Leeds Bradford: EasyJet Flights, New Routes & Schedule Updates

[BCFC]

I’m sat in the 1432 lounge and I can see an Easy aircraft just sat there in the top corner around stand 19 I think, what's the problem?

Sunwing 738?

When is an easyJet not an easyJet?
When it's Sunwing 737 800 that now belongs to Jet2.
Enjoy your holiday.

Yes sure it will be the ex Sunwing 738 that now carries it's new Jet2 reg of G-JZBZ. When I saw it a week ago it still had its orange Sunwing tailfin so could easily seem like a U2 logo

Sunwing 738?

Who knows…my eyesight is awful but it has an Orange tail

When i flew out of LBA last thur i had to look twice as you can see the orange on the tail but its difficult to see the white sunwing lettering on the orange.

EZY have added a x2 weekly NCL AMS, now this is one route and airline I think would do great from LBA

I maybe wrong so please don't quote me on this.. But I suspect something might possibly happen next summer 2025 once that new terminal extension is opened..

Sworn to secrecy as usual @lbaspotter as appreciate commercial confidentiality and all that

No that's not correct because myself, @White Heather & @Aviador have publicly said on here in the recent past that easyJet were in the airport's long term plans.
It is also known that easyJet won't base aircraft here currently because terminal facilities are not up to there standered.

So read into that what you will...

New stands would surely need to be built to accommodate any EZY base.

And new stands are in the airports plans as part of the redevelopment.

we don't need new stands to accommodate W AMS flights. Like BFS.

Depends on what time of day it is. Last few weeks there’s been a shortage of stands so more stands are needed.

 

[Finger66]

And wait until we get to Saturday afternoons in summer. Wasn't great at times last year so don't expect 2024 to be any better so stands definitely needed

Think as has been said U2 need a whole improvement in facilities before anything really happens with them

 

[752]

If that's the case and stand capacity at times are already full during peak hours then surely its a justified case to get more stands added asap..

I'm sure I've read either on here or elsewhere the first 2+ additional stands (10+ in total) are to be built next winter ready for use summer 2025.

Now put a nice new shiny Terminal extension & 2 additional stands (which will only be built if needed) together what do you get?

 

[Finger66]

U2 are thinking along the same lines as the rest of us - twice!!!

 

[SierraHotel]

Go EZY on us with your jokes.

 

[Finger66]

Well I STAND by them!
