EasyJet vs Ryanair is a tricky comparison, it all depends on the route and what the passenger is looking for. In terms of cost, Ryanair could beat easyJet hands down just because the two cost bases are now quite far apart, is it not something like €20 per passenger different now? This makes it difficult to easyJet to compete where passengers aren't looking for anything but price and timings etc. EasyJet will win market share over business routes, with better frequencies, over leisure routes where passengers with families are concerned about baggage restrictions and other similar service related factors.
On another note, the summer schedules look nearly complete. Edinburgh for example, is showing 5 aircraft based with a few gaps here and there now for summer 2010, yet still no announcement of this. Are there any more bases where this is the case? BHX, EMA etc?
