easyJet started out with such promise from EMA, it has been a shame that they now appear to have been hemmed in by all of the previously mentioned low-cost airlines at EMA, as well as the further competition that comes from Coventry and Birmingham. I have been surprised that easyJet haven't considered expanding from Doncaster-Sheffield considering EZY's very good relationship with Peel Holdings who also own Liverpool their second UK base, and there is no way that easyJet would consider having bases at the two airports. As DSA is hoping to expand at quite a rapid pace with Thomsonfly unable really to fill that as a predominantly holiday airline, easyJet would appear to be the ideal airport partner, it'd be interesting to know if DSA had put in some sort of tender for easyJet and more so what EMA has offered to keep easyJet here.
