KRK was served by LS (same frequency - Mon & Fri) using a B752 for a time (2006/7 I believe), but then EZY came onto the route and LS backed off, which was then shortly followed by EZY cancelling the route too.
ALC & FAO tie in very nicely with the rumour that EZY will stick with 3 aircraft for Summer 2011 (down from 5 in 2010), so LS will be testing the resolve of EZY to hang onto these routes, given that they will have to make certain cuts to fit everything in to the reduced programme.
So it seems like LS will be back to the aircraft levels they had based in Summer 2007 (2 x B752, 3 x B733) although the utilisation of the aircraft will be higher in Summer 2011 than it was back in 2007.
Aegean Flights/H4U seem to have a very much expanded programme for Summer 2011 from NCL, with Onur Air flights to DLM 5 x per week, BJV 3 x per week and a Sky Airlines AYT 1 x per week planned so far (peak season). Add to this the extra AYT & HRG for TCX and (hopefully) the void created by EZY should be well on the way to being filled.
On top of this there are also the persistent rumours of someone picking up the STN route vacated by EZY aswell as the possibility of a new link to Germany (BER/FRA) coming next year. I would also maybe expect somone (possibly LS/RYR) to seriously consider taking up the MLA route left by EZY too.
