Any step back now would make easyJet lose market share in a big way. Wizz air are already preparing for a LGW base soon and they certainly do have the orders, capacity and resource to make it happen. The same goes for the Ryanair group, especially if the 737MAX actually gets going this autumn. Norwegian will very soon have nowhere to return after its proposed one-year restructuring, and easyJet might as well follow suit if they decide to axe all deliveries now.
