and also a
Madrid - Tenerife North

This news follows indications earlier this month that they applied for slots on two other domestic Spanish routes:
Madrid - Asturias
Madrid - Lanzarote
Anybody else have info on an Easyjet base in Madrid?
I'm surprised by their tactics tough of muscling in on the Spanish domestic
market
but if there's money to be made...
An increased Easyjet presence in Spain (reported to be to the scale of 135% for the coming winter) may shake up the likes of Iberia, and force them into a Aerlingus / SAS style remodelling! (How many strikes would we have to endure during that process though). Try buying a one way ticket with Iberia. It'll cost 10 times the regular return fare. When are the likes of Iberia and BA going to learn that oneway ticketing can only be advantageous!
PS - I can't see any airlines rushing to open routes to Tel Aviv with the current situation
