And again, EZY doesn't seem to be very happy to serve Malta-route head-to-head with FR, as Malta Today reports:
(Maltese) Government is expected to be confronted by EasyJet officials tomorrow, protesting at having to share Luton airport with Irish rivals Ryanair.
Should government insist on Luton, EasyJet are more likely to pull out of servicing the Malta route.
Contrary to Ryanair – who immediately responded to last week’s invitation by government to start low-cost operations to Malta – EasyJet chose to keep mum and just responded to a call issued by government for “talks” this week to discuss the details of the offer.
While EasyJet’s press office insisted not to comment about any matter relating to Malta, sources close to the UK based-low cost carrier revealed that EasyJet officials will tomorrow submit to government a proposal to offer Stansted or Gatwick.
Luton airport serves as EasyJet’s headquarters and it is believed that the airline was never keen to share an airport with Ryanair.
True, don't you think?
Would we have somewhat oddly FR serving Malta from Luton and EZY from Stansted? Or will EZY give it up altogether?
