SOU are also having a terminal extension ready for next summer so imagine they will also be hoping for an easyJet base!

Trees now felled south of the airport and revised obstacle charts to be updated by March, should bring improved take off weights!

Suggest you think about the lives of all those poor people affected before you worry about LBA

It certainly will have an effect on easyjet operations with an initial start up of 6 aircraft that could rise rapidly to 12-15 etc over a short period (slot restrictions allowing)

This mornings announcement most certainly makes SOU the likely destination for the next easyJet base. With Jet2 eroding orange market share at LGW, they will want to substitute this somewhat elsewhere in the south and at the same time direct Jet2 business away from BOH. Common sense really!

Majorca has probably reached saturation point, still incredibly popular but fully exhausted, same being said for Turkey. Greece and North Africa are in demand destinations! Also posted on X by SeanM that Jet2 are to embark on a network review, what does that mean?

Rumours are SOU are pushing hard for an easyJet base for 2027, be interesting to see how it plays out!

Just like Southend you mean?

I would say SOU for next Orange base

TUI release their S27 timetable on 16th October, will there be any more route development from SOU and are easyJet likely to future base from the south coast airport?

O Leary playing games as usual. Wizz may be vulnerable but easyJet are growing considerably in market share with their holidays division!

Toss up between LBA and SOU for next Orange base opening?

AGS are spending a huge sum of money on SOU over the next few months to improve amongst other things the departure lounge. This will be extended, possibly over stand 6, although other options are still on the table. One would imagine that the new Starbucks will operate from the extended...

Was only 4 weekly weekend flights after all. Heard TUI are interested in coming and have visited the airport recently!

ALC/AGP/PMI/FAO/NCE/BOD for EZY S24?
