Oli,
Unfortunatly i think after the big fan fair about EMA being the only airport with FR, WW, LS and U2 and now losing Easyjet, we wont be seeing anyone taking over the routes.
Its a failier on the part of the airport management in part. They cant blame the recession and passenger figures were pretty good from EMA most of the time. When an airline becomes stagnent, it becomes a problem. There has been no expansion at EMA in 7 years from Easyjet. Where are the 'perks' that Ryanair seem to get. Im also sure LS got a top deal, after signing a 10 year contcat with the airport. Wait for an even steeper decline in passenger figures. wi have lost about 750K pax from Easyjet and gained roughly 130K from Jet2
regards
Stu
