Can't see why Easy would buy Baby, if they wanted all have have to do is go on the route themselves.

I agree with the last posting.

With BMI not appearing interested in Baby all they need to do is wait until its 'disbanded'.

Save them a lot of money too doing it that way.

New routes from FCO: ATH, AMS, LIS and SUF

Just read easyJet to announce Liverpool to Lanzarote and Fueteventura with the A320.

LPL-FUE (starting Nov. 2) 3 weekly
LTN-SSH (starting Nov 3) 3 weekly
LTN-PFO (Starting Nov. 4) 3 weekly
STN-FUE (starting Nov. 4) 2 weekly
EDI-LYS (starting Dec. 17) 3 weekly
LGW-HAM (starting Feb. 2, 1010) double daily, LTN-HAM will stay
LGW-OPO (starting Nov. 2) daily

New routes for Amsterdam after the travel tax was abolished yesterday:ok:
Madrid will be 2x daily.
More is coming: Basel will go to 2x daily in the winter instead of daily now. Milan MXP will be 3x daily instead of 2x daily now.
5x daily flights extra this winter compared to this summer for EZY at AMS.

Source is their booking engine.

Easyjet also have slots for a 3rd daily MAD flight.

also new routes of ltn-ssh and ltn-pfo

starting 3rd and 4th november respectively. flights go every other day

I'm just wondering about the new/additional flights out of MXP (FCO, NAP, SUF, AMS, MAD and BCN will be increased each by one daily) and FCO (AMS, ATH, LIS and SUF are new routes and each will be served one daily) next winter.
This are 10 new daily flights operating out of Italy and EZY said there will be (only) one additional a/c (No. 16) arriving at MXP.

Where the heck are ssh and pfo?

ssh=sharm el sheik
pfo=paphos

hope it helps:ok:

h.p.
 

Any news for the pilots in the pool along with the new routes? 1 year and half swimming now...

cheers!

BSL-AMS was 2x daily last winter as well. The aircraft are used on other routes in the Summer.

New EZY base to open in FCO beginning of November this year so more new routes to come in the future ahead.

also another new route from ltn to be announced within a week or 2

There is a gap on a Monday for the new LTN-SSH/PFO schedule. As Thomson are dropping Madeira for the winter my money would go on that as 1 or 2 times a week (FNC has been dropped from Gatwick!)

Very interesting!

I've thought there is more to come cause up to now there was no PM about the new routes out of MAN and the latest 15 new routes.

What about Tunisia? EZY flying to Maroc and Egypt but not to Tunisia. Any reason for that?

What could be the next routes for LGW? Beside ARN, BRI/BDS, TLL/RIX or Asturias/Bilbao maybe NTE almost all destination are served. WAW and OTP didn't work in the past.

Tunisia would be a fantastic market for easyJet, daily to Tunis, 3/4 per week to Monastir and 1/2 per week to Djerba.

From Gatwick for 2010 maybe?
Stockholm/
Oslo/
Bergen/
Antalya/
Kos/
Manchester/
Reykjavik/
Belgrade/
Varna or Bourgas/
Pula or Rijeka/
Vernoa/
Catania/
Ponta Delgada/
La Coruna/

seljuk22 you seem to be in the know.

Any more routes for man..

Seljuk, i believe easyjet are not currently in Tunisia due to an open skies agreement. However this is due to be abolished soon, next year i think? Apparently the Tunisian Authorities are a little relentless on allowing the likes of easyjet and Ryanair access as they feel it could damage Tunisair.

With routes from Gatwick, i personally would like to see more routes into Scandinavia, and im sure Stockholm is just a mater of time. With regards to OTP, With Aer Lingus recently announcing the route, perhaps easy will give it another shot just to over saturate the market.

I know nothing, unfortunately.

Vuelo

What site is saying another 9 routes, interesting if true.

Seljuk22 Thanks for reply.

"What about Tunisia? EZY flying to Maroc and Egypt but not to Tunisia. Any reason for that?"

There is no opensky agreement UE / Tunisia it means only bilateral agreements applied.
UE / Morroco opensky agreement exists, evrybody in UE able to fly!

The new tunisian airport ENFIDHA due to open in october may be will change quickly the situation

easyJet announces new base!
 

FCO.... beginning November 2009.. looks like a strategy to expand on the Italian market.Pilots on italian contract.

I am very interested in FCO as being in the holding pool and living in Rome!
May I ask you where the info is coming from and how certain it is.
Thanks.

Company mail-shot on Friday - Only MXP based pilots are being asked (forced) first..........

Forced??:eek: why force pilots while they have so many in the holding pool who would be so much happy to join in fco? Come on easy give us a call!:ok:
Will they use new aircrafts for fco or move some from mxp?

craggenmore doesn't tell you the whole story:

Currently there are 3 a/c nightstopping in FCO. These a/c are crewed from mxp, therefore mxp is overcrewed. If they were to get "external" crew, mxp would remain overcrewed, which is of course not ideal. So the company hopes that there will be enough volunteers to go from mxp to fco, and I can think of a few, so that both fco is crewed and mxp is at the right crewing level again.

If there isn't enough interest from mxp based pilots to transfer, anybody else in the company can bid for fco, based on doj.

Base opening on 2nd of nov 2009, which will also see the amount of a/c go up to 4 initially.

thanks PGA
well if one additional a/c will go to fco may be they will hire some external crew for that aircraft at least. i hope so at least...

Traffic June 2009:

Passengers: 4,146,609 +0.8%
Load factor: 86.3% -0.6 p.p.

Not bad for the toughest trading conditions the company has seen in its short history. These figures are in comparison to a record breaking summer last year!

It`s yield that is important though, all well and good having 100 pax paying £10 but 50 paying £50 would be better

Last year figures include the addition of GB Airways but the corresponding GB Airways figures for 2008 were not included so the growth was overstated but think everybody is aware of this.

Will we ever see additional flights to Bournemouth (EGHH) ?

There has been alot of speculation around LTN for awhile now it could be Tel Aviv with the 320

Just looked at LTN - SSH - LTN

LTN - SSH Dep 11.10 arriving 18.30
SSH - LTN Dep 19.30 arriving 23.20

So that makes from Check In to Check out 13 hr 50 min duty ouch :\ but it shows a 1hr turnaround time in SSH. Is this similar to LGW?

Pretty similar. Sometimes is 55mins rather than 1 hour. And my pain from a 13:50 duty time disappears when we cash up!

Are the pilots allowed to do nearly 14 hours?

Yes, using Level 2 alleviation.

Adamski, my old friend..... you'll love them Sharms!!!!

They taste all the sweeter when you realise you're only paid for an ATH. The rest is free.
My last SSH was flown using a new route and was approx 2,400nms each way. Long day.

Serious question as you have landed (plane usable again so its a great landing) and stress of work over, then you get to your car.

Is Pilot safe to drive after 14 hours in the air ?
