I have a question for you folks.
At Paris EZ serves 2 airports: ORY and CDG.
Ory is used to serve southern Europe
CDG for Nothern europe.
Whats the strategy behind this since it’s very hard to connect both airports?
Does EZ have any plan to group all the flights at either CDG or ORY ?

No problem! 😉

That is what I suspected. It makes more sense this way.
Thanks Martin

The story behind this is that Easyjet originally wanted to use just one Paris airport, however it couldn’t get enough slots so it split the routes between the two airports. When easyJet bid for the vacant slots at Orly earlier this year they were hoping to transfer all operations over to the airport however they failed to get all the slots they wanted and Iberia and Air France got a large majority of them.
Easyjet is now cotesting this in court in order to secure full operations at Orly.

I would agree with Bhoy. Any passangers that Easy Jet would have leaving from northern Europe to southern Europe would fly direct (point-to-point no frills strategy). I imagine that ORY is for the sole purposes of French holiday seekers (or whatever) to the south.

No ,
for AF , ORY is domestic and CDG domestic+ international

I can’t imagine there’s a particular strategy behind it, but, as EZY don’t operate with transfer passengers in mind, it’s probably just easier for providing point to point flights for Parisiens.
South Europe at ORY and North Europe at CDG is pretty similar to AF, anyway?
