seen some year-on-year growth. In May we saw just over 4.2% growth and in June we finished about 2% up. Now we’re into the busy summer period. “There’s been a few challenges too. Flybe sold their slots into Gatwick so now we’re in discussion with easyJet who bought them. That’s a really important route for us and hopefully we will be able to convince easyJet that it’s the right thing to do,” adds David. He continues: “Even during the hard times of the last five years we’ve been able to keep our market roughly the same. I’ve just looked at our scheduled international passengers for the last week and it’s 6% growth, year-on-year. That represents some significant growth with the likes of Air France-KLM and Emirates. “This year we’ve had the benefit of the bigger aircraft from Emirates that just keeps breaking passenger records every month. That route has done so much for the region - business have been created as a result of it. “At the moment the record is about 9,960 passengers in a month, but in July there’s a possibility that we could reach the 10,000 mark.” |
a third less pax for CDG and DUS, what is that all about ? DUB a pretty big drop too. Are these all as a result of frequency changes ?
Is it a 773 always on NCL, as that would be a lot of empty seats if 60% loads were true. Who was the top DXB growth ? |
Growth table:
LHR up 41.1% (wholly down to QF shifting reporting points as LHR-SYD was down 74%) NCL up 25.1% MAN up 16.2% GLA up 14.7% LGW up 14.5% BHX up 07.7% If low density 77Ws were used then we're talking around 72% loads. |
A 2 class 772 would be a better fit but I gather there was performance issues with that idea. Still, plenty of room for continuing growth over the next few years :ok:
|
From what I've saw at NCL I believe we get the low density 3 class aircraft 5 days a week (no first being sold obviously) and the higher density 2 class 77W the other two
|
Jet2 appear to be doing 1 off flights to Vienna and Cologne in November, presumably shopping charters
|
