Leeds Bradford: EasyJet Flights, New Routes & Schedule Updates

[White Heather]

Aircraft has a problem, still sat on apron.
In fact pilot has just said "The problem" was just getting all the passengers on board.
Alls well now and has a newplan for departure 1540.

Swissport strikes again. Perhaps it's the ex DSA, LBA hating employee doing their best to cause delay so they can then criticise LBA again!

Or perhaps it took that long for the easyjet PR to read the list of new destinations on offer soon. ( wishful thinking 🙂 )

Yes, hopefully it was a boarding delay caused by the need for crew photos at the bottom of the stairs with a few LBA folk, some balloons and a big cardboard cut-out Eiffel Tower. Not to mention all the new destinations on display that they're probably not doing.

Does anyone have any info. re the loads for the GVA service?

Drunks do tend to slow down the boarding process!

Todays inbound was 2 minutes late, but the outbound is delayed again. Should have left 12:40 but still on the ground. Finally left 13:28.

 

[LBAYORKIE]

Todays Paris arrived 8 minutes late and departed 38 minutes late.

Are things that uninteresting in general at the moment that this is all we have to comment on

 

[SierraHotel]

Unfortunately so!

 

[LBAYORKIE]

I think so and I suspect Easyjet will be looking closely at performance. Im assuming Swissport could have a hand in this but could equally be other factors. Just intetested to see if a trend develops.

Interesting todays flight on A319

Yes, I made that observation yesterday. Previous posts had suggested all flights would be A320neo's.

It is interesting as it's not exactly the first easyjet service from LBA. Surely Swissport know what they're doing by now?

It could be related to slots from ATC.snd nothing to do with Swissport.

I agree WH. People jumping to conclusions as per usual.

 

[SierraHotel]

It appears that the LBA CDG service is indeed seasonal as flights finish end of Mar 25 and recommence at the end of Oct 25 (twice weekly Mon and Fri).

We knew they were ending in March but there was an expectation that if bookings were good enough the service would be extended to year-round. I suppose its good news that its back October though.

 

[Statto]

A very credible poster suggested just the other day that there could be growth to come for summer 25. If so, wouldn’t that suggest that the full s25 schedule isn’t on sale yet?

 

[SierraHotel]

Yes that is seemingly the case.

 

[Finger66]

Certainly looking at the U2 BRS thread it seems to state plenty of gaps on their S25 schedule and still expecting more to come so yes hopefully the same applies for LBA. All the rumours suggest this to be the case
