easyJet - GLA to BHX - About time !!!!!!!!!!!

Could we see an EDI to BHX route in the future too if GLA to BHX proves popular?...

If GLA BHX works favourably for easyJet with an airbus on this route, EDI would be an obvious addition.

It will challenging competing with high frequency props with very low fuel burn... though I'm confident easyJet will make this work...

What kind of frequencies can EZ offer with the need to fill 156 seats as opposed to the BE 78 seat requirement? We all know that Ryanair, for example, "serve" hundreds of destinations, many of them once a week.

13 flights per week so probably 2 a day and 1 on Sat.

To answer another question: why would EZY start GLA BHX? I fancy they looked at Flybe's 7 flights daily and thought we want a piece of that. 🤣 And also did some actual research too!

Would be lovely to get Loganair back on GLA and EDI to BHD. Like the good old days!

Another substantial delay this morning on Flybe (Blue Island) to Guernsey. Almost quicker by boat. Frustrating. As a side, don't think much of SOU either!

I certainly wouldn't rule this out. While Loganair is careful in where it picks its battles, it has had some pride in returning to markets it once patronised, like LDY and CFN, granted they don't have competitors on those routes per se.

Loganair is a strong brand in Scotland, and we have yet to see where Flybe takes its business. The rhetoric has been connectivity with Virgin and friends. Where would a route like BHD GLA sit? Though that should be a good run given the distance , being well established. And let's not forget Loganair did sit it out on the competition with Flybe Eastern.. we shall see.

I can see the 'new Flybe' /Connect Airways being a feeder to Virgin, supporting AF and KL at bigger UK airports AND like Stobart have done getting deeply into ACMI. Stobart have been successful with this through Aer Lingus in particular, and the work with KLM and BA, and the purchase of Embraers is a big statement of intent.

I believe LM are sniffing around the Scottish/NI market. Maybe people are getting a bit jaded with BE

Its probably going to be the exact same thing what happened when they decided to start ABZ-NWI in their own right after being wet leased by Eastern to run the same route.

I'd be amazed if this happens and I think it's highly unlikely. The economics of a 145 on a short, low-yield sector must be poor to begin with, never mind in a fare war. It simply won't be worth going into battle and driving down fares as the route would never be sufficiently profitable afterwards to recover the losses made.

I've just tried to book GCI-LHR for January but the website shows flights only avail until October 2019, I also tried the Virgin site & again nothing available.

Try expedia. It seemed to have them earlier today.

Thank you, there's obviously a glitch on their website. :)
