Edinburgh\u2013London saw a decline of 4.8% over three years and 0.6% in the last 12 months, suggesting competitive pressures or strategic adjustments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, <a href=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/tag\/glasgow-airport\/\">Glasgow<\/a>\u2013London reported a 1.9% drop over three years and a further 2.2% decrease in the last year, pointing to weakening demand or shifting market conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely, routes like Manchester\u2013<a href=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/tag\/paris-cdg\/\">Paris<\/a> (16.0% gain over three years, 4.4% over 12 months) and Amsterdam\u2013<a href=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/tag\/manchester\/\">Manchester<\/a> (11.6% over three years, 3.5% over 12 months) highlight strong performance, reinforcing EasyJet\u2019s strength in cross-border European travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/EasyJet_G-UZHE_Airbus_A320neo_at_CDG-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/EasyJet_G-UZHE_Airbus_A320neo_at_CDG-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/EasyJet_G-UZHE_Airbus_A320neo_at_CDG-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/EasyJet_G-UZHE_Airbus_A320neo_at_CDG-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/EasyJet_G-UZHE_Airbus_A320neo_at_CDG-1600x1063.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/EasyJet_G-UZHE_Airbus_A320neo_at_CDG-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/EasyJet_G-UZHE_Airbus_A320neo_at_CDG-2048x1360.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/EasyJet_G-UZHE_Airbus_A320neo_at_CDG-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/EasyJet_G-UZHE_Airbus_A320neo_at_CDG-750x498.jpg 750w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/EasyJet_G-UZHE_Airbus_A320neo_at_CDG-1140x757.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">By ERIC SALARD &#8211;
