It all Manchester expansion for Easyjet ! No room for Lba adventures.

Maybe with all these extra based aircraft they are going to have at Manny, there might be scope for us to get our W-leg Geneva back at some point.

It’s the age old problem that the Manchester’s catchment area essentially covers Yorkshire so in EasyJet’s planning and strategy they do serve Yorkshire, but from an airport not in Yorkshire.

The non return of the GVA service and the massive expansion at MAN tells us all we need to know about Easyjet's plans for LBA unfortunately.

I have just flown back from OPO to MAN with Easy and what a very pleasant experience. The seats are so comfortable compared to Ryanair and the price of just £101.00 was half the price of Ryanair.
If these guys were at LBA I wouldn’t hesitate in using them over Ryanair and JET2....
I prefer the Airbus A320 (G-EZWV) to the 737-800 and find it quieter (just my opinion).....If I had to rate the experience it would be 9/10.

The new seating on Easyjet is good I've been on then to Faro a few times

Yes seems to be , we are just seeing a few new routes at Liverpool, but loosing Lisbon soon, really not sure why, it's not because they are not getting full flights or good yeids they are. Hopefully someone will replace the loss.

Oh no! I just don't think Easyjet at LBA is going to happen anytime soon, for the reasons "Jason 1-11" has already pointed out, that sadly being Manchester.

Bigman Jet2 have the LBA-GVA route already substantially covered, including extra seats picking up the Easyjet slack.

So, based on this logic, if Liverpool is also in Manchester's catchment area, why do they still fly to Liverpool?

Easyjet's Liverpool base was well established before they set up at Manchester.

Like everyone else (eg Ryanair & Jet2) it seems like Easyjet wanted a bit of the Manchester "cherry pie" (Profit) and its seems to have worked for them.
Hence they have grown the Manchester operation nearly every year since.

The Liverpool base seems to sit in the shadows keeping stagnant, so whilst loyal customers keep returning I bet its worth keeping the operation going...

Because of the demand, and it works the other way Manchester is in Liverpool's catchment area.

As mentioned Easyjet were based at Liverpool a long time before Manchester same for Ryanair . They both have started to grow at Liverpool again all be it slower than Manchester, Liverpool is back at 5M again and easyjet and Ryanair have both helped that increase.

Yes have read it, but knew about that already.

I was getting my hopes up when I saw the Leeds Easyjet thread jump to the top. I can go back to making a brew now.

 

[leedslad]

On SSC a post mentions LBA has reappeared as a drop down on the easyjet Web page... Random IT quirk or something else?

Could it be anything to do with https://worldwide.easyjet.com/

 

[Finger66]

It certainly does and the only route I can find is Guernsey. BUT it shows as "operated by a partner airline". Is this a pre-cursor to something else though I wonder? Why show partner flights if there isn't going to be something to connect to?

A new partnership with Aurigny maybe?

 

[leedslad]

Curiously appears to show Tues Thurs and Sat as possible Leeds to Guernsey dates from May but when selecting it states unavailable... Would seem to need connection via Gatwick...

 

[White Heather]

The re-appearance of Easyjet at LBA is something I will believe when I see it. But...….our new commercial director spent 10 years working for Easyjet so if anyone can, he can. There are so many route opportunities for Easyjet from LBA if only they could see beyond their North West airports and give this side of the Pennines a chance. I suspect however that even he won't be able to get them in until/unless the terminal expansion is completed and the airport can offer partner airlines and their passengers a better offering.

 

[michael]

but if you study the list just about the only 2 airports that don't show up are LHR and Durham Tees Valley - it even lists Carlisle - so personally I think they're covering all bases - literally

 

[AirBingley]

It would be great if they could be persuaded to do a couple of non based German routes while we have the status quo and often non based flights are at slightly quieter times so there may be the capacity. Thinking specifically SXF and DUS lets see! EasyJet have the benefit of a much stronger footprint than either BE or LS in Germany?

 

[LBA4EVER]

No Easy Geneva flight this year?

From an inside source ive been told that when easyjet have a base at an airport they want to be the number 1 or 2 main airline at that base, currently from LBA that is jet2 and Ryanair although with the Ryanair cuts who knows?

easyJet's German routes from its UK bases are as follows:

Berlin Schoenefeld: LGW, LTN, GLA, BRS, LPL
Munich: LGW, MAN, STN, LTN, EDI
Berlin Tegel: LGW, MAN, EDI
Hamburg: LGW, MAN, EDI
Dusseldorf: LGW
Dortmund: LTN
Friedrichshafen: LGW

BFS, NCL and SEN have no easyJet German routes.
