easyJet Flight Codes

Hi Guys,

Just out of curiosity, why do some EZY flights operate with the ‘EZY’ flight no., and others with the ‘U2’ flight no., surely it’s more complex to use two codes?

To be honest I’ve never come across this with Easyjet before, but maybe it was a problem with the airport flight information system showing the wrong code? I know that some charter carriers use the ICAO/IATA codes to differentiate between scheduled and charter services, but obviously not applicable for EZY.

Yes, I know that… 😉

But they’re using the ICAO as the IATA in these circumstances.

I’m not sure why they use both codes, but I know that the EZY code is the ICAO code, whereas U2 code is the one that IATA use for them.
