EasyJet and Ryanair may well be comparable in that they fundamentally fall into the perceived LCC category, but their cost base and margins on particular routes will be far from so.
I'm not saying BOH-NTE will necessarily be a roaring success, or likewise that BHX-NTE doesn't have potential. Frankly I doubt many of us posting on these pages have any real indication as to how well specific routes are performing in line with expectations for each carrier.
