Immagino che una volta aperta la base tutti i voli U2 a LIS saranno concentrari al distaccato e scomodo terminal t2. Una cosa positiva è cperò che da questo terminal partono tutti i voli nazionali e si può fare connessine per Madeira e le Azzore senza cambiare terminal. Bisogna però vedere se TAP con lo spazio lasciato da U2 al T1 non decide di concentrare tutti qui i suoi voli facendone un termninal dedicato che migliorerebbe molto le connessioni tra i nazionali e il lungo raggio.
easyJet apre base a Lisbona

EASYJET TO ESTABLISH LISBON BASE
Posted 21/10/2010
Luton based low-cost carrier easyJet has announced that it will create its latest base in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon. The new base is slated to open in winter 2011.The Hub looks at why easyJet has chosen Lisbon and evaluates markets of potential interest.
THE LISBON MARKET
easyJet's decision to base up to seven A319 aircraft in Lisbon in winter 2011, will see the carrier able to develop a number of new routes. Lisbon will become easyJet's 20th base, its first in Portugal. Already operating nearly 100 weekly flights, and according to November flightbase data, to 16 scheduled destinations. easyJet has established itself as the second largest operator in the Lisbon market, second only to the national airline of Portugal, TAP.
TAP largely dominates the Lisbon market operating 66% of scheduled weekly flights, with easyJet 8% (Flightbase 14-20 November, 2010)
easyJet operates some non-based flying from Lisbon with services to Toulouse, Barcelona and Funchal. Lisbon is still largely dominated by flag carriers as the table below demonstrates;With the exception of easyJet, there is limited low-cost presence in the Lisbon market. Vueling operates a twice-daily from Barcelona, Germanwings a six-weekly from Cologne and Blue Air, a twice-weekly from Bucharest Baneasa. With the low-cost operators having a small presence in Lisbon, easyJet's developing business model will allow it to continue to grow and create new routes as it continues to focus its model on major airports. With bases outside the UK in capital city markets such as Rome, Madrid and Berlin, Lisbon will allow easyJet to chase the higher yields on offer in Lisbon.
WHY EASYJET HAS CHOSEN LISBON AS ITS LATEST BASE
easyJet will be able to provide volume into the Lisbon market and will deliver new routes with the basing of aircraft from winter 2011. With TAP still 100% government owned, the low-cost presence in Lisbon has naturally been low as low-cost operators have struggled to obtain the type of incentives needed for significant growth. It would appear, however, that a mutually beneficial deal has been struck between ANA and easyJet.
Lisbon is an interesting choice of location for easyJet's latest base. It has the ingredients for a good base, providing two-way traffic from numerous European destinations, and is not dependent on one core market, in the way that Faro could be viewed. Lisbon can still be viewed as a seasonal market however there does not appear to be a huge variation in yield between winter and summer. Business class passengers only account for about 8-10% of the total market indicating that the Lisbon market is comfortable with the all economy cabin, so there will not be much trade down to economy class.
TAP PORTUGAL NETWORK
With easyJet adding up to seven based aircraft, TAP Portugal will have concerns over the impact that easyJet will have on its short haul network. With TAP providing a strong Latin America and African network for Star Alliance, it nevertheless, also has a strong network within Europe with 43 destinations served in Europe (Flightbase 14-20 November).
easyJet currently competes with TAP Portugal on eight destinations from Lisbon; Barcelona, Rome, Funchal, London Gatwick, Lyon, Madrid, Toulouse and Geneva. It is likely that easyJet will now provide more competition to the TAP network. Whilst markets such as Warsaw and Moscow Domodedovo will not be served by easyJet, TAP could well face competition on strong markets where it has a stranglehold in the market, as well as operating new unserved destinations.
WHERE COULD EASYJET FLY?
easyJet will continue its join the dot strategy of liking markets where it already has a presence. Lisbon will offer opportunities for Spanish connections which will help maintain revenue productivity and schedule efficiency on short sectors.
Prague would be an interesting choice for easyJet, currently only served by TAP on a four-times weekly basis, there appears to be pent up demand on the route with IATA BSP data demonstrating that over 60,000 O+D passengers flew the route between July 2009 and 2010. TAP has a 64% share of the market, coupled with CSA Czech Airlines focusing on eastern markets, Prague could be a good choice for easyJet.
Nice would be a strong candidate for easyJet service. A strong easyJet market, TAP currently operates a double daily service from Lisbon and between July 2009 and 2010, over 46,000 O+D passengers flew the route and this market would provide strong two-way traffic with a mix of leisure and business.
In terms of potential for unserved markets, Athens could be an interesting opportunity for easyJet. easyJet currently serves Athens from six markets. With an annual O+D market from Lisbon of over 40,000 passengers, travelling primarily with Iberia, (34% of market flew with Iberia), there is certainly scope for new non-stop service.

Rispolvero questo vecchio thread. In attesa della nuova base al sesto aeroporto di Londra che aprirà ad Aprile 2012, Easyjet a ottobre 2011 aprirà una base a Lisbona, forse molti l'avevano dimenticato visto che è stata annunciata a ottobre 2010 un anno prima. A LIS da ottobre saranno inizialmente basati 3 A319 al momento però non è stata ancora annunciata nessuna nuova rotta. Penso che a breve dovranno esserci gli annunci vediamo se ci saranno rotte verso l'Italia vedrei bene VCE e NAP.
Ultima modifica:
concordo su VCE, napoli non lo so. Sul ptp i prezzi VCE-LIS sono molto alti perché TAP è l'unico operatore. Penso che gran parte del traffico siano però transiti per il sudamerica.
Purtroppo tutto tace sul fronte base U2 a LIS. Per l'appunto, l'hanno annunciata ufficialmente diversi mesi fa e dovevano annunciare rotte e incrementi "nella primavera del 2011", che finisce tra 5 giorni! Mah...
Oltretutto, penso che nel p2p verso LIS oppure OPO una grandissima fetta sia leisure.. poi ci sono i trasiti per l'America Latina.. ma credo che traffico business non ce ne sia molto..
Al momento non sono previsti aerei basati, ma in overnight. Non sarà una crewed base, almeno per il momento.
Quindi hanno cambiato decisamente idea rispetto a quanto annunciato. Il comunicato stampa di Easyjet dell' ottobre 2010 parla di apertura della base a ottobre 2011 con inizialmente 3 aerei basati e 10 nuove rotte. Come mai questa marcia indietro? Si conoscono almeno quali saranno le rotte che avranno il night stop a LIS?
A Napoli avrebbero il monopolio sulla rotta (il Portogallo manca), quindi sarebbe un altro colpaccio di easyJet. Chissà... Anche se penso che, sul fronte italico, daranno la priorità a Fiumicino e Malpensa
MXP e FCO sono già collegate a LIS con Easyjet al massimo potrebbero aumentare le frequenze. Ma se quanto afferma l'utente 38000FT è vero non ci sarà nessuna base a LIS per il momento ma solo alcuni aerei che faranno night stop.
Pardon, pensavo che dovessero essere ancora aperte 
Allora Napoli e Venezia sono le prossime in lista d'attesa, magari come nuovo volo del 2012

Più che altro il Portogallo mi interessa zero. Preferisco l'adorata Spagna

A me piace tutta la penisola iberica senza distinzioni, il Portogallo è simile alla Spagna seppur diverso in molti aspetti. Lisbona e in particolare Porto sono due città incantevoli che ti suggerisco di visitare.
Non saprei, mi fido della tua disamina anche se mi ha sempre dato l'idea di essere un surrogato della Spagna. Però dai, se easyJet mi piazza il NAP-LIS, un giretto vado a farmelo più che volentieri

Vai a vederti su internet qualche foto o filmato del quartiere della Ribeira a Porto (non a caso patrimonio dell' umanità dell' Unesco) e vedi che prenoti subito...poi attraversi il Douro e a Vila Nova de Gaia vai nelle cantine a sorseggiare il famoso liquore che prende il nome dalla città...
OT (simil promotore turistico ): ragazzi sono stato da poco a lisbona, è veramente fantastica, consiglio a tutti di andarci, una delle città europee più belle e "varie" che ci siano!
): ragazzi sono stato da poco a lisbona, è veramente fantastica, consiglio a tutti di andarci, una delle città europee più belle e "varie" che ci siano!Anche io preferisco mille volte la spagna, però un giretto a lisboa e dintorni lo consiglio. Porto/Gaia invece non mi è piaciuta granchè, troppo marcia e abbandonata per i miei gusti.
Carolyn McCall, CEO di easyJet, ieri presso l'Airports Council International in Portogallo ha dichiarato che i piani della compagnia riguardo a LIS non sono cambiati, nonostante la crisi economica che il paese sta attraversando (circolavano voci che la base U2 era saltata perché gli incentivi economici erano saltati...).
Tuttavia U2 esige di operare dal terminal 2 (al momento usato solo per partenze nazionali, quindi ci vorrà un po' di tempo per adeguarlo alla nuova funzione, rimodulando il traffico tra T1 e T2).
Ha poi aggiunto che inaugureranno la base alla "fine della stagione invernale 2011/2012", dunque forse in ritardo rispetto a novembre 2011, come si sapeva finora.

[h=1]easyJet opens base in Lisbon; network grows by five to 21 destinations with TAP Portugal competing directly on 14[/h]
Two easyJet A319s are now stationed in Lisbon, the low-cost airline’s latest base. Of the five new routes, easyJet faces competition on all but one. Air France has already been scared away from one route, but struggling TAP Portugal competes on 14 of easyJet’s 21 routes.
Last week saw easyJet open its newest base and first in Portugal. Two 156-seat A319 aircraft will now be based at Lisbon, enabling the launch of five new routes (Amsterdam, Asturias, Bordeaux, Copenhagen and Venice). This will raise to 21 the number of destinations served non-stop by easyJet from Portugal’s busiest airport. A third aircraft will be added to the base in November for the winter scheduling season.
The airline serves Terminal 2, which just weeks ago was completed as a new low-cost facility, having previously served as the airport’s domestic terminal.
Source: anna.aero LCC history database
easyJet first started serving Lisbon in October 2005 from its Swiss base in Geneva and since then has been gradually adding more destinations from its bases across Europe. Although basing aircraft at the airport enables the airline to start service to non-base airports, anna.aero estimates that the number of weekly flights operated by easyJet from Lisbon initially will be only around 15% higher than last summer due to some frequencies on previously existing routes now being operated from the Lisbon end.
[h=2]easyJet had 11% of passengers at Lisbon in 2011[/h] According to figures published by the Portuguese airport operator ANA, easyJet handled just over 1.6 million passengers at Lisbon last year (an increase of 13.7% on 2010), which represents 10.9% of all passengers at the airport. This means that easyJet even before launching its base was the second-biggest airline at the airport; a position that it now strengthens. National carrier TAP Portugal still dominates with almost 58% of all passengers, and also saw passenger numbers grow by 8% in 2011.
The two airlines will compete head-to-head on 14 of easyJet’s 21 routes, while easyJet has a monopoly on six of the remaining seven routes. Notably, Air France will drop its daily operations on the Bordeaux route at the end of this month, leaving only TAP Portugal to compete with easyJet on the low-cost airline’s new route. Of the five new routes launched last week, only Asturias in northeast Spain is uncontested, having previously only been served by Iberia between 2008 and 2010, using Air Nostrum CRJ200s.

Nine of easyJet’s 21 routes will be served at least daily this summer, resulting in the average weekly frequency across all routes being a relatively high (for European LCCs) 6.8 flights per week.
Notably, easyJet has never dropped a route it has launched to Lisbon and only three routes (from Basel, Berlin and Bristol) have seen frequencies reduced since their launch.
Javier Gandara, easyJet’s GM Spain and Portugal, said: “easyJet expects to carry 225,000 additional passengers to 2m at Lisbon and 4m to and from Portugal in the first year of operation and grow its passenger numbers still further in the long run. With aircraft stationed locally, it is a key competitive asset to offer a tailored service that fits the local demand in terms of frequencies and destinations.”

Javier Gandara, easyJet’s GM Spain and Portugal, said: “easyJet expects to carry 225,000 additional passengers to 2m at Lisbon and 4m to and from Portugal in the first year of operation and grow its passenger numbers still further in the long run. With aircraft stationed locally, it is a key competitive asset to offer a tailored service that fits the local demand in terms of frequencies and destinations.”
