Birmingham: EasyJet Flights, New Routes & Base Updates

[Ray Finkle]

We travelled with EasyJet Holidays last Feb (2023) for a long weekend in Lisbon (wanted to support the new route). Despite the awkward flying times (Lisbon based aircraft), we both have nothing but praise for the service.
Looking forward to more destinations.

I've only used easyjet twice and both flights were domestic (BFS and EDI) but likewise enjoyed both experiences.

I think we'll definitely be using them again in the future, especially as the route network expands and gives more options 🙂

I think G-EZUT might come to the rescue 👌

A320-200 G-EZUT is certainly listed on FR24 as operating BHX-AGP (U26627) tomorrow, with an ETD of 09:15.

I'm sure that an airline the size of easyjet, will have contingency plans for events like this.

You would be surprise… The number of nightstops I had even before transferring to BHX was crazy due to aircraft issues and that was at the big bases like Manchester, funny enough G-EZUT was my first easyjet aircraft i operated on and rescued me a few times 🥴🥴

be interesting to know why EZY6621 G-EZOU diverted to Hannover for, certainly no issues at Berlin, so either medical, technical, or unruly passenger perhaps?

 

[BhxJack]

Yep looks like that way didn't squawk either

I had read it was due to smoke in the cockpit hence the rapid descent but I am sure someone better informed than me could clarify.

Thanks for the heads-up mate. There has been zero new routes announced from EZY since the initial base announcement have they? With W24/25 from RYR on offer, be good to see if/how EZY will respond.

 

[BHX492]

There was a glitch in the holiday website which showed new routes earlier … Copenhagen was on as was Innsbrucks, Inverness and Aberdeen could be nothing as they still finalising their schedule.

 

[nwoody2001]

Ahh good to know, will keep a look out... the holiday website seems to get a heads-up before the flight only page these days....

For Birmingham their main aim is the holiday arm so that will be the reason.

Around 10am last night while I was on easyjet holidays website I noticed Austria and denmark pop up for like 3 seconds bit like a glitch .Hopefully we get some good news tonight or in the morning

 

[IanFarquharson]

Copenhagen & Innsbruck are expected

Copenhagen & Innsbruck are expected

Copenhagen would be helpful for SAS for International connections and Winter travel.Innsbruck would be for the Austrian Alps.
I’m also seeing on Pprune there is a proposed Belfast city rumour via the easyjet topic
