When Ryanair has come into an airport served by Easyjet or vice versa there has been very little overlap of routes. Also both airlines are large and with substantial reserves. It is not the same situation as at LBA where Ryanair is clearly going after Jet2's most profitable routes. If the airport management is helping them to do this by letting them operate effectively for nothing (as Manchester has claimed Ryanair was demanding) I'm not sure the results will be beneficial in the long-term or whether you can rely on Ryanair to get a return on £140 million or more investment. It is more likely that Jet2 will want lower fees than Ryanair will accept higher charges.
