After my package holiday with Tui to Cyprus was cancelled for next week i looked at booking the hotel direct and getting flights with low cost carrier like EZY however they have cancelled nearly all the flights which is to me is a poor decision as there is a lot of British people whom have second homes in Cyprus who want to go out to their houses for a couple of weeks from the 05/07 onwards.

Most of these people would be going for at least 14 days so would then be past the next Traffic light review date and there is also a number of people who are still looking to me their own arrangements to travel to sunshine destinations

Cyprus is a long way off from the infection levels in the UK's green list destinations like Iceland or Malta. Furthermore, infection levels in Cyprus have increased significantly in the last 7 days. It's possible Cyprus makes the green list in 2 weeks time... but it doesn't look very likely

As a passenger, Easyjet cancelling a lot of UK-Cyprus flights is annoying. Easyjet might have a different view on whether it should operate lots of flights between the UK and amber list destinations, and how profitable these flights might be

I flew from Faro to Liverpool with easyJet last Sunday. There were 27 passengers on board.

I flew outbound with Ryanair from Liverpool to Oporto. There were 28 passengers on board that flight.

I follow Birmingham Airport on facebook and they said the other day that the first BHX Jersey and BHX Newquay flights took off - which is great

Got me thinking which bases would be crewing these flights? as BHX isnt (yet...) an easyJet base

Also - great to see easyJet back at EMA - I flew EMA / EDI a couple of times well before they closed the EMA base, Could we see an GLA / EMA route aswell as an EDI / EMA route in the future? ......

Doubt they'd want to dilute business on GLA / EDI to BHX at present, I could perhaps see FlyBe2 taking an interest in EMA-Scotland routes.

Newquay seems to be a Gatwick based crew operating Gatwick > Newquay > Birmingham > Newquay > Gatwick and the Jersey flight seems to be a Manchester crew doing similar.

any feel for how the shorter EZY domestics are doing eg ABZ-MAN, EDI/GLA-BHX ?

BHX- BFS has always done well and now GLA & EDI are really picking up, so I am told !

Mixed bag is what I’m hearing. BFS-EMA and LBA reported to be doing well. BOH to EDI and BFS are pretty decent. All three JER routes and BHX, LGW and INV routes to NQY are a disaster zone, and LPL-BOH isn’t great but not quite as bad as some. Haven’t heard anything about loads on the ABZ routes.

MAN-NQY/ABZ seem to be doing fairly okay.

MAN-ABZ loads about 70%+
MAN-NQY Loads slightly more by the looks of things

Most if not all of these domestics will likely disappear for next summer anyway!

I thought that route didn't start until today?

It was a very respectable outbound figure MAN- ABZ considering how long it’s been on sale. It was indeed around 70%.

I’ve asked the question of someone in the know, and yesterday’s MAN-ABZ flew with a 46% load factor on the roundtrip. Don’t know what was booked and no-show numbers but that’s what was carried.

Not as good as some of the new routes but by no means as bad as some of the others.

It was reasonably busy out, quiet on the return. 45% round trip to be exact. Pretty good going given how long it’s been on sale.

Manchester Newquay already loaded for next summer. Additional Saturday rotation now operate until end October.

That speaks volumes as to how EasyJet views the likely leisure travel situation for 2022.

Not necessarily. MAN NQY has always proven to be a strong market.
