Does anyone believe that EZY have failed to exploint the full potential of these routes? Or by keeping capacity below demand did they achieve full aircraft and high yield before the competition came along?
Yes i believe EZY have failed to exploit those routes and also over the last eight years of ops at SEN not increased the number of aircraft and routes to their full potential, its been only 3 or 4 aircraft based at various times. If they could have increased their SEN base by at least another two A319s/20s then maybe they would not have had Ryanair starting up a base here, but who knows?. Certainly the competition on those sun routes is good for the traveling public.
