On 31st May EZY moved back to Terminal 2 at MXP. Currently 23 aircraft are based at their largest continental base.

FNC cancellations 25/06
 

easyJet cancelled several flights into Funchal today both from mainland Portugal and UK. Reason given is wind other airlines getting in ok some diversions to Porto Santo and coming back later. Do EZY have different limits to say BA?

looks like widespread cancellations and diversions yesterday. Far from just an easyJet issue.

The impression you get though, is that Easy are far more likely to make pre-emptive cancellations when conditions are forecast to be difficult to protect the subsequent schedule. Be interesting to know if this is fact or perception,

I fail to see how you qualify this statement. Do you actually know how many aircraft actually managed to land in Funchal yesterday compared to how many diverted and/or cancelled ?
I’m reliably informed 3 aircraft landed - 1 in the early hours of the morning, 1 around 1600 and another just before midnight.

The British airways flight that you mention diverted to Porto Santo and then flew direct to Tenerife where it overnight delayed and is still there.

Just did it.
Nothing out of Dublin as far as I can see

Easyjet flights now sale up to 2 June 2024

All BHX flights still showing as W patterns, new routes must be announced soon ?

It looks like they've just rolled over the Summer 23 schedule for S24 for the sake of banging something up on sale. The BHX route schedules for based aircraft aren't there, the new SOU routes launched in winter aren't continued into the early part of S24 (assuming they will be) - it just appears to be a rush to get flights on sale, presumably to avoid Jet2 and TUI who have both been on sale for quite some time for S24 hoovering up all of the bookings to easyJet's detriment.

Yes, that’s always the case when they load the new schedule in - minus any service they know they are not operating.

Also Antalya twice a week

Speedy Boarding
 

I see easyJet have removed the inclusion of Speedy Boarding with Upfront seats and now require the purchase of a Standard Plus fare. Is this a recent change?

It is, although I can't say when they implemented it.
Their are scrapping left and right. For instance removed free name change from flight club.

When do these routes go on sale?...

Sounds like more EZY routes from other airports will be announced this week according to @SeanM1997

They are already on sale if you want to book them as part of an easyJet Holidays package.

Further new routes for the Winter on sale Thursday (although as we know that will probably mean Wednesday night...)

Winter or next summer?

Winter. New summer routes (flight only) are generally announced December/January. These new BHX routes are all 'easyJet holidays' routes at the moment.
