Mpprh Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Press Release 20-4-2009 :[color=green]EasyJet, the UK's largest airline, has today announced that it is to begin operating three new routes from Luton Airport, enabling travellers to fly to Milan, Mahon and [b]Montpellier[/b].Fares for the new routes begin at just £26.99 one-one and go on sale from today.[/color]This must be very worrying for Beziers airport. They now only have 3 flights (Luton, Bristol, Nr Dusseldorf!) - all Ryanair.The competition on direct routes is :Montpellier - Bristol (Ryanair)Montpellier - Luton (Easyjet)Girona - Bristol (Ryanair)Girona - Nr Dusseldorf! (Ryanair)Girona - Luton (Ryanair)Perpignan - Bristol (Ryanair)Toulon - Bristol (Ryanair)Nimes - Luton (Ryanair)Beziers is under 1hr by road from Montpellier ?There are also a range of flights to other UK / Eire destinations from Avignon, Rodez, Perpignan, Nimes, Montpellier, Carcassonne, Marseille.Just worth noting that Girona is only 60km from the Spanish border, and Marseille is pretty close to those living East of Nimes (and only 1hr 30min from Montpellier).Can Languedoc supply enough passengers to keep all these airports in Business ?[url=http://the-languedoc-page.com/tourism/languedoc-tourism-air.htm]Route planner here [/url] Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpprh Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 It gets worse for Beziers airport. Ryanair is threatening to pull out of Weeze (Nr Dusseldorf) before Beziers flights have started.http://www.ryanair.com/site/IE/news.php?yr=09&month=apr&story=gen-en-220409-2 Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
