"easyJet also announces that it will cease flying to Milan Linate from London Stansted from the end of October 2004. Despite the high-profile problems at Alitalia, services to Milan Linate continue to be highly constrained with no prospect of greater access to slots.
Slots used by easyJet to fly to Stansted, London Gatwick and Paris Orly are all within an identical time period, which prevents easyJet from building a sufficiently competitive schedule.
The lack of attractive slots at Milan leaves easyJet with no choice but to rationalise its twin services to Stansted and Gatwick. This means that the Gatwick and Paris Orly to Milan Linate services remain unchanged."
Whilst the slot issues at Linate have been given a high profile, a number of other routes have been quietly dropped or moved.
Withdrawn flights:
- London Stansted to Bologna
- London Stansted and Gatwick to Ibiza (end of season)
- London Gatwick and Bristol to Bilbao
- London Gatwick to Naples
- Bristol and Newcastle to Copenhagen (14th December)
Moved flights:
- Stansted to Venice moves to Gatwick
- Stansted to Rome (CIA) moves to Gatwick
