easyJet: three new destinations

[Tomek747]

As part of the easyJet expansion in 2004, Europe's leading low-cost airline, today announced seven new routes, of which three are completely new destinations, bringing low-cost airline services within reach of millions more Europeans.

 

The routes are:

 

London Stansted to Basel and Ljubljana International

London Luton to Budapest International

London Gatwick to Naples, Ibiza, Faro and Prague

Ten new countries join the EU on May 1st and easyJet is embracing the enlargement by welcoming Hungary and Slovenia to the EU from the very first day with flights to London.

 

These new routes, which will bring the easyJet network to 135 routes, will allow millions of travellers to visit the new EU member states from this summer with our famously low fares, starting from £30.98 return (including all taxes).

 

easyJet is also expanding further in Switzerland with a new service to London, from Basel's Euro Airport, which serves Basel, popular with business travellers and skiers alike; Mulhouse in Eastern France, and Freiburg in South West Germany, providing access to the Black Forest and the Rhine Valley. The airline already ranks as the biggest airline at Geneva Airport and recently announced that it was withdrawing its service from London Gatwick to Zurich Airport due an excessive increase in landing charges in Zurich.

 

Slovenia is considered as one of the most up and coming ski, and summer holiday destinations, while its capital, Ljubljana, is famous for its Baroque Old Town and, according to legend, was founded by Greek prince Jason, together with his companions, the Argonauts, best known for the story of the Golden Fleece and slaying the Ljubljana dragon.

 

With its rich cultural heritage, Budapest, Hungary's capital is known as the 'Paris of Eastern Europe'. The city straddles a gentle curve in the Danube. It has broad avenues, leafy parks and elaborate bathhouses.

 

In addition, to reflect our commitment to Gatwick, easyJet is increasing its number of destinations to 20. The new daily services to Naples, Faro, Prague, and Ibiza commence on 23 April 2004, (Ibiza on 3 June). Seats will go on sale on Saturday 14 February, with fares from £40.98 (return including taxes).

 

easyJet is taking delivery of 20 brand new aircraft (5 Boeing 737-700's s and 15 Airbus A319's) this summer, increasing the fleet to 90 aircraft, and expects to announce more exciting developments to its expansion plans shortly.

Vielleicht nimmt jetzt im Gegenzug FR eine innerdeutsche Strecke nach SXF auf. Wie wärs mit FKB, HHN oder FDH?

[LoCo]

Wenn FR in den innerdeutschen Markt mal einsteigen sollte, dann gleich mit mehreren täglichen Flügen. Das man mehrere tägliche Flüge ab FKB anbietet, wäre nur denkbar, wenn FKB eine FR Base wird (z.Z. noch nicht realistisch). Bliebe wenn nur HHN - glaube aber nicht, dass die Easyjet Expansion FR dazu bringt schneller eine innerdeutsche Route aufzunehmen.

Nicht zu vergessen die neue Easyjet-Route SXF - BUD 1x täglich ab 17.6.

HHN-SXF gibts doch schon von VolareWeb.

[Koelli]

Bravo! Endlich kapieren auch mal die Lowcost-Carrier, dass man in Gebieten des ehemaligen Jugoslawiens wunderbar Urlaub machen kann. Und dass zu günstigen Preisen und viel Herzlichkeit.

Nur Mister MOL nicht *lol*

Will EZY eine Mischflotte oder wollen die die 73G nach und nach ausmustern wenn mehr und mehr 319 kommen?

[AvroRJX]

U2 schmeißt sich auf die ersten attraktiven Ziele in neu-EU-Land, wobei vielleicht noch ne Base in WAW herausspringt??? O.k., das war ein Scherz.

 

U2 versucht offensichtlich die Schwäche in der PR von FR zu nutzen. Bei FR sprict man nur von der Gewinnwarnung, bei 2U von Streckenexpansion und neuen Basen. Das beeinflußt die Finenzmärkte. Das tut der U2-Seele wohl.

Mischflotte. SXF soll m.W. A319 bekommen, aber ex UK wird SXF mit B737 angeflogen werden.
