” Following yesterday’s bankruptcy of Sterling Airlines, easyJet will open a daily flight from Gatwick to Copenhagen, Scandinavia’s most important airport, with a view to increasing capacity at the beginning of the summer schedule. The route will launch on Thursday 15th January 2009. This new route is an addition to easyJet’s existing route to Copenhagen from London Stansted which operates three times a day. “

Were they regulars or were they only occasional?
Josh has talked to me, and I’ve taken his word for it. But I had heard EZ had kept GB operations and aircraft seperate from their own.
Apologies, it could be a 320 or 321, but is most probably 319. No airlines starts new routes with their largest aircraft anyway.
Yer regular (every day except one or two over the last month). Slightly bizarre I know but if it fits in nicely with the aircraft schedules then that’s what they will do. I believe I also once read somewhere that Athens was a very popular route.
I would be very surprised if anything other than the standard A319 operates the CPH, however.

The 320s and 321s have been used on GB routes and GB routes only.
They’ve used the 320s on Athens flights this summer and that wasn’t an ex-GB route.

Definately A319. There are only A319s based at Gatwick, and the few 737s that are based around the country (mainly LTN) are being slowly retired.
Dan, i personally wouldnt say definatly A319. A) LGW also has 320s and 321s based there. And they will be there for a while longer. B) The brand new EZY ordered 320s begin arriving in 2009. I dont think they are arriving as early as January, but there is every possibility the route could be operated by 320. I dont think that is the case though, and i agree with you, that i believe it will be 319;)

I’d guess the A319 … ?
Correct me if i’m wrong.

What planes you reckon they will be using?

I suppose this is quite a natural and expected move from them given their large presence at Gatwick. Just looking at the CAA sourced passenger numbers for that route for this year it seems there is a good demand for the route, so it should turn out to be successful for EZY.
