Does anybody think that an easyJet base is likely for the future out of DSA, or is EMA too close? The airline already has a fantastic cooperation with Peel Holdings who also owns LPL, indeed the terminal buildings at the two airports look remarkably similar. Also, Thomsonfly don't seem to be the best low cost platform for the airport, as they haven't expanded their scheduled route network in a while, though it's nice to see so much charter expansion, as well as the new flyglobespan long haul routes.

The EMA base has reached stagnation, and with the new aggressive Ryanair base, EZY doesn't have much chance of expanding even if they wanted to.
