Easy Jet 737-700 London Flight Arriving at Inverness Dalcross Airport. XAV 3666-354
In common with most other low-cost carriers, EasyJet has a philosophy of operating just one aircraft type. Initially it used Boeing 737 aircraft exclusively, but in October 2002 it ordered 120 Airbus A319 aircraft, plus 120 options, with CFM56-5B engines. Since then, the Boeings have been phased out, and all orders have been from the Airbus A320 family. EasyJet's Airbus A319 aircraft were first introduced to EasyJet's Geneva base in October 2003. Beginning in December 2006, the airline started to return the Boeing 737–700 aircraft to their lessors. The Belfast base was converted to an A319 operation; the conversion finished in March 2010 with a total of 6 A319 aircraft. EasyJet has returned all the Boeing 737 fleet by November 2011. Through the acquisition of GB Airways, EasyJet inherited nine Airbus A320 and six Airbus A321 aircraft. This gave the airline some time to evaluate the feasibility of operating these larger gauge aircraft. Based on this evaluation, EasyJet decided to swap 25 A319 orders for A320 in July 2008 and later remove the A321 aircraft from the fleet. In summer 2010, easyJet wet leased some 757s to keep up with demand. They were returned soon after. In February 2012, easyJet announced it was reviewing the next generation of aircraft from Airbus, Boeing and Bombardier with a decision to be made between June and October 2012.
