Southampton-3
I heard through the grapevine (so it could be rubbish) that EZY had agreed with SOU management that if GLA was included in “the deal” that they wouldn’t go above 2 rotations per week.
Folk wanted easyJet and have got easyJet. Welcome to the pros and cons of bigger capacity aircraft but less flights.
One negative impact is the departure boards are going to look somewhat sparse.

It has everything to do with the airport and the commercial deals it does with the operators at its airport. Although an airport cannot stop an operator flying from A to B, it can exercise very considerable latitude over the terms that operator enjoys at the airport(s) - especially when, as in this case, the same company owns the airports at both ends of the route.
Can an airport charge the same airline different prices for differing routes? ie, expensive charges to prohibit operations on domestic routes and cheaper elsewhere to encourage flights to the med?
Off you pop Aurigny and Blue Islands, tatty-bye Aer Lingus Regional....
We'll really need to give it at least a full year to see how things pan out, it's too early to say. easyJet will be making a decision on the best place to deploy their fleet for 2025 and assuming SOU sees strong revenue and potential, they might see some more growth. There's maybe even a case of for a quick SOU-JER in between other rotations to bring low fares to that market as well and send Blue Islands packing? But that's short term gain (Summer good options) vs. medium term pain (Winter-no options).
The AGS group are massively underwhelming when it comes to nurturing airlines. EDI and BOH are running multiple rings around them. It almost feels like they want the airports to fail given their complete and utter lack of engagement

Are the JSY/GCI routes supported by contracts for medical appointments etc?

That's a simple one. There's a SOU sized gap in the GLA schedule and not the EDI schedule. It's a filler, not a core route for Easy.

Happens all the time. Incentivise a required route and charge standard charges on a currently served route to provide a decent blended rate that the airline can choose to spread across all routes at the base or apply the rates to the specified routes depending on what they want the individual route results to look like.
seems to me EZY incentivised to operate between AGS points, whereas EDI value Logan’s high frequency service and other network points

Just seen UK AIP amendment AIRAC 08/2024, due for publication on 27 June. The runway has either been re-surveyed, or someone has looked in detail at the survey data!
On the plus side the RWY 02 TORA/ASDA has gone up from 1745 to 1749M, RWY 20 declared distances unchanged, but the runway width reduced from 37 to 36M.

What does this mean in real terms for operators like Easy?
The airport needs some good news, to date there has been little to write home about since the runway extension.

I think the number of threshold stripes is based on the runway instrument status. 02 is non-precision and has the runway numbers between the stripes. 20 is precision instrument with the runway numbers beyond the stripes. Not sure though if pilots would notice the difference.
