I'm just wondering what's the reason of displaying the following information during the booking process:Well, the Summer 2018 has already passed, so either

1. The flights are operated by EZY but the website hasn't been updated
2. The flights are still operated by "partner airline" (and indeed the website is outdated here as well)

Which option is right?

There are no more wet lease aircraft in Berlin Tegel.

Speculation elsewhere easyjet might be about to announce DUB-LGW starting in April.

Very interesting development if anything comes of it.

Bearing in mind capacity on route then this seems to be sticking a finger in someone's eye............... if true.

No doubt there will be a very quick response with a U2 route receiving similar treatment or two.

They have taken it from FR for a long time and no response. FR will struggle to get extra slots at LGW and EIs are not great so could be a good option for easyjet.

With EI now operating to LCY (under CMA investigation) DUB-London isn't exactly the most competitive market and Flybe will likely exit SEN-DUB when FR start.

They withdrew blooded and beaten last time.
Ryanair just flooded LGW with capacity on NOC, SNN +1 other (?) just to make life impossible for EZY. I wonder if they've an agreement not to repeat such a bloody undertaking? Of course as soon as EZY gave up, FR just dropped half the new LGW routes!
FR offer STN, LTN, LGW though, but you're right, IAG really seem to have too much sewn up.

The other was Cork which actually ended up being served 3x daily with EZY, they served NOC/SNN daily. FR jumped on the routes ORK-2x Daily and daily both to NOC/SNN, they dumped their fares and undercut EZY to undermine and thwart competition. Both lost money, EZY decided it wasn't worth it.

FR then dropped NOC (leaving it with out an LGW service unti XL jumped on it followed by EI when XL tanked), ORK dropped to 1x daily (Peak of 5 in total!) and SNN remained the same.

I can't imagine the same would happen now. Both airlines are far bigger now, and overlap on a multitude of routes across Europe. Ryanair made a feeble attempt to compete on BFS-LGW before retreating to fortress STN.

There's definitely room for both on LGW-DUB. Would be a welcome addition.

Room maybe but people will want to defend home patch so reckon a price war would ensue.

Could be a full scale price war will happen next year anyway across Europe as believe Brexit will stifle bookings in Q1 from UK.

That was my thinking when Jet2 went into Stansted, I was expecting Ryanair to go full on aggresively protecting market share but nothing close to that happened.

On the Aberdeen page, xraydice has a booking for March and has contacted Easyjet and asked the question but has been told that their flights to LGW are valid.

I'd heard from someone recently that EZY were indeed looking at LGW-Dublin again - apparently a twice daily operation and somehow funded with competition remedy slots at LGW and DUB. Not sure of the background to it all, but there sounds to be some substance to the rumours.

Looking at the calendar it is clear to me anyway that this route is finishing on 8th February.

Difficulty with that one in Stn was you may attract attention of CMA as hold such a high % of routes. Additionally (if memory serves me correctly) that they went in when FR was down on planes awaiting new arrivals so hadn't the opportunity to respond.

From what I recall (and I may not have remembered correctly) the remedy slots which IAG would have to provide were for five slot pairs to be used on flights between London and Belfast and London and Dublin. At least one had to be to Belfast and at least two had to be to Dublin.

I would imagine that the slots from Belfast to London are the main attraction for Easyjet as it is between two strong bases, but to access the extra slots they will have to run twice daily to Dublin. It may be that as Easyjet would would only be running the minimum to Dublin that neither Ryanair or Easyjet would want to get into a price war and might tolerate each other.

I'm surprised BA haven't tried running some flights themselves on Belfast Gatwick to make it less attractive to any other airline that fancies a go with remedy slots.

How attractive the remedy slots really are though may be questionable, as Ryanair tried them, and presumably couldn't make them work as they handed them back. Virgin didn't make a success of the Heathrow Scotland remedy slots either.

Ryanair have the two DUB-LGW remedy slots.

Still strange timing that LGW-ABZ ending as this rumour comes around. Hopefully if they do plan DUB they don't waste time dragging the announcement out. Slots are ideal but I think they will have to go minimum of 3 daily to make an impact.

Guess they could use the Belfast slots on actual Belfast and free up non remedy slots on the route either.

Just you let you know , I spoke again to customer services who have now conceded that the route ends 8/2/19 , lack of internal communication or porkies ?
I can change my booking ( for free ) once I get the official notification, then I suppose it'll be a free for all !

With LGW-DUS announced, wonder if that's where confusion came with DUB. DUS replaces ABZ

No confusion. They applied at both DUB and LGW for slots to operate LGW-DUB in Summer 2019.

Its in Spanish - but there are going to be quite a few France-Spain routes introduced next summer. Plus the addition of London to Jerez.

I presume they will all be released Wednesday/Thursday...?

When I last checked, Easyjet hadn't released their traffic figures for November, which should have been released last week. Anyone know why?

New routes
 

Nantes - Bilbao, Copenhagen, Granada, Marrakech, Rome FCO, Tenerife South, Bastia and Dubrovnik
Bordeaux - Granada, Lanzarote, Menorca, (Basel?)
Stansted - Paris CDG
Gatwick - Jerez, Zadar
Manchester - Barcelona (continuing next summer.)
Seville - Berlin SXF
Lyon - Tenerife, Seville (Agadir?)
Geneva - Pula
Amsterdam - Pula

There used to be a means on the easyJet website to get fares to all destinations from an airport for dates of your choice. E.g. I tell it I want to go away from Jan 1 to Jan 8 starting from Gatwick, and it shows me the fares to every destination. It was always hard to find, but now I think it's disappeared altogether. That's quite a loss if it has.

Thanks. I found it via the Site Map where it is called "Inspire Me".

The European Commission has announced some measures designed to limit disruption in the air transport if Brexit goes ahead in March without a deal. The measures would temporarily allow British airlines to operate flights into and out of the EU - but not within it. Fortunately EZY has already established a new airline, easyJet Europe and obtained an AOC in Austria. At least in in theory this will allow them to continue flying within European countries even in case of hard Brexit. Nevertheless, the ownership of EZY Europe is and will stay British. Could this fact create any obstacle, what is your knowledge about it?

There is ongoing debate about this within the News section on the forum so I would throw the same question up their.

Anyone know if EZY are releasing any further new routes for S19? announcements are usually before now in Dec!
