It's obvious that EasyJet are turning the screw on LS. They seem to be the biggest LoCo competition in town. They did exactly the same when FR and EI announced plans at Belfast. Planes taken from Newcastle and given to Belfast was a case of posturing - the population of NI and the NE are broadly similar as are economic demographics. EasyJet will announce more routes when Air Berlin and Wizz show their faces and might go head to head with one or two more with LS.
