Only SEN Southend has seen EZY's small and cautious return there with 4 (very short season) routes - But a good sign though is that the uptake is
most positive.
If Easyjet are making plans at SOU for a few summer leisure routes for Summer 2024
(especially if BACF do pull out of SOU)
then the likes of Faro, Palma, Malaga and possibly Venice are the main 'players' as EZY Euro have bases there.
EZY have no Canaries bases so not sure if they would be looked at, unless W flights were flown into SOU.
The Canaries anyway,
are more than well covered from BOH LGW and BRS and those Islands
are more busy in the winter.
EZY Switzerland do the winter GVA flights for SOU and BOH.
They also have a large Basel base,
which used to be a very popular summer destination for Brits.
I doubt they will take on UK Domestics, although LPL GLA and MAN could be candidates -
The train or the drive from the SOU area to
LPL and MAN is a nightmare and thus a Low Cost on those routes
rather than a high cost niche local airline could work...
However their foray into BOH did not work with EDI BFS and LPL which was a short lived venture set up at a very weird and difficult time;
but BOH Domestics
have never succeeded historically.
