I think EZY basing aircraft again is very much on the cards but they have chosen a different way of getting there. That is surely where CDG and AMS come in. Add Jersey if aircraft are based at SEN and you will have the beginning of the ability to do the required 3 rotations a day (one has to be a short hop because of the restricted hours)
Cannot see it happening next year but this is not random activity by EZY. If numbers work out then base possible. If they do not then choose what existing routes you wish to keep if any.
So, not exactly high risk for the airline, but a world of pain for the airport if it does not work out. So I absolutely agree they need some based aircraft by others at SEN soon, so long as the routes operated do not kill off the interest from the airline with the ability to lay the orange egg.
