Does Anyone know if Easyjet are planning to lease the 757 again this summer? I am flying LGW - SSH on Easyjet and really hope it is a 757

Thanks

dalej123,

I think it highly unlikely..... expect a new A320. No plans (yet) to subcharter at all.

Don't panic..it's a one-off

..... as posted by lplsprog earlier.

Saw earlier today on the other site. Well people keep whinging about "eurowhite".

If it's a 'backwards' livery then shouldn't the tail be white with orange writing as in the pic it's the same as all of the of the other ezy aircraft?

It's the 200th Airbus apparently . . . ;)

BBC News - Easyjet losses widen as fuel costs rise

"The carrier reported pre-tax losses for the six months to the end of March of £153m ($250m), up from a loss of £79m on a year ago."

Bad set of results that will no doubt have the majority shareholder making his feelings known about expansion.

Shares in EZJ sharply up 5.36% as I type.

As the statement said - on target to meet full year profits as per business plan. This is an an airline that increased capacity by 12%. In a fragile economic market.

The oil price collapse and looming London Olympics will combine to put considerable upside on this story in due course.

:rolleyes:

Every year we get this . . .

It's the half-year results which are always a loss - like most airlines, a loss is made in the winter and gains are made in the summer as www points out . . .

Liking the all Orange look.....:ok:

It in the results pdf as well that they normally make a 1st half loss!

Absolutely. Plus the additional loss on last year almost entirely accounted for by increased tax and increased fuel bill. Ancilliary revenue per seat remains mainly flat but pax's continue to increase and yields remain strong.

You are all missing the point, it was just an expected opportunity for someone to have a pop at Easyjet and we all know why.

As a side, there will be some announcement attached to the bright orange A320.

The above is in response to a question asked on the staff intranet. The A320, according to jethro's fleet lists, is due on the 16th.

After almost three years without any news (other than cuts), after that Manchester - Alicante which launched 29 September 2008, I wonder if easyJet will have short-term plans in Alicante.

A special case is the connection between Alicante and Rome. The route has never been operated and is a unique business opportunity for easyJet.

Especially after the conflict between Alicante airport authorities and Ryanair, I think "it's good fishing in troubled waters". For Ryanair, Alicante has always been a gold mine. Clearly when they don't close all routes in winter.

Sorry for this off topic.

Anyone with an update about SXF winter routes ?

Having changed all of the management team and do worse than the old team I can't see how people see it as ok. Just because it happened before doesn't mean you accept it.

Racedo, nearly all airlines make a loss over the Winter. They make the profit in the Summer months. I'm sure you know that the industry is very seasonal, well this is apparant when it comes to financial results.
