In very similar weather conditions.

Perhaps we can rename them Breezyjet!

Its the woman srabding in front of the terminal holding a cardboard sign. Various destinations pop appear in the left of the screen. Its less of a video and more of an animation sequence really. Its recent- only 17 hours old.

If you look at the comments the airport have just this minute apologised and clarified Easyjet are not operating the route.

Good news again, easyJet has now put its September to October 2024 flights on sale.

After the summer school holidays the Leeds-Bradford - Belfast Int'l route is set to increase from 4x back to 6x weekly operating Mon-Tue & Thu-Sun.

I'll post the updated schedule later.

I'd like to think Belfast double daily by easyJet is doable, subject to aircraft availability.

easyJet.com Belfast Int’l – Leeds/Bradford route summer 2024 schedule update


Summer 2024

Leeds/Bradford – Belfast Int’l route is now showing operating between 4x & 6x weekly for summer 2024 (March 1st to October 26th).

Compared to last summer 2023 there are new additional Thursday & Saturday departure's operating during May & June and again in September & October whilst the Monday service continues throughout the summer without its break over the school holidays which is quiet a big jump in capacity/seats wise.

Flights scheduled to be operated by a mix of Airbus A319 & A320 aircraft. I wouldn’t be surprised if we also see some of them Airbus A320NEO’s making appearances..

easyJet operating x2 flights to BFS today? according to FR24 & LBA arrivals, had one this morning and one due later tonight?

 

[Finger66]

Probably a bit of extra half term capacity. Good news all the same

 

[752]

seems to have gone under the radar if that's the case. But yes absolutely. Do hope this route grows

 

[AirBingley]

I imagine its doing rather well at the expense of Belfast City as the smaller Airbuses generally quietly get on with the job and there is much less drama than with the EI propellor service!

 

[752]

EZY have started more BHD route, would be good to see them operate x2 daily there, however wouldn't want it at the expense of EI who are increasing for S24 also.

 

[Finger66]

They would make a killing on LBA-BHD with jets tbh. Suspect it won't happen though. Just wish Emerald would consider something like Embraers. Not saying it would solve all diversion issues but I am sure it would help as well as improving the passenger experience

I suspect the diversion rate for easyjet would be significantly better.

 

[AirBingley]

Hopefully confidence on this route with a bigger LBA terminal we may seem them dip into routes like AMS / BER possibly even BRS to access the South West! If LBA want volume to support the investment the easyJet has got to the the one they are schmoozing......

 

[Finger66]

@AirBingley U2 think the same as me haha!

 

[Finger66]

Just catching up on the dried fruit forum, in particular the BHD thread and whilst posters on the dff can be renowned for taking the first opportunity, to put it politely, be negative - Emerald Ops are coming in for a right slating. So just wonder if this is an opportunity for U2 to steal a march on them. As ever time will tell on where this all ends up. We would then have FR gunning for Wizz and U2 for Emerald. It's a funny old industry.......

Well let's face it, recently Emerald haven't covered themselves in glory on the LBA route have they? Numerous lengthy delays, and cancellations before we even consider how often they divert, although to be fair that's as much down to the rubbish weather and aircraft type as anything Emerald do. But they show all the signs of an airline that's stretched themselves beyond their limits.

Re: Emerald. Between 4th Nov - 12th Feb, I estimate ~21 inbounds diverted and ~14 inbounds were cancelled. Worst performing services were the 2 early arrivals, namely : EI3390 and the EI3670.
