Should be late May/early June but off course subject to change
The flights are actually doing amazing,better than Easyjet was expecting…Howz it going BHX492 ? Are the planes pretty busy, I know it's early days ;-)
It’s down to maintenance, it should settle down in summer.Sorry to bombard you with questions @BHX492, do you know why the based aircraft swap often? We started with G-UZHJ, then G-EZOK and then swapped to G-EZOP all since the first based aircraft started, a spotters dream, I really like it, wondering if it's just BHX and the easyJet fleet finding its new rhythm or if this is a regular thing.
Glad to see the flights have started well, long may it continue
I would say both because we had passengers that normally fly from BRS,LTN and MAN but also Tui are selling package holidays with Easyjet flightsBut that in itself begs an obvious question. Are they pulling in passengers from rival airlines, or are they pulling in passengers from other Easyjet bases....?
Thank you for your insight, its greatly valuedIt’s down to maintenance, it should settle down in summer.

I believe that it was stated some time back that the operation could grow from a 3 aircraft to 5 aircraft base. I'm not sure what the timescale was, but if the services are doing as well as Ian says this early in the season, then I would think that easyjet would be looking at expansion.That's excellent news to hear, let's hope that it gets better and busier than ever. Then easyJet will hopefully add even more routes, the busier it gets.
Is there any info on the based aircraft flights for the winter schedule ?EZY9003 due 1115 Saturday from LTN to be 2nd based unit
EZY9002 due at 1215 Saturday from LGW to be 3rd based unit
All departing flight have been more or less full since 1st based unit arrived, mostly over 175
Existing routes on sale, new routes to be announced end MayIs there any info on the based aircraft flights for the winter schedule ?
Whilst I hope that the easyjet base at BHX is very successful and grows significantly in the future, I cannot see them doing long haul operations. They do not do long haul from any other base and do not have the aircraft to do it. It simply does not fit their business model.Let's hope that easyJet continuously keeps pulling out more than a rabbit after Easter, attract more and more passengers from Birmingham airport. I think in the next couple of years, once they have established themselves, easyJet will need to start planning for further afield IE long haul options and then test the demand and market
