One problem could be that easyJet probably doesn’t feel the need to fork out that sort of cash at the moment as the feel they don’t have to. They are making profits every year, have done since company was founded, and will be one of the winners going through this ongoing consolidation. They are even likely to come out the other side even stronger as they get greater market shares on some routes as competition either scales down or fails and this allows ezy to push pricing and increase margins.
