Can't imagine EZY will like this one very much. I am surprised, albeit pleasantly that LS decided to go for jugular and take EZY on on 'their' territory, as well as the high frequency TOM services to PMI and AGP. In reality though, if an airline was going to go head to head, these are the routes that would be expected, rather than BCN, PRG which have smaller markets.
I can't see EZY being too threatened by this however, although I do think that LS will do well. LS has a good reputation in the North now, whilst EZY is just digging it's own grave. I would expect LS to go daily on AGP, MJV, ORK,and possibly VLC by summer 08. I can't see EZY expanding to any destinations at all in the next few seasons, although I do think it'll take a lot more to drive them out.
Wonder if WW's decision down the road had anything to do with this expansion?
