So LTN, STN and LGW don’t have the same catchment area? BHX and EMA don’t have the same catchement area? GLA and EDI don’t have the same catchment area?

I would hardly call their expansion of LPL as being very significant given the amount of time they’ve been there, especially considering what Ryanair has done in less than half the time.

If we want to talk about small initial operations, FR only had an Emb110 back in 1985 routing between Waterford and Gatwick. easyJet had to wetlease a GT 737 to operate their first services.

And whether any of the “doubters” want to dismiss, virtually all parts of the easy Empire when brought into the northwest have debuted at Manchester. The airline is the only went to LPL because MAN wanted to focus in on the BA grand scheme of things at the time, and LPL was crying out for business. Now there are lower charges plus having just got sniffering around with slot applications they buy an airlines that has got some slots and aircraft based, it seems a ripe opportunity for them to start up. They might not even operating the same routes out of LPL as they do out of MAN; the reason they might not come is if it becomes embarrassing if they duplicated their existing LPL routes and saw LPL’s passenger numbers plummet. As for the deal with LPL…may I just remind you that deals can be broken…specifically BA and GT and their 10 year franchise agreement ending 2 years early!

Excellent post David….you could go on…Paris Orly, Paris Cdg have both got the same catchment area! Jet2,Bmibaby etc had better be aware “The futures bright,The futures Orange!!” only time will tell!!!!……………………….

Gatwickjosh,

No i did’nt travel back on the 23rd, I went for the day on the 2/3 on Bacon from Manchester…..the route is no longer in operation which is a shame.:mad:
Easyjet could make a killing on this route going twice daily from Liverpool early am departure and late afternoon deprature, or Jet2 could from Man.
I spotted from the Cafe in T2 whilst I was there.
