I'm in total agreement that the EMA base will probably stay with three based aircraft for another five years, because easyJet must be earning some money for them not to pull out and also realised that there is no room for them to feasibly expand. A lot of easyJet's major cities are now in close competition to routes already served at reasonable frequencies by Ryanair, bmibaby or Thomsonfly. They could easily add two or three new routes even without adding any more aircraft just by tightening up the schedule, but tomorrow I think will only bring the same routes as we've seen many times before. Whatever happens, let's just hope for my sake that if they're around EMA next summer that they stick with Servisair!

Where are Thomsonfly getting their B738s from? I know there are a few airports like LTN, DSA & NCL who all seem to be expecting these planes for next summer, though I didn't know that TOM had any on order.
