easyJet entered into the congested London to Paris market on 26 February, starting a four times weekly A319 operation between London Southend (SEN) and Paris CDG (CDG).

The LCC will join London-Paris incumbents offering 184 weekly rotations ‒ Air France (which flies London Heathrow to Paris CDG 46 times weekly), British Airways (Heathrow to CDG 53 times weekly and Paris Orly 27 times weekly) and CityJet (22 times weekly to Orly). easyJet itself also operates from London Luton and London Gatwick to Paris CDG (both 18 times weekly).

However, the 314-kilometre sector from Southend to CDG will face no direct competition. The relatively unusual launch date for this new route can be explained by the fact that easyJet recently ceased operations between London Southend and Berlin Schönefeld thus freeing up aircraft time.
