Easy Jet and its fleet - a question

CLW_aviator · Post by **CLW_aviator** » 08 Apr 2006, 16:36

Hello,

I`d like to know whether EasyJet is going to replace ALL of its 737-300s fleet with -700 version? If yes, by when would all 300s be replaced?

Thanks for your help. Regards.

Correction, the new fleet addition is a 319...
They are slowly phasing out the 733's though, when enough a319's come online. The 737-700 will stay for the foreseeable future...

Here is what I have just found in "Airliner World" for May 2006 :

"easyJet continues to fly a mix of Boeing 737-700 and Airbus A319 models. Over the coming years, many of the older Boeings will be retired from service, but the airline has not ruled out adding more Boeings in the future.
It has now 110 aircraft and will take delivery of 27 A319 during 2006."

Translation= "Hey Airbus, give us another discount!"

Nothing against Boeing though, but that would be an extremely strange move...

And one more thing... What`s the number of -300s and -700s (separately of course). Airfleets net shows only 12 300s in comarison to I don`t remember exactly how many, but a lot of -700s. But is this data up to date?

That data ius probably very reliable. When I did a google-seach I came up with the followong results :

The easyJet fleet consists of the following aircraft (at February 2006):

62 Airbus A319-100* (further 78 on order)
15 Boeing 737-300
32 Boeing 737-700

As you can see, this data was updated February 2006. So the 12 for the 733 is probably a very reliable number as some 733's will have been replaced by now.

Hope this answers your question.

Greetz,

Andries

Those numbers are already a bit old... Cause they just took delivery of their 70 th A319-100 (which will be placed in Dortmund )

So, if you say they have 70 A319s, I assume they have less than 12 300s by now? I think their old planes are to be replaced with new A319s...

As for the data presented in Airfleets... the problem is that whenever I look at them, they are still the same. At least for easyjet. They were the same last year, they are the same now... So I don`t consider them to be up to date...

As I said before, the a319's are not pure replacements. The -300's will be fased out slowely (when leases expire?), but the airbusses are used mainly for expansion...

So 12 is still a good number.....
Who are the -300s going to?
What did Ryanair do with their -300s from Buzz?
