Bristol: EasyJet Route News & Base Updates

[MJW1992]

With zero growth elsewhere too its a bit concerning tbh

The only new winter route announced has been Warsaw and knock going year round I believe

The Jan, Feb and March pax figures were all records for those months this year so maybe actually the reduction in some frequencies is much more representative of demand.

No great surprise about Antalya for the winter. I think even in May, it was 20% down on last year so demand is definitely falling for Antalya and Turkey in general.

Maybe I’m mis-reading or misunderstanding if they are record numbers for Jan Feb March why would you want to reduce flights as that is showing that the demand is there isn’t it. Or are you saying they are record lows ?

Despite quite a lot of reduction this Jan, it was still a record Jan for pax numbers so clearly some over capacity before. Same for Feb and March although a pretty reasonable schedule kicks back in by Feb HT.

It appears the 20th based EasyJet Plane arrived today but Bristol airport are saying it’s a 320 Neo not a 321 Neo does anyone know for sure. Thought we were getting our third 321 Neo at Bristol is that wrong ?

Oh so what aircraft is it replacing as apparently we got the 20th aircraft yesterday. Trading it for a 319 or 320 CEO?

easyJet’s growth at Bristol Airport continues with new NEO aircraft and more routes

easyJet has welcomed the arrival of an additional A320 NEO aircraft at its Bristol Airport base, the airline’s 20th aircraft at the airport, supporting 400 jobs including for pilots and cabin crew.

There haven’t been any A319s based at BRS for a couple of years so it’ll be replacing an A320.

I suspect this was actually the arrival of 20+1 spare as there have been 20 based EZY deps every morning since early July.
