The Air Finland 757 (OH-AFJ) in full easyJet colours is due into Liverpool later today.

I fear BOH will have to wait for an Easy base. Newcastle is all but being abandoned despite there being no opposition from Ryanair at all.

Word on this thread is that the Danish or Portuguese capitals are about to get a base. How true that is remains to be seen.

The regions of Britain can go fish - despite the bases in the provinces and regions doing well. Easyjet falls into the trap that only flights from capitals are economically feasible. How sad - how shortsighted!

What are you basing this on? If the same aircraft can make money abroad then it's the best oplace for it surely. pprune is full of posts saying how great things are just before the base gets shut. There's a whole load more competition in the UK, it can get to the stage where it's just not worth the candle anymore.

rhodes to liverpool. sat 19th june... what aircraft does this.. says 757.

Whats says 757?

flight stats says it a 757. if not what is it

easyJet -> flyorange ?
 

Any truth in the rumour that a project team has been set up to look at re-branding the whole operation to the new name of "flyorange" - I've now heard this from 3, unconnected, and normally very reliable sources...

Awful awful rebrand name. This is perfect opportunity to upgrade the public image of the company. Flyorange holds no class whatsoever!

Says so on OAG too.

Up until now its been the A320 and the A320 is stiil here today.

The A320 is down to fly the first PMI service tomorrow.

flyorange, thats truly rubbish. Something like flybus, jetbus etc would be more apt. Im sure Stelios would take the Orange from them as well, so I just dont understand that. Im sure orange (mobiles) would have a thing or two to say about that as well.

LPL-AGP (early morning) and LPL-RHO 19/6/2010 are both operated by OH-AFJ.

dontdoit - where is this rumour coming from exactly?

I have no information on whether EasyJet will rebrand or not, but it is not unheard of for companies to talk about a rebrand with an unconventional name, but actually do something radically different

A well known example of this is when PriceWaterhouseCoopers (aka PwC) announced the rebranding of its consulting arm to 'Monday'. Seven months later, PwC sold its consulting arm to IBM
BBC NEWS | Business | Monday name change for PwC

If flyorange is to be the name, then a Mr John R Van der Ree living in Hilversum in the Netherlands who registered the flyorange.com domain on 20 July 2006 is likely to make quite a bit of money soon.

Thats correct.

To be fair this was being mooted in Sunday Times in May as a way of distancing the company from Stelios who is demanding royalties for them using the "Easy" name.

Apologies for quality but here is the 1st departure

From within the company we have been told by the management that the company and Stelios are not interested in getting a new name for EZY. We can expect a settlement between EZY and Stelios ie. he get's a bunch of pounds every year and we are all happy.

757
 

I must say I think the 757 looks much better than I expected it to do in EZY colours!

A bit of variety for LPL this summer! I do wonder whether the passengers will notice any difference in on board service though.

Is it a wet lease, where the crew will be from Air Finland/Astraeus, presumably in different uniforms and perhaps with crew that will not be so familiar with the motions of EZY procedures? If this is the case I am sure they have been briefed!
