Is this supposed to be for serious comment? Did I really just read Easy would cannibalise what they have at LGW and risk the split as ‘it’s all going to them anyway’ serious? Operational costs? Logistical costs? Revenue drops? Someone else picks up any vacation after the point is reached one or the otheris dropped? Vs leaving the operation 60 min down the road in major airport that handles traffic all weathers and all volumes happily generating decent returns for a short runway and a considerable issue with infrastructure.. and ‘base 6 planes there’? Where? Do they land 3 hours apart so the infrastructure doesn’t get overrun? What level of investment is that gonna take? Perhaps they can bury the motorway in a tunnel if money isn’t an issue..
Really? City breaks, smaller c series jets is best option of expansion, not a large LCC destroying its own 60 mins away market surely?
