"Why did Easyjet shut 3 UK bases? Because demand for flights has been cut in half compared to last year"
Not suggesting just at the 3 UK bases tho of course?
Perhaps more in play than one simplistic sentence.
easyJet internal politics?...Since the absorbing of GO the LTN base wary always of a STN base with large potential in close prox.
SEN too was fully stocked on day one with 3 airframes,all aircrew & a number of routes transferred wholesale from the STN base.
