If they had already decided to operate summer routes from Southampton why would they delay the announcement so costing them sales?

To be clear, post #2018 on easyjet releasing new routes in the next few weeks and after their scheduled release this morning was factual in that this has always been the case and the very same each year, I did not suggest this was related to SOU in any way. Let’s wait and see what is announced, if anything, for the airport and if I am wrong and nothing materialises, I am big and ugly enough to admit my mistake. Until then!

BTW, In my honest opinion your credibility rating on this thread was rather high at one point, what happened for it to deteriorate so quickly 🤔 |

However the first real test will be next summer when easyjet will be running a much larger program from the airport and could have multiple arrivals at once!

However we can expect something fairly soon and will no doubt draw away a certain percentage of BOH regulars, interesting times!

Well that was a sudden back track (no pun intended) I draw attention to two of your previous posts of you suggesting EasyJet are VERY much related to SOU in S24......🤔🤷♂️

The problem is and will always be is that due to SOU opening times there will never be a LCC base at the airport. Then down the road at BOH these restrictions dont exist,hence there ever increasing destinations and PAX numbers. Im not sure how this will effect SOU short term,but they will not be able to get back to profit without LCC operations.

All I will say is that because EZY have already added some additional winter flying to the airport, this potentially bodes well for them also trying some summer schedules now the runway is complete!
Those looking for their summer flights are looking elsewhere to fly from. EasyJet will have the data for them to target a local audience. If they felt there was a captive audience surely a company like EasyJet would have announced something by now. It would have been a major announcement by the airline if they decided on expanding their ops at Southampton. The fact that they haven't yet done so regardless of the fact that the runway extension is now completed leads me to believe that they won't. As I have mentioned on numerous occasions, until EasyJet make an official statement it's all hearsay and unfounded rumours. The topic is brought up by the same individuals over and over again. It's tedious and boring and dare I say it getting rather childish. I know this topic more or less keeps this thread alive but enough is enough. Perhaps it's a good idea to put the topic to sleep for now and wait for EasyJet to wake us all up as and when they feel like making any official announcement. |
I've no idea if Easy will or won't but there is still plenty of time for them to announce something. When they relaunched Southend to Malaga and Palma for summer '22 they only announced it the previous December. When Jet2 launched their Bristol base they only announced it the previous November.

What's the relevance of operating hours to when airlines announce new routes?

Or it might be the case that with EasyJet discontinuing those "additional winter flying to the airport" for summer 2024 it might not bode well for them also trying summer schedules regardless of the fact that the runway extension is now complete 🤔

Just an observation but your postings could also be construed as tedious and boring, you clearly have nothing positive to say about the airport even though your username suggests otherwise
But The continous post's regarding unfounded rumours from those that assume they know better is in fact getting extremely tedious and boring. Just an observation, construed 🤔 I'm just stating the actual facts, as obvious as they are. |
There are those without any inside information that can make a good educated guess as to what is going to happen. Due to their certainty they then start a rumour as there is a good chance they will be correct. This is done to increase their own standing as someone in the know.
A clue to what they know can be deduced, as to whether they are indeed insiders, by looking at their track record. For instance did they predict EasyJet’s new winter only domestic program to Southampton weeks in advance of its announcement? |

Simply For LCC to operate from Southampton they need the flexability of landing after 23-00 when delays occur,its costly to divert to other airports.

And both SEN and BOH have operating hours restrictions. |

But the comment you quoted related to a discussion about launch dates. You comment might be relevant if the discussion had been about opening a base, which it wasn't. :ok:
