1. Not Easyjet style, Easyjet Holidays still lacking direction. CEO is having a tough time without a foolish jump in this domain. CEO was pushed out by TUI so not a good track record in this area. His focus is still bringing the European operation into more stable profitability. UK part of Easyjet is run completely separately. An OE- registered plane is different from a G- plane in Easyjet Group.
2. Jet2 maybe but only small part of the pie. No long haul or non UK based operation. They did well Monarch went bust and no doubt will benefit again but this time do not have a dozen 737-8 due for delivery over next 18 months.
