Jet2 will also be aware that EZY have great aspirations for easyJet Holidays which - from recent financials- is trading ahead of expectations. Should they sit on their laurels and allow that to grow without competition?
Well they could have stayed at Manchester. If you are trying to steal market share from TUI how on earth does setting up at Liverpool help ?
