It's clear there is an intent on growing and diversifying the EasyJet holidays offering with the likes of Enfidha, Funchal and Akureyri. On the contrary they add the likes of SOU-GLA and BFS on extremely limited frequency and odd timings. Who are they attempting to target with this and what kind of yield can the realistically expect? I get they could just be testing the waters but you're not going to get a realistic consumer response on such a limited schedule. Surely these aircraft can be put to better use on deepening the frequency of existing core domestic routes? The CDG-BHX on a daily frequency is a good addition but as to why they've launched 4x weekly CDG-SEN over a STN service I will never know! I expect a lot of backlash from that comment, but I think I've always given fair and realistic contribution here. SEN does well on the bucket and spade, leisure routes (it just needs quite a few more of them) and I'm sure the AMS-SEN service will attract enough of a local catchment in addition to their core London schedule. They're massively restricting their potential market on CDG though with this limited frequency SEN service. That's a route that should easily sustain at least a daily STN frequency. Also surprised GVA hasn't yet returned for winter to either SEN or STN. In Winter Easyjet have, on some days, 10 flights + per day between Luton - Geneva. You think with that appetite there would be some market from SEN or STN. |

I think all of that is fair and very reasonable.

True. I think they probably will announce it in due course.

EasyJet have absolutely no presence at STN while at SEN they are the only carrier.. makes much more sense to fly out of SEN where they have a monopoly

Just before COVID (Feb 2020) they were operating 4 flights on a Saturday between Stansted and Geneva. They cancelled two of them on the day one particular Saturday - I wasn’t very happy when I found out one of those cancelled flights was my flight home. Bewildered passengers and families at GVA airport wandering around trying to work out how they would get home - several other UK EZY flights had also been cancelled. Other UK airlines were operating normally. |
Any reason why easyJet don’t have more of a presence from north east airports. I know jet2 and Ryanair have a big presence. Is it too much competition

When is EZY next flight release date?

EJU have secured slots at DUB according to the below:
https://aviationsourcenews.com/airli...ublin-ireland/ Brave, considering RYR chased them out of ORK and SNN with extreme prejudice last time they served Ireland. RYR did the same to Wizz also. One to watch.... |
Would be great to see SEN as one of their routes

If Easyjet are going to fly to Dublin and minimise the risk of an aggressive fare war, I'm thinking an airport where Easyjet has a dominant presence in terms of LCCs, Ryanair has no presence, and airport fees are sufficiently high to make Ryanair think twice about whether they really want to open a new airport station just out of spite while signalling to other expensive airports that Ryanair will actually pay high airport fees if it really has to and destroying Ryanair's negotiating argument in future. Ideally also an airport with strong winter demand and limited spare slot capacity at peak times for new flights in winter to ensure Easyjet get a chance to establish the route without any further competition beyond what already exists. If there is a locally dominant non-LCC airline, it would be preferable if it has a high cost base and is known for charging high fares, giving Easyjet a clear run. It would also be helpful if any leisure demand originating out of Dublin was aimed at holidays rather than VFR, so encouraging sales via easyJet Holidays - again something on which Ryanair cannot compete. Even better if the city was a strong centre for business and finance, making it harder for Ryanair to pick up late booking high fare corporate travellers.
Maybe somewhere like Geneva ? Or, with a lower chance, Munich / Zurich ? |

Article states slots for only one destination from Dublin, so presumably will be from an EJU base?

Speaking of GVA any idea why they dropped their MAD flights ? Can't imagine they can't compete with Iberia ?
|
Just wondering if the fact it's down as EJU rule out Switzerland? Aren't Geneva based aircraft under their Swiss operation and would they be listed as Easyjet Europe on ACL?
|
My guess is VIE.
