Birmingham: EasyJet Flights, New Routes & Base Updates

[58terminus]

I should have added i hope nobody comes up with that old story of yield.When you look across the apron and see
long serving airlines like Lufthansa,Air France,Aer lingus,Swiss.SAS,United etc very probably at the same time the
yield argument does not add up. BHX/Easyjet is personal

The Saturday Belfast is now back and bookable. Sun-Fri also goes 3x daily every day, where it used to be a mix of 2 and 3 daily.

As per usual some days drop to 2x daily over the peak summer holiday season.

Looks like Easyjet is going year round as flights for Sept & Oct 17 now bookable
3 pw

just to confirm Easyjet are re-starting their Geneva flights from Birmingham earlier, from the 26th Sept :-

Tue EZS1491/2 BHX-GVA-BHX 08:30-11:10 / 07:00-07:50 A320
Thu EZS1491/2 BHX-GVA-BHX 07:25-10:05 / 06:05-06:55 A320
Sat EZS1491/2 BHX-GVA-BHX 13:20-16:00 / 12:00-12:50 A320

Could this be the start of all year round operations to Geneva? 🙂

 

[nwoody2001]

When has it started in previous years?!

 

[Brum X]

Mmmmmmmmm interesting

 

[Brum X]

When has it started in previous years?!

December i think they normally start ??

 

[IanFarquharson]

Normally starts when the skiing season starts - Mid December

Of course did operate GVA year round a few years ago but a welcome return.

I just wish they would try a few new routes

Hi there ray and all, I couldn't agree anymore with you about easyjet, there's something there that they are afraid that starting up other routes will pull passengers from Luton and so on.. Andyc

 

[Ray Finkle]

Winter up until February.

Geneva returns on Sept 26th at 3x weekly, from December it then rises to 15x weekly.

Grenoble returns Dec 16th and is weekly on a Saturday.

Belfast is 17x weekly.

Great to see Geneva added from September but what are Easyjet upto ?

Surely flights to Geneva would also be popular during the whole of the summer months, after all there will be little snow in Sept/Oct ?? It is a strange one.

During the summer it would be more a lakes and mountains holiday destination. Not to mention a business route as well. From BHX it would be sustainable all year round i would've thought.

I believe that Jet2 will compete next winter on GVA but I can find no carrier from BHX in summer. Is that correct? It seems incredible if it is.

 

[Brummiegem]

It is indeed correct.
When easyJet first started flying from BHX,Geneva was year round.I think it lasted one season before going winter only.
It is a tad bizarre really.

We Brummies love our skiing but for lakes and mountains its Snowdonia.Maybe Easyjet might consider BHX-Valley?🙂

 

[Jerry]

Suprised Flybe don't do it. Would be a nice daily route with an E175.

Technically they do - a once weekly seasonal/pesudo charter I believe?

 

[rollo]

Not really BHX related but apparently on Thursday Easyjet had an overbooked flight on Thursday toToulouse from Gatwick so chose to remove a15 year old unaccompanied child obviously taken a leaf from the United book of customer relations.

Makes Ryanair look quite good.

 

[thunderchild]

Geneva now year round according to BHX Facebook page?

 

[Brum X]

Geneva now year round according to BHX Social Media page?

Yes I have also seen this, however its hard to tell what they mean as the timetable only goes upto March 2018 anyway ?

It would be great to have Geneva all year round finally. And this would also mean a little Easyjet expansion at BHX
