So therefore on that premise , according to the "man who knows a man who knows a man" who I know , Easy are at the front of the queue and are regularly in contact with the airport management regarding the expansion plan. They are potentially thinking about opening "one or two" routes from S20 while the expansion gathers pace and to check loads before committing further resource. Having a "Base" is not on the cards until circa S22.
The more interesting crumb of info is that Wizz are closely monitoring the potential Easy move into Southampton and are mooting the idea of an aircraft , maybe two , based there circa W21 onwards ( earlier than Easy ) , to route out to Warsaw , Krakow and apparently Gdansk. A destination as yet unsubstantiated in Romania is also up for consideration. They do not want to compete with Easy obviously but are hugely aware of the local market for these particular destinations and the fact that at the moment , it all goes to LTN/LGW/LHR .
