Easyjet to Brussels summer 07???
Heard some rumours that Easyjet has plans to operate to Brussels next summer and that they filed slots. Cannot find any facts or evidence. Who did also hear those rumours?

Never heard Easyjet codesharing with any airlines... As I said before no way will they fly to LDN market too saturated!stevie wrote:nice to hear
concurention on routes between brussels and london
or maybe a codeshare between BA and EZY?

Oh and as we say in french: Je suis comme Saint Thomas: Je veux le voir pour le croire...
They are flying 12 times a day AMS/LONDON, so why not BRU?Vinnie-Winnie wrote:

MAD/BRU was supposed to be the first EZY into BRU, but FR starting MAD/CRL might change that plan.
Don't forget that the Australian shareholder of BRU is also an important EZY shareholder...
They work pretty hard indeed, but they are limited by UK CAA duty limits.AirDupont wrote:.
It's true that EZY's flight attendants are well paid but triple flights a day ain't no easy job either.
eg max 900 hrs yearly, or an average of 75/month. They work 6on/3 off and have 6 times 12 days of leave a year.

Don't forget Ryanair, which has a leaner cost structure, tried from CRL to STN and never pursued the experience...
With a further half an hour knocked off the journey in Nov 2007 can anyone tell me how Easyjet will recoup its costs?
I wouldn't be surprised to see EZY open a small base in Brussles in the future. As said before in this topic they had a gentlmen's agreement with VEX. And AFAIK EZY was already interested in the BRU market in the past.
Now that VEX has officialy vanished it's the right opportunity for the orange airline to come to BRU. I would be very happy to finally see a real low cost having some sort of base in BRU. Let's hope it happens...
As for the competition with brussels airlines... as long as it's a "friendly" competition I don't mind. Shooting in each ones leg would be sad but a sain competition is always welcome.
Anyway, finished with the dreaming now.....

Don't forget that brussels airlines would have the "lowest fare guaranteed" concept could be funny on some potential EZY destinationsIf I have to choice, I definatly choice to fly on an nice airbus 319 and not an Avro.

Heard from well informed resources that EZS filed slots for two daily flights to GVA and EZY slots for two daily flights with the routing to MAD. At GVA and MAD they filed slots with the same flightnumbers and times. So I think that EZY is rather seriuous in considering flying to BRU.
Man must be reminded that many carriers requests a bunch slots for the summer and that they will decide later to operate or not.
W'll see....
