Unfortunately Xana, if you e-mail easyJet with your situation, they will not confirm or deny any plans for a base in Portugal. Unfortunately, if they told you either way, this would be a divulgence of market sensitive information which could potentially affect the share price.
easyJet will only announce that a base will open ONCE ALL the necessary paperwork has been completed and all market research on the viability of a Portuguese base has been carried out.
In other words, you will only know when we the easyJet crew know
