Leeds Bradford: EasyJet Flights, New Routes & Schedule Updates

[oldendays]

I shall be the one to ask if there is any substantial basis to all the exponential easyJet talk? Is there?

I do hope so but I've learned about cautious optimism, if not cynicism, over many years in the civil aviation industry.

The LDY thread on the DFF also suggesting their U2 S25 schedule will be released between 20Nov and end of the month, so @lbaspotter could have a reliable source, unless of course it's the same one

Can confirm my source is different, can’t say much more than I said already due to confidentiality.

 

[Finger66]

That's actually good news then because its commonality. Seems like the good news keeps on coming

AGP and PMI 2 weekly.

should be 4 weekly for PMI once loaded

PMI 4 x weekly from June, 2 weekly in May.

AGP weekly until June when it goes 2 x weekly.

Seems a precursor like what happened at BHX.

Shame no increase in CDG to year round but I would have thought AMS would have been a good daily or 2 x daily after Jet2 withdrew the route.

Great news, again using less busier times it seems. Hope these preform well for easyJet and we see more

should be 4 weekly for PMI once loaded

Can’t see anything in the website yet. Is this true? 4 weekly is great. Shame ALC hasn’t been thrown in the mix but great to see AGP / PMI introduced. PMI will have record flights next year it seems from LBA

 

[Finger66]

As U2 tend to be cheaper than LS this is just the sort of pricing competition we need.

That in itself should mean the flights will sell well. And then FR in the mix, I am really starting to like all this

I guess it's possible that the Paris route is taking advantage of an available aircraft, and that this aircraft is otherwise occupied in the busier summer months. Nevertheless, if it sells well, it increases the chances that they'll bring it back on a permanent basis at some point.

 

[Starflyer]

My route guesses were clearly completely wrong, but one route 2 x weekly and one route 4 x weekly indeed it is.

Its a relief we now have confirmation of Easyjets increased schedule and their committnent is very welcome- however the choice of destinations is uninspiring. Lets hope this doesnt just serve to dilute traffic on existing services to PMI and AGP.

 

[SierraHotel]

I think they are initially adopting the cautious approach with 2 routes that are bound to sell well (despite the LS and FR presence on these routes). As you commented , provided the program sells well, you would hope for something slightly more audacious in the future.

 

[Finger66]

I think the other thing to consider here is that there is a bit of a turf war developing between U2 and LS, so let's hope there are only winners - i.e. the consumer and no one ends up losing. I for one do though see it as a very positive development. That's a bit more colour variety for the photographers too. Hopefully not the last of the variety to be announced either.........

 

[SierraHotel]

I agree... let battle commence. I would rather see an expanding U2 presence to the possible detriment to LS than LS pushing out U2.

Given the role LS have played, and continue to play in the development of the airport I disagree with this sentiment.

I think you need to be careful what you wish for. I have watched Easyjet ops from Liverpool for many many years, and I can tell you they do not show much loyalty. Whilst they are still Liverpool's biggest carrier, they do very odd things, and chop long standing busy routes for seemingly no reason. From what I've seen LS are not like that and are more steadfast.
