No down month, would make sense to operate it until the end of the year and start at the start of March, maybe next year?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know Manchaster loads?
Maybe Belfast could be next UK destination from Lju?
Manchester is doing especially well in the summer:

The only "bad" month is January, I guess that explains why they removed the flights in Jan 2027.
and Nov?
DeleteThe route only started on November the 4th, so you cannot really compare that month.
DeleteThere is not even single month with LF more than 90, thats not good for LCC at all.
Delete@16.00 who and why? LF in Nov is worse than the only 'bad" month according to that guy
DeleteCould 81 % be profitable for easyJet? The ticket prices really aren't cheap (In June, July and August, you could barely find a one way ticket for less than 150 euro.) I wonder if their strategy is targeting more high yield passengers, even if that means a little lower loads.
ReplyDeleteYes, its the strategy with Easyjet with the flights over 2 hours
DeleteHow is 150 euros not cheap?!?
Delete@14:34 one way ticket for 150 eur is cheap ? + laugagge ? haha just give a break. So what 300 - 400 return ticket is cheap for intra EU flights ?
Delete@14.34 don’t give him the attention mate, he leaves comments like this every time there is a discussion about the ticket prices. He is either a troll or has a rich dad and has zero sense of money. I wonder which one is more plausible
Delete^ i have never left a comment about ticket prices on this site and I did not realise it was a one way ticket, I thought it was telling the price for a return ticket.

DeleteI flew this route back in April. The round-trip cost for two adults and a child, including hand luggage, came to around €950. I looked at other options, too; I might have saved €100–200 by making a connection at another airport, but with a five-year-old child, that didn't make sense to me. Both flights were fairly full. I hope the route stays in operation
easyJet was planning to launch a route to LJU from outside of the UK. Is there still any info about those plans? Any new routes LJU should be expecting?
ReplyDeleteCould be that they applied for the tender, 31.8 is the deadline
DeleteThat must be Berlin, the route that every armchair CEO on here mentions.
DeleteThe UK market is really booming in LJU this year. In June, British Airways and easyJet carried 27103 passengers between the two countries, 40 % up on last year. Even with all the increases and new routes, the two carries managed to achieve a LF of 89 % (Last June was 90 %)!
ReplyDeleteLet's see what the summer schedule for next year will look like with the addition of LTN
DeleteBritish is also killing it. In june, they had a LF of 95 %! That is crazy.
DeleteWe could see them go at least 12x weekly next year
DeleteSeeing all the numbers, surely this means that EasyJet can open another route or two from the UK?
