I'm puzzled.

Easy announced their "new hub" just a few weeks ago at Dortmund, which doesn't even start until July. Yet now there are a series of new routes being announced to Cologne instead, which is in the same Ruhr catchment area. Why would they want to build up operations split betwen two points in the same area ?

This route was announced on 27th February.

But it does seem strange to split their base CGN/DTM. (although they do operate from LTN/LGW/STN).

The road distance between Cologne and Dortmund is very similar to that of Luton and Gatwick, around 68 miles.


Millions of people then live within both catchment areas.

Fur enough, Buster!:ok:
