Easy Alliance ???
EASYJET is reported considering setting up an alliance with German budget airlines Germanwings and TUIfly at the Cologne / Bonn airport. However, Germanwings denied the report this morning.
The airlines and airport would establish a flight reservation system that would make multi-stop flights easier for passengers, German newspaper Welt am Sonntag reported. The newspaper said the alliance could be similar to co-operation agreements in the US that allow passenger to make multi-destination reservations using several budget carriers.
There are still several problems that need to be tackled before such a system could be put in place, the newspaper added. These include resolving which airline would pay for flight delay reimbursements and hotel stays for passengers who miss connections.
