Ryanair’s 14 new routes from Leeds Bradford to Carcassonne, Faro, Ibiza, Knock, Krakow, Limoges, Malaga, Malta, Montpellier, Murcia, Nantes, Palma, Pisa and Venice Treviso will increase Ryanair’s traffic at Leeds Bradford to 1 million passengers p.a. which will create and sustain 1,000 well paid local jobs in Yorkshire.

In Leeds Bradford today, Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary said:

“Ryanair is delighted to announce Leeds Bradford as our 34th base and our 11th UK base airport. These 14 new routes from Leeds Bradford go on sale tomorrow. With a total of 17 low fare routes from Leeds Bradford next summer passengers can beat the recession by choosing Ryanair’s guaranteed lowest fares and no fuel surcharges to 17 exciting destinations all over Europe including France, Italy and Spain among others.

E così MOL ha parcheggiato altri 2 a/m per la winter in arrivo :)

Impressionante la quantità di basi FR in UK, e poi ci lamentiamo in Italia :D
 
Un bel colpo per Jet2 che si vede la concorrenza su quasi tutte le rotte....

No, veramente le farà concorrenza solo su 9 rotte :

Alicante (già attiva)
Malaga
Palma
Ibiza
Faro
Murcia
Cracovia
Pisa
Venezia (vs. Treviso)
+ marginalmente, Barcellona (vs. Girona) in quanto servono aree diverse

Quella che vedo più in pericolo è Cracovia per Jet2. Oltre che Venezia e Pisa. Le altre rotte hanno una fortissima base di traffico consolidata e possono anche sostenere più vettori.

Jet2 comunque sta focalizzando sempre più il suo business verso rotte charter-like da combinare con i pacchetti del suo tour operator Jet2Holidays e quello di altri partners come Olympic Holidays o Holiday Options.
 
Beh su 9 che comunque muovono una buona fetta di mercato Jet2 su LBA...

In ogni caso non vedo poi male la sopravvivenza di entrambi su molte di quelle, considerando che per esempio su PMI e IBZ LS già convive con Thomson senza problemi...

Sicuramente, Jet2 vedrà calare gli yields su diverse rotte-chiave verso la penisola iberica...ma di certo non verrà sbattuta fuori di mercato.

PMI e IBZ da Leeds verranno servite ora da quattro operatori :

- Ryanair
- Jet2
- Thomson
- Thomas Cook

Jet2 ha inoltre annunciato 2 nuove destinazioni da LBA per la prossima estate : Bergerac (vs. Flybe) e Corfù (vs. Thomas Cook).
