Easyjet officially gone from Ireland

Evening all,

From Sep 30th there will be no easyjet flights into Cork, Shannon, Knock. I guess the usual Ryanair tactic has worked, although thier loads from Cork are at least 90% all the time. Yield must be crap!! I guess the announcement of a third early morning Ryanair departure to LGW instead of the 0645 Dublin didnt help either.

Regards,

Paul

Not good news. I've had the pleasure of flying with Easyjet twice on a return hop to LGW from NOC. If I do that trip again I'd say I'd pay the extra cash and fly with BAW from DUB.

i know ryanair had a lot to do with it,if O'Leary sees them pulling out of ireland he's going to chase them everywhere.

One can't help but admire the man's tactics.

Just read today that Ryanair are now stopping their NOC-LGW route. Now that doesn't make sense, get rid of the competition and then pull off yourself

Yep loads to admire there... Pull a route that would work daily with 1 carrier... Reminds me of MyTravel Lite pulling BHX-NOC and BMIBaby come in with twice daily on some days. Sometimes I think it defies logic to scrap what works to go for something that wont.
